Convening operators responsible for preventing commercial and operational failure in large-scale digital systems.
Identity, access, transaction, and revenue risk across complex digital environments.
The Operational Risk Council is a peer-led forum for operators accountable for preventing commercial and operational failure in large-scale digital systems.
We focus on the risks that sit between technology, operations, and revenue — where identity, access, transactions, and automated decision-making directly affect financial outcomes, customer experience, and organisational accountability.
The Council exists to create practical, operator-to-operator conversations about how digital systems fail in the real world — and how those failures are detected, mitigated, and governed at scale.
Who the Council Serves
The Operational Risk Council serves senior operators who are accountable for the commercial and operational performance of large-scale digital systems.
Our community is made up of practitioners responsible for ensuring that identity, access, transactions, and automated decisions function reliably at scale — and that failure does not translate into revenue loss, abuse, regulatory exposure, or reputational damage.
Roles commonly represented include:
Heads of Identity and Access Operations
Fraud, Abuse, and Revenue Protection leaders
Transaction and Payments Risk owners
Digital Ticketing and Access Operations leads
Platform Integrity and Trust Operations managers
Operational Risk and Control owners
Members share responsibility for systems where:
access and entitlement decisions happen at scale
transactions must be trusted in real time
fraud and abuse are digitally enabled
automation carries direct financial impact
The Council is focused on operational ownership and commercial outcomes, not cybersecurity architecture or technology marketing.
How the Council Is Convened
The Operational Risk Council is operated by IOE Events Ltd, the forum operator behind Cyber Senate.
The Council has been established to address commercial and operational risk in large-scale digital systems, where identity, access, transactions, and automated decision-making directly affect revenue, accountability, and trust.
Drawing on over 25 years’ experience convening senior-level, peer-led forums, the Council applies a disciplined operating model focused on practical discussion, operational ownership, and real-world failure.
The Operational Risk Council is deliberately cross-sector and non-cyber in its framing, while benefiting from the same approach used to convene Cyber Senate’s operator-led communities.
