(10)As evidenced through the experience gathered in the TIBER-EU framework with respect to the ‘control team’, the selection of an adequate control team lead is indispensable for the safe conduct of TLPT. The control team lead should have the necessary mandate within the financial entity to guide all the aspects of the testing, without compromising its confidentiality. For the same reason, members of the control team should have a deep knowledge of the financial entity, of the control team lead’s job role and strategic positioning, should have the required seniority and should have access to the management board. To reduce the risk of compromising the TLPT, the control team should be as small as possible.
