Equip your organisation with the strategic foresight needed to maintain operational resilience in the face of disruption. This comprehensive self-assessment on Contingency Planning in Operational Risk Management is designed for risk professionals, compliance leads, and operational managers responsible for safeguarding business continuity across complex, interconnected environments.

Structured around best practice frameworks and global regulatory standards—including Basel III, SOX, and ISO 31000—this programme enables your team to systematically evaluate and strengthen contingency planning across mission-critical functions. From technology outages to supply chain failures and third-party dependencies, you'll gain a clear methodology for identifying, assessing, and responding to operational threats with confidence.

  • Define operational risk scope with precision, aligning internal processes to enterprise risk taxonomy and regulatory expectations while eliminating overlap with financial or strategic risk domains.
  • Conduct robust threat modelling using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), industry threat intelligence, and historical incident data to pinpoint vulnerabilities in core systems and infrastructure.
  • Assess materiality thresholds to prioritise high-impact scenarios, ensuring resource-efficient planning without overlooking emerging risks such as cyber incidents or geographic exposures.
  • Integrate third-party risk into continuity planning, with clear criteria for vendor failure inclusion and oversight mechanisms that support end-to-end resilience.
  • Resolve cross-functional conflicts by establishing objective criteria for what constitutes a "critical" business process, enabling aligned decision-making across departments.
  • Enhance audit readiness by documenting assumptions, interdependencies, and risk treatment strategies in a transparent, defensible framework.

By completing this self-assessment, your organisation will gain a clear roadmap to optimise response protocols, reduce downtime, and demonstrate proactive risk governance to stakeholders and regulators alike. Build a culture of resilience that anticipates, adapts, and maintains operational integrity under pressure.

Take control of your operational risk posture—start the self-assessment today and turn contingency planning into a strategic advantage.
