Is Your Third-Party Risk Readiness Matching the Reality?

Despite a growing awareness of third-party risk, there is a gap between what firms believe they’re ready for, and what they’ve actually planned, tested, or verified. This webinar explores the findings from Escode’s latest whitepaper, Supplier Stability in Operational Resilience, with a focus on how financial institutions can turn intent into impact – especially when coming to real-world risks like supplier failure, degradation, or concentration.

Join us for an insightful practical analysis to shift from assumption to assurance. So, whether you’re shaping your next resilience plan or tightening controls under DORA, SS2/21 or FFIEC guidance, this one’s for you!

Key takeaways

What Will You Learn?

  • Confidence ≠ Capability

    Feeling confident doesn’t mean you’re truly resilient—confidence needs evidence.

    Organisations that verified their exit plans were 4× more likely to report confidence in their resilience.

  • Ad-Hoc is Not a Strategy

    Firms relying on inconsistent or reactive continuity processes face the lowest assurance and compliance levels.

    Infrequent or ad-hoc approaches leave teams vulnerable—especially during audits or regulatory reviews.

  • Progress is happening - but slowly.

    Many organisations are still stuck in the “lessons learned” phase.

    While there’s incremental improvement year over year, most firms haven’t fully moved from reflection to implementation.

    The shift from learning to action is essential to build real operational resilience.
