Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use this compliance readiness check?
This tool is designed for compliance officers, fund managers, CASP operators, legal counsel, and startup founders at firms regulated under EU financial legislation. It covers CASPs under MiCAR, AIFMs and UCITS ManCos under AIFMD II, financial entities under DORA, ESG funds under SFDR, and other EU-regulated entities. It is most useful for firms approaching a regulatory deadline or starting a new compliance programme.
What does the readiness score measure?
The score measures the maturity of your compliance foundations based on two key indicators: whether you have completed a formal gap analysis against your primary regulation, and whether you maintain a documented obligation register. These two factors are the strongest predictors of regulatory readiness. The score ranges from 0 to 70 and places your firm in one of three bands: Early Stage (0–24), Foundation Building (25–54), or Well Positioned (55–70).
What is a compliance gap analysis?
A gap analysis maps your current policies, controls, and processes against each specific requirement of the regulation — article by article — to identify what is missing or incomplete. It is the essential first step before implementing a compliance programme. For DORA, this means mapping your ICT risk management framework against Articles 5–44. For MiCAR, it means assessing your authorisation readiness against Articles 59–76. The result is a prioritised list of gaps that need to be closed.
What is an obligation register?
An obligation register (also called an obligation inventory) is a structured document listing every specific legal obligation that applies to your firm — identified at the article and paragraph level — with assigned ownership, implementation status, and linked evidence. It is the foundation of a compliance management system and a primary document requested during NCA supervisory reviews. Without one, it is very difficult to demonstrate systematic compliance.
Which EU financial regulations does this tool cover?
This assessment covers MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, EU 2023/1114), DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act, EU 2022/2554), AIFMD II (Directive 2024/927), SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, EU 2019/2088), MiFID II/MiFIR, PSD3/PSR, CRR III/CRD VI, and the EU AI Act. The platform covers 30+ EU financial regulations in total.
Does this assessment replace professional legal advice?
No. This is an orientation tool to help you understand where your compliance programme stands and what to prioritise. It does not constitute legal or regulatory advice. Regulatory compliance requires a detailed analysis of your specific business model, services, and jurisdictions by qualified professionals. Use the results as a starting point for internal planning or a discussion with your legal or compliance advisors.
