Drawing on findings from our recent research, we discuss the progress many firms have made in putting solid foundations in place, including standardising and rationalising control data, developing central control libraries and bringing greater clarity to control definitions and prioritisation. We also look ahead to what comes next, with a growing focus on real‑time monitoring, better use of data and stronger connections across risk and resilience, supported by automation and AI to drive better insight, decision‑making and resilience. This episode features Helen Labbate, Deputy Director – Research and Information, Emilie Odin, Senior Research Manager and Abi Jones, Assistant Research Manager.
