With the implementation of the DORA Act, operational resilience is no longer just a regulatory concern but a critical business imperative. The EU now mandates that all financial entities ensure digital operational resilience, placing a significant focus on supplier management. But how can organizations, particularly their IT procurement teams, ensure that the suppliers they rely on are resilient enough to support business continuity? This session will explore how to segment suppliers, prioritize based on criticality, and integrate resilience into procurement processes to safeguard essential services.

  • How to effectively segment and prioritize suppliers to ensure operational resilience?
  • How to keep supplier data sources updated and identify critical suppliers in the supply chain?
  • How to incorporate exit plans into supplier contracts, mitigate risks and ensure continuity?
  • How can IT procurement collaborate with other managers and product owners to maintain operational resilience across the organization?
