Business Continuity Vs. Operational Resilience – Is there a difference?


In this webinar, hear about what the regional differences are, emerging regulation changes and how to stay one step ahead of the competition (and regulators).

 

In Europe, medium and large companies don’t just look at how to get critical services and business services up and running again after a disruption; they are more likely to also look at important processes to maintain customer service levels. European organisations also have more of a tendency to look at lower level incident management too, creating a more operational resilience approach and culture.

However this is not necessarily the companies themselves driving this evolution, but regulations too that strive to make sure that customers’ interests are protected.

New Zealand, Australian, HK and Singaporean regulators are more focussed on getting business critical services up and running after a disruption. The UK/European regulation landscape is more in-depth and more customer-focussed. New Zealand, Australian and Asia Pacific companies are more focussed on identifying ‘critical’ processes and having a recovery plan, but not necessarily on other processes that are potentially just as ‘important’ to customers and brand reputation.
