The digital transformation brings new risks for the insurance and financial sector, especially in the IT area with regard to security and compliance.

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. These requirements are intended to increase the resilience of insurance companies, banks, capital management companies and payment service providers against cyber attacks and IT disruptions in order to safeguard integrity and trust in the financial market.
The XAIT regulations require strict measures for IT governance, documentation, security and monitoring of IT systems to ensure digital resilience. Companies must regularly review and adapt these systems to cope with changing risks. The challenge is to fulfil the extensive requirements without compromising operations or the ability to innovate. A lack of expertise, resources or inadequate documentation and governance can make compliance more difficult, which harbours legal and reputational risks.
These milestones mark the beginning of a new era in IT governance and security for financial institutions, while at the same time providing:
- NImplementation of regulatory requirements
- NRisk minimisation through analysis and direct adjustment
- NProactive risk control and management
- NOptimisation of security-relevant processes
- NProtection of critical financial infrastructures
- NPromotion of your competitive strength
