The compounding shocks created by climate change were the topic of our latest SR:500 roundtable. Organisations are being forced to reassess their long-held assumptions about resilience, continuity and operational risk as they navigate the road ahead.
Previously a back-office function, resilience in the digital space is now in the spotlight. At an SR:500 roundtable in asssociation with Marsh, risk leaders explored how AI, regulation and culture are highlighting new strategies and demanding board-level attention.
Enterprise risk management often promises insight but delivers assurance. As boards push for clearer, risk-informed choices, risk leaders need to move beyond compliance-driven GRC workflows and towards decision-focused measurement that links risk to objectives, an approach Face the Risk is helping organisations put into practice.
In a new regulatory era heralded by DORA, accountability is on a whole new level. If you are a decision-maker, you could be held responsible for compliance failures far down your vendor chain. Companies must be insurance ready, warns BHSI’s Koen Cambré and Adrienne Sitbon.
