This feature explores the Incident Communications Group (ICG) role in supporting coordinated, sector-wide communication during periods of disruption, where it sits within the SRF, when it is convened, and how it helps ensure a consistent and effective flow of information across firms and authorities.

CMORG’s AI Taskforce has published Firm Guidance for Frontier AI in response to the development of advanced AI capabilities that will materially increase the speed, scale and sophistication of cyber threats, compressing timelines for vulnerability discovery, exploitation and remediation.

CMORG is introducing a monthly Spotlight series on the Sector Response Groups and FMI Crisis Committees that sit within the Sector Response Framework (SRF). These Spotlights are designed to bring greater visibility to how the sector coordinates during periods of disruption, clearly setting out the role of each group, how it operates in practice, and why it matters for firms and the wider ecosystem.

This is the first in a monthly Spotlight series focusing on the UK Finance Business and Operational Continuity Committee (BOCC). The full feature covers the BOCC’s role, where it sits within the SRF, when it is stood up, and how it supports coordinated sector wide response during instability.
