Business Continuity Plan Testing for Financial Institutions
Nordic financial firms licensed or registered with their Financial Supervisory Authority face growing regulatory and contractual demands to prove operational resilience. Regular testing of business continuity and crisis management plans has become an industry standard.
At GOT YOUR BACK, we help fund managers and financial institutions strengthen preparedness through practical and interactive tabletop exercises. These sessions simulate realistic crisis scenarios, such as cyberattacks or system outages, in a controlled, discussion-based setting. Participants walk through roles, decisions, and response strategies without affecting live operations.
Why It Matters
Tabletop exercises help organisations build resilience by:
- Assessing readiness for cyber threats like ransomware or supply chain attacks
- Testing communication and decision-making protocols
- Strengthening leadership coordination and situational awareness
- Supporting compliance with the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
Our Approach
Sessions are tailored to your organisation’s risk profile and operational structure:
- Custom crisis scenario relevant to your business
- Guided walkthroughs of incident response and continuity plans
- Role play and strategic decision-making
- Executive reports with actionable recommendations
We offer scalable formats from one-hour sessions to full-day workshops, designed for teams across IT, security, legal, communications, and leadership.
DORA Alignment
Articles 24–25 of DORA require financial entities to implement a digital operational resilience testing programme. Scenario-based tests like tabletop exercises form a core component, ensuring your organisation can demonstrate readiness, validate response plans, and maintain business continuity in the face of ICT disruptions.
