XAIT consulting: solutions for VAIT, BAIT, KAIT, ZAIT

XAIT counselling:
Solutions for VAIT, BAIT, KAIT, ZAIT

The digital transformation brings new risks for the insurance and financial sector, especially in the IT area with regard to security and compliance. The fulfilment of regulatory requirements such as VAIT, BAIT, KAIT and ZAIT is crucial for insurance companies, banks, capital management companies and payment service providers in order to avoid penalties and maintain trust. Alexander Thamm GmbH supports you in fulfilling these complex requirements and making your IT systems secure and compliant. Our expertise in data management, AI and IT governance makes it possible to meet the challenges of XAIT regulations and strengthen digital resilience.

BaFin audit? Requirements for XAIT

With VAIT, BAIT, KAIT and ZAIT, the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has introduced regulations for digital security and governance in the German financial and insurance sector to strengthen IT systems against digitalisation risks.

DORA Audit & Consulting

Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) - Audit & Consulting

The financial sector is becoming more digital. However, the associated risks must not be ignored. IT disruptions can affect all financial organisations and therefore pose a threat to the resilience and trustworthiness of companies and entire sectors. Alexander Thamm GmbH supports you in protecting your company and complying with the regulatory requirements associated with DORA.

DORA - Information security for financial organisations

With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the EU has created a sector-wide regulation for financial companies of all kinds for the topics of cyber security, risks in the area of information and communication technologies (ICT) and digital operational resilience. The new regulation makes a significant contribution to strengthening the European financial market against ICT incidents and cyber risks. To this end, DORA not only imposes regulatory obligations on financial companies, but for the first time also on ICT third-party service providers themselves.

DORA will apply from 17 January 2025 and is intended to strengthen the digital resilience of the entire European financial market through the following six key topics:

  • NICT risk management
  • NReporting of ICT incidents and significant cyber threats
  • NTesting digital operational resilience including threat-led penetration testing
  • NICT third party management
  • NEuropean monitoring framework for critical ICT third-party service providers
  • NExchange of information between financial organisations

Our DORA audit and counselling services

Gap analysis

The environment and company analysis focuses on DORA and other regulatory requirements. This involves identifying strategic, regulatory and operational gaps.

Design specifications

Governance principles are being introduced to establish guidelines and specifications, such as an exit strategy, emergency management and risk assessment, to implement DORA and other regulatory requirements.

Introduction of new IT products

Support in the selection of technology and assistance in the implementation of IT products promote the fulfilment of documentation requirements.

Conformity testing of IT products

The analysis of IT products with regard to weaknesses and defects leads to a test report and catalogue of measures to eliminate these weaknesses and defects, including the fulfilment of documentation requirements.

Modification (of IT products)

Support in the implementation of the catalogue of measures and the associated fulfilment of documentation requirements.
