Compliance for banks, insurers and investment firms
Central bank regulations, financial-centre rulebooks and European operational-resilience law, each set up with its requirements. Reporting deadlines run inside the incident workflow, and board reports use current data.
What the regulator expects
A bank, insurer or investment firm answers to several rules at once. These include the central bank's risk and technology-risk regulations, a financial-centre rulebook such as DFSA GEN 5.5 or ADGM GEN 3.5, and a data-protection law in each jurisdiction where it operates. In Europe, DORA also applies. Each expects board-approved governance and controls that operate between examinations. Each also expects incident notification within a fixed window and evidence produced on the day it is requested.
How xmodo helps
Each regulation set up in full
CBUAE, DFSA, ADGM, SAMA and DORA are set up with each of their requirements, owners, evidence and a calculated compliance status. Mapping between frameworks means a shared control is implemented once.
Reporting deadlines built in
DORA's four-hour initial notification, the DFSA's 72-hour material-incident report and the ADGM's breach window run as countdowns on the incident record. Each countdown starts from the time of awareness.
Board reports from current data
The risk and technology report that the board approves is calculated from the status of your controls and the risk register. It combines results across subsidiaries, branches and free-zone entities.
Frameworks for this sector
Each control you implement counts towards every framework listed here. When you add another framework, xmodo shows how much of it your existing controls already cover.
Frequently asked questions
We have entities in the DIFC, ADGM and on the mainland. Do we need three programmes?
No. You run one programme with three entities, each with its own scope. Each entity is assessed against the rules that apply to it, shares overlapping controls and reports separately. The group view combines compliance status while keeping each legal scope separate.
How do you handle incident reporting deadlines?
Each regulator's reporting deadline is set up for its regulation. When an incident is classified, the applicable deadlines start on the record and the owner is notified. The submission is filed against the incident as evidence. The timestamps show the regulator when each step happened.
Does an ISO 27001 certificate reduce the work?
Yes, substantially. The mapping between frameworks credits a certified ISMS against the technology and information-security parts of each regulation. The remaining work is specific to each regulator: governance approvals, notification steps and the documents each supervisor expects.
