Program Overview: What is APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management Compliance?
APRA CPS 230 sets the bar for how regulated entities manage operational risk. This program helps your team understand the standard's obligations and build the skills to meet them: mapping critical operations, setting tolerance levels, planning for disruption, overseeing service providers, and testing controls. It builds capability your auditors can see.
Through instructor-led sessions and guided labs, employees enhance their day-to-day risk practices and upskill at the pace their roles demand. The focus stays on your training needs: your entities, your providers, your registers. Teamwork improves as risk, compliance, audit, and operations staff practice the same workflows and share one language for operational resilience.
Participants work with realistic material drawn from regulated environments: incident timelines, provider registers, tolerance dashboards, and control test plans. Day-to-day work becomes the classroom, so the framework your team builds in the program maps directly onto the one it runs back at the office.
The program closes with a capstone readiness review. Your team leaves with a working draft of its CPS 230 evidence pack: mapped operations, tolerance measures, provider registers, and a control testing cadence.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team will leave able to run CPS 230 compliance in practice: interpreting obligations, designing frameworks, mapping operations, and proving controls, with competency built through guided labs.
Interpret CPS 230 obligations
Read the standard's clauses and map each obligation to the team, register, or control that owns it.
Design risk frameworks
Draft governance structures, risk appetite statements, and policy hierarchies that hold up under scrutiny.
Map critical operations
Identify critical operations, trace dependencies across people, processes, technology, and providers, and keep the register current.
Set tolerance levels
Define measurable tolerance levels with thresholds and breach actions, then link them to continuity plans and monitoring.
Oversee service providers
Classify material providers, run due diligence, write contractual controls, and monitor fourth-party risk.
Test controls
Design control tests, schedule them across the year, and track results with indicators your board can read.
Report incidents
Classify operational incidents and prepare clear, timely notifications and board reporting packs.
Teams that Benefit from this APRA CPS 230 Operational Risk Management Compliance Group Training
Risk, compliance, audit, and operations groups share CPS 230 ownership. The program builds one shared capability across the workforce, with examples and labs adapted to each cohort's roles and experience, so every group practices the workflows it owns.
Turn CPS 230 text into a working risk framework
For the teams that own the framework end to end. They leave with a draft framework, a critical operations register, and tolerance measures ready for board review.
Workflow friction
- Framework documents that read well but do not operate
- Tolerance levels set without measurable thresholds
- Registers that drift out of date between reviews
How the program helps
- A framework mapped clause by clause to CPS 230
- Tolerance measures with clear breach actions
- Registers and plans that survive audit scrutiny
Practice use cases
- Register builds
- Tolerance calibration
- Control test plans
- Gap analysis
Prove every obligation is owned and evidenced
For compliance professionals who attest to CPS 230 readiness. They practice mapping obligations to controls and assembling the evidence pack regulators expect.
Workflow friction
- Obligations scattered across teams with no clear owner
- Evidence gathered in a rush before reviews
- Changing requirements that outpace documentation
How the program helps
- Obligation-to-control mapping your team can defend
- An evidence pack built during the program
- A reporting cadence that stays current
Practice use cases
- Obligation mapping
- Evidence packs
- Regulatory reporting
- Policy reviews
Audit operational risk with sharper test plans
For auditors who test the framework's design and effectiveness. They learn what good looks like under CPS 230 and how to challenge it.
Workflow friction
- Audit programs that miss tolerance-level testing
- Findings that do not translate into remediation
- Limited benchmarks for CPS 230 maturity
How the program helps
- Test plans aligned to CPS 230 obligations
- Clear criteria for control effectiveness
- Findings linked to remediation roadmaps
Practice use cases
- Control testing
- Maturity reviews
- Finding write-ups
- Remediation tracking
Strengthen contracts and continuity together
For legal and operations teams who manage providers and recovery. They practice contractual controls, fourth-party oversight, and disruption playbooks.
Workflow friction
- Provider contracts missing APRA-required clauses
- Continuity plans disconnected from tolerance levels
- Fourth-party risks nobody monitors
How the program helps
- Contract checklists with APRA access rights
- Playbooks tied to tolerance thresholds
- Provider registers with monitoring cadence
Practice use cases
- Contract reviews
- Provider due diligence
- Disruption playbooks
Each cohort works through role-relevant labs and leaves with reusable templates for registers, tolerance measures, and reporting.
Prerequisites: Risk, compliance, audit, and operations professionals get the most from this program. Familiarity with operational risk concepts or financial services regulation helps but is not required. No prior CPS 230 experience is needed. Each cohort's examples and labs adapt to the tools, providers, and processes the team actually uses.
From CPS 230 Awareness to Audit-Ready Operational Risk Practice
Learners begin with CPS 230 foundations, key definitions, and framework design, establishing who owns each obligation. Practice modules then map critical operations, set tolerance levels, plan continuity, and oversee providers. Applied modules test controls, report incidents, and close with a capstone readiness pack.
Teams build framework design, tolerance setting, provider oversight, and control testing skills so CPS 230 obligations stay owned and evidenced.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.

Translate CPS 230 Requirements into Practical Operational Risk Readiness
Our CPS 230 training connects regulatory interpretation with the operational documents teams need to examine. Participants map critical operations, define tolerance measures, rehearse disruption responses, and assess service providers. A readiness pack brings governance, controls, and reporting together for instructor review, with gaps identified rather than claims of assured compliance.
- Step 01
Consult
We discuss your entity’s functions, risk ownership, and existing continuity practices to identify learning priorities in critical operations, tolerances, and service-provider oversight.
- Step 02
Plan
We work from the standard’s scope and governance framework through critical operations, continuity planning, provider risk, and control testing before the readiness review.
- Step 03
Align
We connect risk, audit, compliance, and operations perspectives, calibrating regulatory explanations to the cohort’s experience and keeping decisions tied to documented responsibilities.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample operations registers, provider assessments, and breach scenarios to your operating model, distinguishing training drafts from documents requiring organizational approval.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants develop tolerance measures, rehearse a disruption playbook, and prepare control-test and notification materials with feedback on consistency, ownership, and supporting evidence.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the readiness pack for traceable requirements, usable tolerance measures, coherent response actions, provider oversight, and clearly documented gaps needing further work.
