SWIFT Security requires a controlled environment, clear ownership, infrastructure hardening, access management, evidence preparation and periodic assessment. FORFIRM helps organizations prepare and maintain controls with an evidence-first approach.
Compliance View on AI Act
AI Governance Evidence
AI Act Readiness requires an inventory of AI Systems, risk classification, governance, documentation, control models and monitoring. FORFIRM helps organizations prepare evidence that can be reviewed, maintained and improved as AI adoption expands.
Compliance View on Reporting
EMIR REFIT and FinMIA / FMIA as Reporting Control
Regulatory Reporting requires Data Quality, Validation, Reconciliation, Ownership and remediation. Compliance teams need evidence that reporting controls are operating effectively and that issues are managed through a governed remediation process.
