Surviving the Audit Live roundtable + Q&A (45-60 minutes)

Auditors, regulators and insurers now expect hard evidence of operational resilience, not just a backup policy.

In this live roundtable, we will unpack what that means under CSRB, NIS2 and DORA, why immutable backups and clean recovery environments are becoming the baseline for cyber insurance, and the kind of recovery evidence auditors actually trust.

Date: 19 March
Time: 1:00pm to 2:00pm GMT

What this session will help you do

Untitled (52)
  • Understand what scrutiny will focus on in 2026: Where CSRB, NIS2 and DORA are pushing organisations, and the areas auditors tend to test first.
  • Know what evidence stands up: What auditors and insurers actually ask for when they are assessing recoverability, and how to avoid gaps in the evidence trail.
  • Strengthen recovery with immutability: What ‘immutable’ needs to mean when ransomware targets backup infrastructure and admin credentials, not just production systems.
  • Prove recoverability with verified recovery workflows: How to move from occasional restore tests to repeatable verification and reporting you can use in audits, insurer conversations, and board updates.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this webinar for?

This session is designed for CIOs, CISOs, senior IT managers and compliance or risk leaders in UK mid-market and enterprise organisations. If you are responsible for resilience strategy, recovery capability or facing audit scrutiny, this is built for you.

What regulations are being covered?

We will focus on the practical impact of CSRB, NIS2 and DORA in 2026, particularly where they raise expectations around operational resilience and demonstrable recoverability.

Is this a technical session?

It is a strategic roundtable grounded in technical reality. We will connect regulatory expectations to real-world controls, including immutable backups, Zero Trust principles in the backup layer, clean recovery environments and verified recovery workflows.

What do you mean by ‘proof of recoverability’?

Auditors and insurers are increasingly asking organisations to demonstrate that they can restore critical systems end to end under realistic attack conditions. That means documented testing, verified recovery outcomes and evidence that controls were working before and during an incident.

Will this help with insurance renewals?

Yes. Insurance providers are tightening underwriting standards and asking for evidence of tested recovery capability. This session will clarify what typically stands up during renewal discussions and claims scrutiny.
