Optro Launches Business Continuity Management to Bridge GRC and Operational Resilience
Event summary
- Optro introduced its Business Continuity Management (BCM) solution at its CRX EMEA conference in London on June 10, 2026.
- A survey of 500+ leaders found 92% confident in recovery plans, but only 47% met objectives during actual disruptions.
- BCM integrates business processes, dependencies, and risks within Optro’s GRC platform for real-time planning and simulation.
- Shawbrook Bank’s Operational Risk Director highlights the solution’s potential to align risk management with operational response.
The big picture
Optro’s BCM launch targets a critical gap in enterprise resilience: the disconnect between static continuity plans and real-world disruptions. With 40% of disruptions costing $1M+, the solution aligns with growing regulatory and investor pressure for operational transparency. The move positions Optro to compete with broader platform providers in the $10B+ GRC market.
