Resilience under pressure: why modern platforms really fail

UK organisations are operating in an environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny, geopolitical instability and increasing board-level accountability. At the same time, expectations around data sovereignty, AI governance and cyber resilience are evolving faster than most operating models were designed to handle.

When pressure comes from regulators, boards or public scrutiny, leaders are judged on clarity, control and confidence. Most failures in these moments are not caused by a lack of technology investment, but by cloud, data and security decisions that were made in isolation and only reveal their weaknesses under stress.

In this executive briefing, Liam Bennett, Deputy CTO at Claranet, will explore how modern platform decisions can quietly increase business risk, and what resilient organisations do differently to retain control and credibility when it matters most.

What we’ll cover

• How regulatory, geopolitical and cyber pressure is reshaping executive accountability
• Why many organisations struggle to evidence control and confidence under scrutiny
• Where modern platform decisions create hidden exposure at board level
• How resilient organisations maintain clarity, credibility and decision-making authority during incidents
• What “good” looks like when resilience is assessed by regulators, boards and stakeholders

Who should attend

This briefing is designed for CIOs, CTOs and senior leaders accountable for operational resilience, regulatory confidence and organisational credibility.
