This scenario-based multiple-choice assessment is designed to evaluate the technical knowledge, judgement, and strategic thinking required for a candidate joining the area of resilience risk in a banking environment.
It covers the full spectrum of operational resilience responsibilities, including regulatory compliance (SAMA, Basel, Bank of England, CPMI-IOSCO), business continuity management, disaster recovery, crisis response, third-party dependency risk, and the use of resilience metrics for continuous improvement. Questions are framed as realistic, severe-but-plausible operational events, requiring candidates to prioritise actions, assess trade-offs, and apply best practice under pressure.
The assessment is targeting professionals with experience in resilience, operational risk, or business continuity. It is suitable for screening applicants for resilience-focused roles where regulatory engagement, cross-functional coordination, and high-stakes incident management are critical to success.
