Sector Response
Post Incident Review Templates
CMORG has refreshed the Sector Response Framework (SRF) Post Incident Review Templates, offering a more structured and consistent way for groups to capture lessons learned. The updated templates for sector make it easy to for response group leads, identify what worked well, highlight areas for improvement and strengthen future incident response across the sector.

The DSL is designed to be a shared resource which contains a catalogue of categorised and individually described scenarios, constructed using a common design methodology.
Resilience
Threat Monitoring - Report Highlights
This summary presents key findings from the 2025 cross-sector threat monitoring survey, with input from 25 UK financial sector firms. The report highlights the extensive and diverse set of significant threats to operational resilience, both in the short and longer terms. Of the 35 baseline sectoral threats evaluated, 29 were assessed as sufficiently significant to be of concern.
Resilience
FMI Assurance Questionnaire Template
FMIs and Firms comply with the same operational resilience and business continuity regulations. They all make detailed operational resilience self-assessments available to the Bank of England, PRA and FCA.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to understand the macro vulnerabilities that exist in relation to business continuity and operational resilience between FMIs and their clients.

This questionnaire aims to be the next step in the dialogue between FMIs and clients. The spirit is to be collaborative and non-judgemental.

The questionnaire template includes sample answers to guide your responses.

Voluntary Sterling Settlement Postponement (VSSP) Playbook
The concept of a Voluntary Sterling Settlement Postponement (VSSP) first arose during the 1987 Storm when many London staff were unable to travel to work and the high street banks agreed with the Bank of England (‘the Bank’) that it was not possible to run an orderly settlement day and closed.

This document sets out the closure of VSSP Phase 2 and CMORG approval of scope for Phase 3.

It also includes a reference to collective sector contingencies that might form part of the sector’s response. Firms are encouraged to ensure their group’s participation records are accurate and aligned with the latest guidance.
