Why FSCS Compliance Starts with IT - A Strategy Guide for CIOs & CTOs

Regulators don’t forgive fragile data! FSCS SCV is a resilience test, where CIOs and CTOs must now prove that systems, not just policies, can withstand PRA/FSCS drills. Fail once, and the cost is reputational damage, regulatory fines, and loss of depositor trust.

Here’s what you must overcome

Legacy Systems: Outdated CBS and siloed data flows that choke SCV pipelines during drills.
Manual Workarounds: Excel-heavy reconciliations disguised as “semi-automation” that crumble under scrutiny.
Opaque Vendors: Platforms that push costly modules, hide upgrade fees, and delay schema updates.
Weak Audit Trails: Inability to demonstrate tamper-proof logs or role-based access when regulators demand proof.
Cultural Gaps: Compliance seen as “IT’s problem” rather than an enterprise-wide responsibility.

Inside the guide, you’ll discover

How modular, automation-first SCV systems future-proof your compliance.
The must-have features (schema agility, drill simulators, API connectors) that separate leaders from laggards.
CIO/CTO due diligence questions that expose vendor weaknesses before you sign.
A 90-day blueprint to build regulator-ready pipelines, resilient, secure, and auditable.
How to embed SCV into culture so data quality becomes everyone’s business, not just IT’s.
