UK Operational Resilience compliance, run as a living system
The UK operational resilience regime requires regulated financial firms to identify important business services, set impact tolerances for each, map the people, processes, technology and third parties supporting them, and test against severe but plausible scenarios.
Who it applies to
UK banks, building societies, insurers, investment firms, payment and e-money institutions and financial market infrastructures.
What it demands
Important business services
Identification, board approval and periodic review of the service list.
Impact tolerances
Maximum tolerable disruption set per service, with justification.
Mapping
Dependencies mapped across people, processes, technology, facilities and third parties.
Scenario testing
Severe but plausible testing, lessons learned and a self-assessment document maintained.
How Compli-Once runs it
- 1
Services, tolerances and dependency maps held as live records linked to controls, vendors and incidents.
- 2
Scenario tests run as engagements with findings, owners and CAPAs on the standard audit machinery.
- 3
The self-assessment is generated from current state, so the document and the programme cannot drift apart.
What you already satisfy
UK Operational Resilience overlaps with frameworks you may already run. The crosswalk quantifies existing coverage on day one, before you plan a single task.
Implement once, satisfy many
In a representative demonstration environment, 61% of a newly adopted regulatory framework was already satisfied by the existing ISO 27001 programme.

Frequently asked questions
What does the UK operational resilience regime require?
Firms must identify important business services, set an impact tolerance for each, map the dependencies that support them, test against severe but plausible scenarios, and maintain a board-approved self-assessment.
How are dependency maps kept current?
Mappings link to the same controls, vendors and assets the rest of the programme uses, so a change in one place is reflected everywhere it matters.
How is scenario testing evidenced?
Tests run as engagements: scope, participants, results, findings with owners and due dates, and closure evidence on the same record.
Does it overlap with continuity standards?
Yes. Continuity and resilience controls are crosswalked, so one implementation supports both the regulatory regime and the certification standard.
