Why a professional Information Security standard Certification is important? Ask DataTracks

The regulatory arm of any business has always been the underdog. The integral role it plays in the smooth running of an organization, rarely leaps out of the book. However, it has enormous potential to help businesses build a culture of compliance, recognize growth opportunities, and save time and money relating to regulatory matters.

As with most other functions, this key facet of business has also seen technological advancement. Today, Regulatory Technology (RegTech) provides advanced solutions to the ever-increasing demands of compliance within the financial industry.

When it comes to the financial aspect of business, every element added is an investment. A RegTech partner would take care of Regulatory Reporting, Risk Management, Identity Management & Control, Compliance, and Transaction Monitoring. Basically, how an organization is presented to the authorities. An aspect that can make or break a business.

When it comes to choosing a partner or service provider for this sensitive and integral a role, how does a company decide who has the key competencies? How do they evaluate differences? How can they be assured that your personnel are skilled, capable and knowledgeable enough to take on the mammoth task of safeguarding their organization’s regulatory requirements?

This is where professional certifications from established certifying authorities come into play.  Independent certification bodies such as TÜV use standardized and transparent test procedures based on internationally stringent standards to determine whether each person or company holds the required knowledge and skill to complete critical tasks with accuracy and quality. If the skill can be objectively established, the certification body shall issue a final certificate.
