The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) have made one thing very clear in their 2026 agenda: financial institutions are entering a new era of governance where digital operational resilience, ICT oversight, incident management, and accountability are becoming central regulatory priorities.

Swiss GRC participated as a Platinum Sponsor at the G[P]RC Summit 2026 in Riyadh, co-sponsoring with StorIT.

As organizations approach 2026, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is undergoing a fundamental transformation. What was once viewed primarily as a compliance obligation is now emerging as a strategic capability-one that enables resilience, informed decision-making, and long-term trust. For business leaders, the focus is no longer on whether governance frameworks are in place.
GCC GRC Day 2025 shows that AI governance, resilience and integrated risk management are becoming central to effective GRC across the GCC. The conference highlights how organizations must strengthen their GRC programmes to navigate accelerating risks and support sustainable decision-making.
Business continuity is no longer a side project for disaster recovery. It is now a strategic capability that underpins organizational resilience. Real strength arises when continuity, enterprise risk, compliance, cyber, and third-party oversight are interconnected, and the resulting synergies yield measurable outcomes.
AI Governance in India sets new benchmarks with a 4-tier framework that ensures privacy, security, and trust in AI systems. The model introduces clear rules for risk classification, system inventory, and continuous monitoring to strengthen transparency, fairness, and accountability. By embedding DPDP and CERT-In requirements across the AI lifecycle, it offers enterprises practical guidance to align compliance with innovation and to deploy AI responsibly.
In 2025, the organizations that lead will not be those with the most detailed compliance policies. They will be the ones that can absorb shocks, protect operations, and regain momentum faster than their peers. Resilience is not about avoiding disruption. It is about preparing for it, navigating it, and learning from it. This is the moment to move beyond reactive compliance.

The regulatory landscape for Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is undergoing a fundamental transformation. With the new EBA Guideline, the DORA Regulation, and the anticipated revision of MaRisk, financial institutions are required to strategically realign their outsourcing and risk governance practices. The Deggendorf Note 2025/06 delivers a thorough analysis of this shift and leaves no doubt: Excel spreadsheets and siloed solutions are no longer sufficient.
