What is the Operationally-Sound Operating-Resilience course about?
Compliance officers are increasingly expected to anticipate disruptions, not just report on them. Yet most frameworks stop at documentation, leaving execution gaps when systems, suppliers, or teams come under pressure. Without an operationally-sound resilience layer, even robust policies can fail under real-world strain.
