ISO 20022 ADOPTIONFor corporates these days executing a holistic payments strategy can feel like a never ending project in itself.

Good for them. And it’s true having a plan in place to accommodate the loss of access to the main office is one of the critical considerations in formulating an effective BCP plan. A full BCP plan needs to cover much more than planning for remote working. Starting to build out a BCP can be daunting, so we present an approach to defining what a BCP plan should cover for a specific company and how to evaluate and prioritize mitigations and recovery from those events, should they occur.

Using our experience through the years, these are the things we have found helpful to work remotely, efficiently, and with sufficient controls in place. As we have discovered, working remotely does not mean you have to sacrifice collaboration for flexibility; you just need to be a bit more creative. Click here or the button below to download the PDF.
