Cloud-Based SaaS For PRA Compliance
Brooklyn Solutions is here to help your business avoid the cost of non-compliance to ever-changing requirements from governing entities and regulatory bodies. Built on ensuring businesses stay ahead, Brooklyn assists customers to meet regulations and iteratively increase the effectiveness in which they do.
What is PRA SS2/21?
PRA stands for the Prudential Regulation Authority.
In March of 2021, the PRA released its interpretation of the EBA (European Banking Authority)’s outsourcing regulation guidelines entitled: The Supervisory Statement or SS2/21 which will come into effect as of the 31st of March 2022 (due to COVID-19 delays).
SS2/21 guidelines aim to strengthen the framework for outsourcing and third-party risk management by:
- Implementing the EBA’s ‘Guidelines on outsourcing arrangements.
- Facilitating greater resilience and adoption of the cloud and other new technologies.
What Is The Problem?
It is an ongoing challenge to achieve, maintain, and demonstrate regulatory compliance and consequently, there is an ever growing necessity to present substantial evidence of this. Leaving legal and compliance teams with the large burden of ensuring requirements are met.
These regulatory changes are relevant and will affect all:
- UK banks, building societies, and PRA-designated investment firms
- Insurance and reinsurance firms and groups in scope of Solvency II, (including the Society of Lloyd’s and managing agents)
- UK branches of overseas banks and insurers
- Furthermore, failure to comply with regulations can result in financial or criminal penalties!
