Operational Resilience That Stands Up to APRA Scrutiny
CPS 230 – Operational Risk Management introduces a fundamental shift in regulatory expectations. Organisations must now demonstrate that critical operations can continue through severe but plausible disruptions not just that policies and controls exist.
BTECHNO helps organisations design, implement, and operationalise CPS 230 across cyber security, identity, cloud platforms, and third-party services delivering resilience that is measurable, defensible, and regulator-ready.
What CPS 230 Means for Your Organisation
CPS 230 requires APRA-regulated entities to:
- Identify critical operations
- Define impact tolerances
- Understand and manage end-to-end dependencies
- Test resilience against severe but plausible scenarios
- Strengthen oversight of service providers and suppliers
- Provide clear, ongoing assurance to Boards and APRA
Who CPS 230 Applies To
Mandatory For
- Banks and authorised deposit-taking institutions
- Insurers and reinsurers
- Superannuation trustees
- Other APRA-regulated entities
- Critical service providers to APRA-regulated entities
- Cloud, technology, and managed service providers
- Vendors supporting critical financial operations

How CPS 234 Fits Into CPS 230
CPS 234 (Information Security) remains critical — but under CPS 230 it is an enabler, not a standalone objective.
We ensure CPS 234 controls:
- Directly support critical operations
- Align with impact tolerances and recovery objectives
- Provide meaningful assurance of cyber resilience
- Feed into scenario testing and operational risk reporting
