5. Client Infrastructure Resilience

Oversee business continuity and disaster recovery readiness for client-managed environments
Collaborate with service delivery teams to ensure:

- Audit findings and remediation progress
- Exercise outcomes
- Emerging risks (including AI and regulatory changes)

Verify appropriate handling of personal data risks through DPIA oversight
Embed BC considerations into broader risk and compliance frameworks

8. Continuous Improvement & Awareness

Promote awareness and training on business continuity across the organisation
Maintain documentation, playbooks, and recovery plans
