Preparing for the Unexpected: Business Continuity and Information Security Considerations
Off Screen Text
August 2021
“Unprecedented” may have been one of the most-used words in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted people, businesses and markets around the world. The rapid shift to remote working saw financial services market participants work to protect the health and safety of their teams, as well as respecting the evolving requirements of governments and health authorities. Amid this environment, business continuity and business resiliency took on even further importance and focus. Likewise, a new set of challenges faced organizations as they looked to secure the information under their control among a workforce suddenly dispersed into their home environments for an extended period of time.
CIBC Mellon has long invested in business continuity and resiliency, and our team is proud of its performance amid COVID-19. We worked to support clients, engage with market stakeholders and above all else, protect our teams. We were pleased to be named #1 in the world by Global Finance for treasury operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We remain nonetheless firmly committed to continuous improvement.
