Automated PRA/FCA Resilience Reporting.
Ensure compliance with UK PRA and FCA operational resilience frameworks. Qgentic OpRes programmatically generates critical compliance artifacts: the important business services register, third-party dependency mappings, and operational incident reports. Impact tolerance breaches are calculated deterministically using system timestamps to enforce objective assessment.
Self-hosted, air-gapped deployment available. Can be integrated directly into consultancy engagements.
End-to-End Reporting Workflow
Review a complete execution cycle: automated data ingestion from existing GRC tools, algorithmic tolerance breach calculation, manual approval gating, and the generation of a compliant, cryptographically hashed regulatory package.

UK Regulatory Scope
UK-Only Financial Institutions
For UK-only entities — building societies, say — that answer to PRA/FCA rules on third-party mapping, impact tolerances and incident reporting, and have no reason to carry DORA overhead.
PRA/FCA Regulated Entities
UK banks, insurers, investment firms and FMIs: important business services, tolerance tracking and disruption reporting, with every step auditable.
Multi-Jurisdictional Groups
For organisations operating across the UK and EU, the platform supports both UK OpRes and EU DORA requirements within a single architecture and unified evidence portal. Review our Preferred Partner models.
System Boundaries & Responsibilities
UK operational resilience involves complex, interconnected obligations spanning PRA and FCA rulebooks. Qgentic OpRes automates the specific data management and reporting layer, while strategic decision-making remains within your organisation's governance structures.
Reporting & Data Validation
The platform ingests existing data to programmatically construct service registers, third-party mappings, and incident reports. It enforces data integrity, calculates tolerance breaches deterministically, and generates the final regulatory package requiring explicit manual approval.
Strategic responsibilities remaining within the firm's purview:
Impact Tolerances & Service Identification
Defining which business services are critical and setting specific impact tolerances remains a board-level responsibility. The system validates the logical consistency of these definitions but does not generate them.
Scenario Execution
Firms must continue executing scenario testing and drafting annual self-assessments independently. Qgentic tracks actual incidents against tolerances; it does not simulate theoretical scenarios.
Remediation Management
Post-incident analysis, remediation planning, and subsequent operational adjustments remain internal processes. The platform provides the objective incident data required for these reviews.
Critical Third Parties (CTPs)
FSMA 2023 CTP rules apply specifically to designated infrastructure providers (e.g., major cloud vendors); standard regulated firms submitting typical resilience reports sit outside their direct scope.
The platform outputs serve as the foundational data for internal testing and regulatory review. Note: Qgentic generates the necessary reporting artifacts; submission must currently be completed manually via existing FCA RegData/Connect or PRA channels.
Automated Processing Pipeline
- Data IngestionConsumes raw data via REST API, automated file transfer, or CSV upload from existing GRC platforms without requiring proprietary plugins.
- Algorithmic ComputationIncident durations and tolerance breach determinations are calculated mathematically from system timestamps. Manual overrides that contradict the calculated data are explicitly rejected (Rule: OPRES-TOL-008).
- Data ValidationEnforces deterministic rule sets including FRN format verification, ISO 17442 LEI checksums, referential integrity across dependencies, and chronological consistency.
- Proactive Risk IdentificationAutomatically identifies and flags high-risk configurations prior to submission (e.g., material arrangements lacking exit plans [OPRES-EXIT-011], high-dependency sub-outsourcers [OPRES-SUB-012]).
- Authorisation & ExportA designated approver finalises the data. The system generates a cryptographically secured package (CSVs, JSON, and manifest hash) for regulatory submission.
Deterministic Validation Controls
| System Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Algorithmic Breach Calculation | Ensures incident durations match raw timestamps, rejecting manual tampering (OPRES-TOL-008). |
| Identifier Validation | Validates FRN structures and enforces ISO 17442 checksums for LEIs to prevent data entry errors. |
| Integrity Mapping | Flags material arrangements unlinked to specific business services as errors (OPRES-MAT-007). |
| Cryptographic Auditing | Maintains hash-chained logs of all actions and requires explicit authorisation for export generation. |
There is no public FRN check-digit algorithm, so validation pairs strict formatting rules with LEI verification to pin the entity down.
Final Submission Artifacts
Regulatory Payloads
Produces formatted CSVs (third-party register, important business services) and JSON (incident reports) compliant with current regulatory standards. All files are securely hashed into a manifest and generated only following explicit authorisation. Console dashboards support automated deadline tracking for annual self-assessments.
Filing to the Regulator
The PRA/FCA do not currently expose an API for these reports, so the software operates in prepare-only mode: your team uploads the finalised outputs to RegData/Connect or the PRA, with proof of how every number was derived.

Common Implementation Questions
What defines UK operational resilience reporting?
It encompasses the continuous evidence obligations mandated by the PRA and FCA (e.g., SYSC 15A), requiring firms to document important business services, impact tolerances, third-party dependencies, and disruption events.
Who identifies important business services?
The firm's executive board is responsible for defining these services based on potential risk to consumers or market integrity. Qgentic provides the system to validate and record these decisions; the decisions themselves stay with the board.
How are impact tolerances managed?
Tolerances are recorded as testable limits (typically durations). Qgentic mathematically evaluates actual incident timestamps against these predefined limits, removing subjective interpretation from breach reporting.
How does OpRes differ from DORA?
DORA is EU law built around a reporting format; UK OpRes is PRA/FCA supervision built around impact tolerances. Multinationals run both on one Qgentic engine. See DORA Architecture.
What specific tasks does Qgentic automate?
Qgentic automates data assembly, deterministic validation, algorithmic breach calculation, and report generation. The firm retains responsibility for strategic policy decisions, scenario testing, and internal remediation efforts.
Why does the system not submit directly via API?
The PRA and FCA do not currently expose an automated API for these specific operational resilience submissions. Qgentic automates all steps up to the final export, preparing the exact files required for manual upload to regulatory portals.
