Operational Resilience
Maturing your Self-Assessment to meet Regulatory Expectations
Payment firms and their boards are increasingly being challenged on thematic findings, including superficial impact tolerance metrics, a lack of scenario testing evidence, narrow cyber risk assumptions and incomplete resource mapping. Lumiel helps calibrate and build resilient operational control environments tailored specifically for banks & FinTech.
