Automate against the newest EIOPA Outsourcing Guidelines with Brooklyn Solutions
Insurance and Pensions Providers are about to face the challenge of having to adhere to the guidelines set by European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority. This includes having substantial evidence that cloud service providers upholding critical / important functions or activities for the organisation are assessed and show compliance against the EIOPA’s 13 core guidelines.
The Challenges of EIOPA Compliance
The EIOPA regulations apply to “critical or important” cloud service providers, to prevent the potential risks of regulatory fragmentation amongst the organisation and its third-party suppliers. It is therefore in place to consider the principle of proportionality and the criticality or importance of intra-group outsourcing and sub-outsourcing activities to cloud service providers. These regulations consist of rigorous documentation requirements, evidence of compliance and assessment, and auditing activities that are substantial and thorough. Based on this, it requires insurance and pensions companies to retain a high level of resources, to demonstrate compliance. Failure to comply can result in reputational damage, as well as highly impacting sanctions and measures adopted across the organisation by Member States.
