Why Proving Stressed Exit Readiness Is Becoming A Regulatory Priority test interiew 11/9

Wayne Scott, GRC Solutions Lead, Escode

Wayne Landman, Director Controls Assurance & Consulting, PricewaterhouseCoopers

At Vendor & Third Party Risk Europe, Wayne Scott discusses the growing regulatory focus on stressed exit planning and operational resilience. Ahead of his session at Vendor & Third Party Risk USA, he explores why organizations must move beyond documented policies to demonstrate real-world exit readiness, how firms can address third-party dependencies, and what regulators increasingly expect from resilience programmes.

In this onsite interview, Wayne Scott examines the evolving expectations surrounding operational resilience and stressed exit planning. He discusses how regulatory frameworks such as DORA are shifting the focus from policy documentation to demonstrable evidence, requiring firms to prove they can continue operating or exit critical third-party arrangements under stressed conditions.

Scott also explores the practical challenges organizations face, including limited visibility into complex supplier ecosystems, concentration risk, subcontractor dependencies, and ownership gaps across resilience programmes. He outlines how testing, validation, and independent assurance can help firms strengthen resilience capabilities and move from theoretical planning to operational readiness.
