Navigating Business Disruption in the UK
How prepared is your organisation for the interconnected risk landscape?
Disruption is rarely a contained event. Operational shocks can extend rapidly across technology, supply chains and customer networks. Despite this, Aon data highlights a significant gap in preparedness. Only 16% of UK organisations currently quantify their business interruption (BI) exposure, and even fewer have a clear view of their cyber or supply chain risk.
-
27.3%
of UK organisations have suffered a BI loss, but only 16% have quantified their BI exposure.
-
30.8%
have suffered a supply chain/distribution loss, yet just 12.4% have quantified their supply chain exposure.
-
95.8%
have a cyber plan or formal review, yet only 13.1% have quantified their cyber exposure.
These figures highlight a clear resilience gap: many organisations have plans in place, but far fewer have the quantified insight needed to help prioritise investment, structure insurance programmes and plan for prolonged disruption in today’s new risk reality.
