Operational Resilience

The FCA has made operational resilience a requirement for banks, building societies, PRA-designated investment firms, enhanced scope firms and other financial institutions.

An operational resilience framework involves identifying important business services, setting impact tolerances, and mapping and testing to respond to operational disruptions.

Our Operational Resilience course will provide you with a better understanding of what the FCA means by operational resilience and how to comply with the FCA's requirements.

We have a free untracked version of this module for everyone to review the course content.
