Information on Operational resilience guidelines (PS21/3) - June 2022

We have received no requests for support following the publication of the joint Policy Statement (PS21/3).

The scope of this part of your request is very broad and we do not hold centralised records on how many firms on average asked for support across all Policy Statements we’ve issued in the past. To retrieve information relevant to this part of your request, we would need to review the individual files of each policy statement published by the FCA. The analysis and reconciliation needed to complete this exercise would amount to the creation of new information, which we are not required to do under FOIA.

We have received twelve requests for further information following the publication of PS21/3.

We have received four requests for support following the operational resilience rules coming into force on 31 March 2022.

The number of firms in-scope of the policy fluctuates depending on permissions and firm authorisations and cancellations. We currently estimate there are approximately 2,500 firms in scope of the policy.
