Operational Resilience Requirements

It has been a key priority for the Bank of England (BoE), Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), collectively “the supervisory authorities,” to put in place a stronger regulatory framework to promote the operational resilience of firms and FMIs. The supervisory authorities published a joint Discussion Paper on Operational Resilience in 2018, setting out an approach to operational resilience. Next, the supervisory authorities published a suite of consultation documents “the consultations” in 2019 to embed this approach into policy. On March 29, 2021, the supervisory authorities published their final policy and supervisory statements “Operational resilience: impact tolerances for important business services.”

Under the consultations proposed requirements, firms and FMIs are expected to:

  • identify their important business services by considering how disruption to the business services they provide can have impacts beyond their own commercial interests;
  • set a tolerance for disruption for each important business service; and
  • ensure they can continue to deliver their important business services and are able to remain within their impact tolerances during severe (or in the case of FMIs, extreme) but plausible scenarios.
Corporater Operational Resilience Software

Corporater Operational Resilience solution is a digital tool developed specifically for financial services institutions (FSIs) in the UK. It enables firms to establish a holistic operational resilience programme — set clear standards for operational resilience in their firm, define important business services (IBS), map out operational dependencies, define maximum tolerable level of disruption to an IBS, assess and test resilience measures, create recovery and crisis management plans, identify gaps, make informed decisions to prevent undesirable risks, and demonstrate compliance with the applicable UK regulations, including requirements outlined in FCA PS21/3, PRA PS6/21 and Bank of England policy on Operational Resilience of FMI’s.

Corporater enables firms to take a systematic approach to operational resilience, which allows them to establish a solid operational resilience programme and continuously prepare, detect, respond, recover, and adapt to disruptions to important business services.

Solution Benefits

Establish a solid operational resilience programme

Establish clear lines of responsibility for the management of operational resilience in your firm. Define roles and responsibilities, promote accountability, set expectations, and communicate them across your organization. Define who is responsible for identifying important business services (IBS), and who is responsible for approving impact tolerances set for each of them. Create and maintain a self-assessment document outlining your resilience journey and how your firm is meeting its resilience responsibilities.

Identify your important business services

Identify important business services (IBS) that, if disrupted, could cause intolerable levels of harm to one or more firm’s clients, or pose a risk to the soundness, stability or resilience of the UK financial system or the orderly operation of the financial markets. List out your IBS in digital registers with corresponding impact tolerance.

Map your important business services

Map your important business services (IBS) in digital maps, and evidence that your firm has the necessary people, processes, technology, facilities, and resources required to deliver each of its IBS. Map out interdependencies and interconnections among your IBS, and conduct scenario testing.

Set and test impact tolerances

Set and test impact tolerance of a disruption for each IBS. Define your tolerance threshold (between the points of desired recovery and intolerable harm) for each IBS, and generate impact tolerance statements.

Conduct scenario testing

Test your firm’s ability to remain within its impact tolerance for each of your IBS in the event of disruption. Identify an appropriate range of severe scenarios of varying nature, severity and duration relevant to your business and risk profile, and test their impact.

Create self-assessment documents

Demonstrate compliance to key stakeholders, auditors, and the FCA regulatory body. Create self-assessment documents outlining your firm’s IBS, corresponding impact tolerances, approach to mapping and identification of resources, strategy for scenario testing, and overview of vulnerabilities that pose a threat to the firm’s ability to deliver its IBS within impact tolerances. Generate and export your documents in a variety of popular formats including Word, Excel, PPT, and PDF.
