Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Financial Services Compliance
DORA compliance deadline is January 17, 2025. This covers ICT risk management, incident reporting, digital operational resilience testing, and third-party ICT risk management. We recommend starting implementation at least 12 months before the deadline.
NIS2 affects credit institutions, payment institutions, electronic money institutions, investment firms, crypto-asset service providers, central securities depositories, and trading venues. The directive applies to medium and large entities based on employee count and annual revenue.
Switzerland's neutral jurisdiction provides regulatory stability, strong data protection laws, and international recognition. Swiss-based compliance frameworks are often accepted globally and provide competitive advantages in cross-border operations.
Implementation timelines vary: DORA typically takes 8-12 months, NIS2 takes 6-9 months, Basel III is ongoing, and MiFID II requires 4-6 months for updates. We provide detailed project plans with specific milestones.
We map regulatory overlaps and design unified frameworks that address multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. This reduces complexity and ensures comprehensive compliance across all applicable regulations and markets.
DORA fines can reach €1M or 1% of annual turnover. NIS2 penalties go up to €10M or 2% of annual revenue. Beyond fines, reputational damage and operational disruption costs can be significantly higher.
We use phased implementation approaches, parallel systems testing, and comprehensive business continuity planning. Our methodology ensures minimal disruption to operations while achieving compliance objectives.
We provide continuous monitoring, regulatory updates, annual compliance reviews, incident response support, and framework optimization. Our clients receive ongoing guidance to maintain compliance excellence.
