Operational resilience is entering a more demanding phase. For UK banks, demonstrating compliance is increasingly about producing continuous, granular evidence of how critical business services withstand disruption, not simply documenting that controls exist.
This brief examines what evolving supervisory scrutiny means for resilience architecture, evidence, and accountability. It explores why tightly coupled legacy environments can make dependency mapping and evidence generation difficult, and how API-led architectures and regulated DevSecOps pipelines can make resilience evidence part of everyday technology operations.
It also clarifies an important distinction between the UK’s operational resilience regime and DORA, including where DORA genuinely applies to UK institutions with EU exposure.
