FourthLine is a Manchester-based operational resilience consultancy serving mid-tier UK financial services firms regulated by the FCA and PRA. It focuses on delivering senior practitioner-led work on-site to help regulated firms meet board- and regulator-facing evidencing standards without bearing the cost of large consultancies. Its core offerings include an Operational Resilience Diagnostic Assessment that benchmarks against PRA SS1/21, FCA SYSC 15A, and DORA, typically completed in four to six weeks; an Annual Resilience Retainer providing quarterly scenario testing and regulatory evidence management; and a Full Programme Delivery spanning BCM, Third-Party Risk Management, ICT Disaster Recovery, and Cyber Resilience. The firm has a track record with mid-tier insurers, a private bank, a challenger bank, an investment platform, an asset manager, and a wealth management platform, delivering regulator-ready evidence and resilience frameworks tailored to mid-tier needs. In July 2023, FourthLine announced a partnership with Corporater to expand its governance, risk, and compliance capabilities.
