In today's world, businesses are grappling with unparalleled disruption and escalating business risks, often with little warning.

While some companies succumb to these challenges, others seize the opportunity to innovate and adapt to ensure their future viability and success. The difference lies in resilience.

Some of the hallmarks of a resilient organisation are that its better positioned to identify and manage future risks, has business continuity and contingency plans in place, and has established processes and systems that are followed by staff.

Organisations are confronted by a barrage of risks that directly impact their financial, IT and management functions. But planning ahead for all eventualities can mitigate the risk – and potential fallout.

At the same time, regulators are intensifying the scrutiny on directors and business owners, placing greater accountability on them for the effective management of their business, its assets, data and personnel.
