FinTech firm launches Data and Compliance Summit

The event, which will take place virtually on March 23, focuses on the growing regulatory scrutiny of financial services firms’ data management practices.

There is now intensifying pressure to demonstrate control and oversight over data, particularly unstructured information which accounts for approximately 80% of firms’ entire data estates.

The free two-hour virtual event brings together data, risk and compliance leaders from around the world to share robust, future-proofed and business-critical insights and strategies across four key areas of risk mitigation, compliance & governance, data privacy and data protection.

Speakers include: Steve Green, Head of Central Data Services, Strategy & Competition, FCA, Fintan Byrne, Chief Compliance Officer, CurrencyFair, Simon Cole, CEO, Automated Intelligence, Jason Maude, Chief Technology Advocate, Starling Bank and Paul Hudson, Product Strategist at hivera.

Developed in Belfast, hivera is a platform that helps global financial services firms bring their regulatory risk under control.

Paul Hudson, Product Strategist at hivera said: “While most financial services firms will have a good handle on their structured data, this is only the tip of the iceberg as the most significant threats occur in unstructured data.

“Cognizant of this, regulators are taking a much more active role in policing firms’ data management practices. The Data and Compliance Virtual Summit, will provide attendees with practical, actionable advice from industry experts so they can help bring all of their data under control.”

In 2020, the FCA and Bank of England announced plans for data reforms across the UK financial services sector, with the FCA vowing to become a highly data-driven regulator.

Find out how some of the best in the industry are taking control of their entire data estates, the technologies they’re using and the strategies they’re applying.
