As of March 31, 2025, the transition period for PS21/3 has ended, ushering in a new chapter for operational resilience in the UK. Simultaneously, the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has moved from anticipation to enforcement, redefining expectations for ICT risk, third-party oversight, and incident reporting. Yet, even as deadlines pass, the deeper challenge begins: building resilience that lasts.
CLDigital is proud to partner with the Investment Association to help firms navigate this new reality. As part of our commitment, we’re hosting a pre-event webinar on June 4 and will sponsor the IA Resilience Forum in London on July 8. These events aim to support financial services organizations in shifting from compliance checklists to sustainable, intelligent resilience programs.
What Comes After the Deadline?
In our June 4 webinar, “From Regulation to Reinvention,” CLDigital experts Joleen Engela and Ananda Rao will examine how leading firms are adapting to the post-deadline environment:
- How UK financial institutions are addressing FCA Day 2 supervisory expectations
- Early DORA enforcement takeaways from across the EU
- The impact of systemic incidents (like the CrowdStrike outage) on scenario testing and board oversight
- How to embed resilience as a continuous, enterprise-wide capability
The webinar will also offer practical insights for organizations still refining their frameworks or scaling DORA compliance across complex third-party ecosystems.
Why This Matters
Both DORA and PS21/3 signal a fundamental shift: operational resilience is no longer a back-office concern but a strategic imperative. Regulators are focusing on board governance, real-time risk visibility, and proactive disruption planning. Resilience must evolve from a periodic exercise to a living, integrated function.
