During this webinar we discussed the FCA’s Business Plan 2024/5, which has Operational Resilience as one of its areas of focus. The potential impacts of operational failure of a payments firm on its customers mean that there is now a Consumer Duty angle that has to be taken into consideration. As all payments firms must comply with the FCA’s requirements on Operational Resilience, it is vital that management are aware of the requirements and have a plan in place both to be compliant and to be able to evidence that this is the case.

We are pleased to have partnered with NetSPI for this webinar. NetSPI is the proactive security solution used to discover, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities of the highest importance.
