Strengthening digital and operational resilience

Grant Thornton Belgium supports financial institutions in strengthening their digital and operational resilience in today’s complex environment.

We help organisations achieve DORA and NIS2 readiness by translating regulatory requirements into concrete actions, governance frameworks, and control mechanisms that are both practical and sustainable.

IT and cyber risk assessments as a foundation

In addition, we perform IT and cyber risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and risks, helping organisations prioritise improvement initiatives. Our assessments do not focus solely on technology but also consider processes, people, and governance, creating a holistic approach to IT risk management.

Data Governance and Technology Risk Management

In the areas of data and technology, we support organisations in establishing robust data governance frameworks, managing cloud-related risks, and structuring effective third-party management.

In an environment where outsourcing and dependencies on external providers continue to grow, it is essential to implement clear agreements, monitoring processes, and control mechanisms.

Operational resilience and business continuity

Finally, we help financial institutions strengthen their operational resilience and outsourcing governance.

This includes identifying critical activities, developing business continuity and recovery plans, and establishing clear governance around outsourcing arrangements, in line with regulatory expectations.

Approach

Our approach combines deep technological expertise with a thorough understanding of the financial services sector and its regulatory landscape.
We ensure that solutions are not only compliant but also practical, scalable, and aligned with the organisation’s level of maturity and strategic objectives.

By doing so, we help financial institutions strengthen risk management, enhance resilience, and maintain the trust of customers, regulators, and other stakeholders.
