If your business stores mission-critical data with third parties (which it very likely does) are you confident that you can access it when you need to? In this article I've looked at why access to data is essential for operational resilience and how to address this meaningfully in your technology and outsourcing contracts.

Thanks for sharing Kerri! Such an important but potentially confusing topic and this article does such a great job clarifying both the issue and the potential solutions to it!
I just read the insightful article “Can You Access Your Outsourced Data?” from Kerri Gevers, Norton Rose Fulbright, and its section on escrow to support data access is especially compelling. It underscores how critical data access provisions and escrow mechanisms can be for true operational resilience.

Once an ICT incident is detected, the clock starts ticking ⏱️
Under the Digital Operational Resilience Act, major incidents must be reported to regulators within strict timeframes.
That means reporting processes need to be efficient, structured, and consistent.
Predefined reporting taxonomies, automated data sourcing, and cross-functional coordination are no longer nice-to-haves, they’re essential.
Effective incident handling requires full visibility across systems, providers, and contracts 🔍
From initial detection to final reporting, DORA sets a clear expectation: organizations must build operational resilience that’s traceable, collaborative, and ready to scale.

The transition of #assets back to the #publicsector should be seamless, built on a foundation of accurate, well-maintained #data. However, too many organisations are ill-prepared, stuck with incomplete, outdated and unreliable #assetregisters.
The problem isn’t the lack of technology, it’s the failure to adopt and use it effectively. There’s an abundance of good tools out there and technology isn’t stopping progress – people are.

Most enterprises treat structured and unstructured data separately.
The result? Inefficiencies, compliance risks, and roadblocks to transformation.
Our Definitive Guide to Data Exchange shows how to unify both into secure, intelligent workflows that:
✔ Boost adoption and efficiency
✔ Simplify compliance
✔ Deliver measurable value

Static controls don’t survive in dynamic environments.
As businesses scale, diversify, and adopt new models, controls must grow with them.
I’ve seen this in one of my previous role:
✔️ When our reporting moved from spreadsheets to automated dashboards, manual checks were no longer enough, we had to embed system validations.
✔️ During a major restructuring, approval workflows were redesigned to match the new accountability structure, preventing confusion and bottlenecks.
✔️ In supply chain operations, as vendor networks expanded, controls shifted from local reconciliations to centralized monitoring with analytics.
𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 “𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩.” They are living mechanisms.
If business evolves but controls remain stagnant, risks slip through unnoticed.
👉 Strong controls adapt.
👉 Smart controls anticipate.
👉 The best controls scale with the business, not against it.

That’s the reality many public agencies still face. Legacy systems weren’t built for today’s pace of governance where compliance, transparency, and speed are non-negotiable.
We recently helped modernize a public agency agreements process, moving it from decades-old workflows into a 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
The shift wasn’t just technical it was transformational:
• Leaders now get 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 into agreement status
• Teams spend less time chasing paperwork, more time serving citizens
• Compliance checks run by default, not as afterthoughts
• Every update leaves a clear audit trail building trust inside and outside the agency
This is how legacy modernization translates into 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.
Because at the end of the day, technology isn’t about shiny tools it’s about 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀.
