The Comprehensive
Operational Resilience Scenario Testing Pack for Insurers and MGAs

This practical Operational Resilience Scenario Testing Pack is designed to help insurance firms, MGAs, and intermediaries assess the effectiveness of their operational resilience, governance, and oversight processes against real-world disruption scenarios. Presented in a structured PDF format, it enables firms to evaluate how operational incidents could impact compliance activities, delegated authority oversight, counterparty monitoring, and critical business services, helping identify vulnerabilities, strengthen resilience, and support more effective regulatory preparedness.

Operational Readiness Gaps During Expansion into New Verticals or Geographies

Why do you need to test your operational resilience?

For insurers, MGAs, and intermediaries operating within delegated authority environments, understanding how operational disruption could impact compliance oversight, counterparty monitoring, and critical business services is essential to maintaining effective control frameworks and meeting regulatory expectations.

  • Understanding of dependencies (especially third parties)
  • Defined impact tolerances
  • Scenario testing that demonstrates resilience

Without testing, it’s difficult to demonstrate that your framework works in practice.
