Cyber and resilience advice for banking leaders.
Poro Advisory advises bank boards, senior executives, smaller regulated institutions and central banks/supervisors on cyber risk, operational resilience, governance and emerging technology. Independent challenge, clearer decisions and evidence that stands up to scrutiny.
What we do
Resilience is a leadership responsibility.
Our focus is the leadership and oversight of cyber and operational risk in financial services. Experience at the Bank of England and HSBC, alongside defence and operational leadership, informs advice on essential banking services, critical dependencies and the evidence boards and supervisors need. The starting point is the decision leaders must make, not a catalogue of technical services.
