EQS 4: Sep 2024 PDM – Shaping Resilient Organizations

Welcome to our Enlightening quarterly series (EQS) #4. This quarter’s theme is “Shaping Resilient Organizations,” focusing on the context of the organization

This quarter, we will focus on laying a strong foundation for building a resilient organization toward designing and implementing a risk-based process framework. This foundation is critical for cybersecurity, data privacy, cloud security, and business resilience. Our focus will be on addressing internal and external issues, identifying interested parties, understanding regulatory requirements, and assessing the relevance of climate risk.
