OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE & THIRD-PARTY RISK

Prepare for disruption. Understand your dependencies.

Strengthen the services your organisation relies on and the arrangements that support them. We help you assess dependencies, plan for disruption and improve oversight of third parties.

RECOGNISABLE CHALLENGES

When we can help

Resilience becomes practical when teams can see which services matter, what they depend on and where the arrangements need attention.

  • 01Critical services and dependencies are poorly understood.
  • 02Continuity arrangements need review or testing.
  • 03Supplier oversight is inconsistent.
  • 04Leadership needs clarity on resilience gaps and priorities.

TWO CONNECTED PERSPECTIVES

What we deliver

Work can focus on one area or bring both together, depending on your services, dependencies and priorities.

The outputs below are illustrative. The agreed engagement defines which services, third parties, scenarios and deliverables are in scope.

Service continuity

Operational resilience

  • Identification of critical services and supporting dependencies.
  • Resilience and continuity framework design or review.
  • Scenario exercise design and facilitation.
  • Assessment of response and recovery arrangements.
Supplier oversight

Third-party risk

  • Supplier risk segmentation and assessment approaches.
  • Due diligence and ongoing oversight frameworks.
  • Governance, responsibilities and escalation arrangements.
  • Dependency and concentration assessments where in scope.

Requirements, language and evidence expectations are tailored to your operating context and the obligations that apply to your organisation. We agree those parameters before assessing the arrangements.

HOW WE WORK

See the dependencies. Test the arrangements.

We move from a focused scope to practical evidence about how services, teams and third parties would respond under pressure.

  1. Define scopeAgree the services, suppliers, scenarios and obligations to consider.
  2. Map dependenciesUnderstand the people, processes, technology, data and third parties involved.
  3. AssessReview governance, continuity, oversight and recovery arrangements.
  4. ExerciseDesign and facilitate selected scenarios where this forms part of the scope.
  5. PrioritiseSet practical improvements, owners and management attention.
sapere

Keep associated risks and controls visible.

Where relevant, Sapere can provide a shared home for the risk records, owners and linked controls associated with the work. We do not assume dedicated resilience or third-party functionality; platform use is considered only where the verified capabilities fit the agreed engagement.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Start with the service you cannot afford to lose.

We can help you define the scope, understand what supports that service and decide which arrangements to review or exercise first.
