Welcome
Welcome to the inaugural edition of The RegRisk Solutions Navigator from RegRisk Legal Solutions. As regulatory demands intensify across AI, cloud, cyber, data, and resilience, this newsletter delivers strategic intelligence on what’s changing, why it matters, and how RegTech can help you stay ahead. In this issue, we spotlight the urgent need to embed digital integrity into your infrastructure and supplier risk frameworks. Next edition: a deep dive into MiFID III, CDM, and DRR’s role in reshaping the trade lifecycle.
🚨 Breaking News Bites
🧪 Digital Sovereignty Gets Real
Escalating trade tensions have quietly triggered a seismic shift in digital infrastructure requirements. European regulators are seizing this moment to accelerate digital sovereignty initiatives, effectively forcing rapid infrastructure changes that weren’t factored into technology roadmaps. Firms face complex vendor management challenges as they evaluate their entire digital supply chain against both technical and jurisdictional requirements
👉What this means: Prepare for new regulatory expectations on cloud dependency, data localization, and vendor controls to align with OpRes obligations ASAP.
⚡ Iberian Blackout Sparks OpRes Scrutiny
The Spain-Portugal power outage has become a powerful catalyst for operational resilience risk. Organisations are suddenly questioning their preparedness as they realise the lack of rigorous testing has created a false sense of security. Auditor findings will be worse than feared as regulators start imposing significant fines, triggering a surge in remediation work.
👉 Now’s the time to verify that your OpRes strategy links plans, controls, and people.
🏦 SREP Methodology Raises the Bar
The ECB’s updated Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) methodology for 2025-2027 is starting to hit home as boards face intensified scrutiny from regulators, insurers, and counterparties, shifting focus from IT security to enterprise-wide resilience.
👉 Firms must now treat OpRes and ICT risk as capital risks – on par with market and credit.
🔐 Digital Integrity Unlocked: Your RegTech Edge
The financial services industry stands on the cusp of a significant transformation, driven by escalating regulatory demands around technology, data, and operational resilience. High-profile incidents like CrowdStrike, UK IT failures, and the Spain power outage highlight systemic vulnerabilities, pushing institutions toward stronger safeguards and greater accountability.
Legacy systems and fragmented controls now risk severe consequences – higher capital requirements, competitive disadvantages, and outdated business models.

MiFID II Transaction Reporting Survey
Hard to believe it’s been over two decades — and yet MiFID II transaction reporting remains as relevant (and complex) as ever.
Following our recent roundtable dinner with First Derivative, where several important themes emerged, we’re launching a short market survey to explore the current challenges and industry sentiment around transaction reporting.
Call to action: The survey is live and is hosted in our LinkedIn groups. We’d love for you to take part — your insights will directly contribute to our upcoming paper and help drive the next phase of industry dialogue.
👉 Join the Reporting and MiFID LinkedIn Groups to take part in the survey.
