Résumé : The paper presents a comparative analysis between the EU and the UK digital and operational resilience requirements for financial services. Focusing on the insurance industry, considering its role in providing cover for operational risks, and cyber-related ones in particular, it captures developments in relation to risk management practices. Specifically, commenting on the prudential provisions underpinning risk management systems, frameworks, and assessments, in line with Solvency II. The link between operational risk activities is also discussed as an extension of this comparison. Effectively capturing how disaster recovery (DR), business continuity planning (BCP), third-party risk management (TPRM) and outsourcing are reflected in digital and operational resilience approaches. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the similarities and differences between the EU and the UK regulatory regime in relation to digital and operational resilience requirements for re-insurance undertakings. Practical recommendations to support adherence to both underlying requirements are presented, assisting re-insurers operating in those jurisdictions.
