Our Competencies in Regulatory Compliance Management

Choose the area that fits your requirements

BAIT Business Continuity

German banks must maintain a complete IT contingency plan under BAIT Chapter 9 � from business impact analysis and defined RTO/RPO targets to annual emergency drills. With the DORA transition effective from 2025, requirements intensify further: shorter incident reporting deadlines, stricter ICT risk management and EU-wide harmonisation. We help you build a BAIT-compliant IT Service Continuity Management (ITSCM) framework that integrates seamlessly into your broader BCM under MaRisk AT 7.3 � while ensuring DORA readiness.

BAIT Change Management

BAIT Chapter 7 mandates structured IT change processes with segregation of duties, dual-control principle, and comprehensive documentation. Every change to production IT systems must follow a defined change process including risk analysis, impact assessment, testing procedures, and formal approval workflows. With the DORA transition from 2025, ICT change management requirements become even more stringent. We support banks and financial institutions in establishing and optimizing BAIT-compliant change processes — from gap analysis through process design to audit-proof documentation and DORA readiness.

BAIT DORA Alignment

With DORA taking direct effect on 17 January 2025, DORA-obligated institutions begin the phased transition from BAIT to DORA. BAIT will be fully repealed by 31 December 2026. We guide your institution through this transition with systematic gap analysis: BAIT chapters are mapped article-by-article against DORA requirements, overlaps in ICT risk management, information security and outsourcing control are identified, and DORA-specific additions � particularly TLPT resilience testing, ICT third-party registers and tightened incident reporting deadlines � are targeted. The result: an integrated compliance roadmap that avoids duplicate work and maximises BAIT investment credit toward DORA.

BAIT IT Operations

BAIT Chapter 8 defines binding IT operations requirements for banks � from data backup and patch management to IT monitoring and capacity planning. From 2025, DORA adds digital operational resilience requirements. We help banks design compliant IT operations: build IT asset inventories, optimize backup processes, establish monitoring structures, and prepare the transition to DORA ICT operations.

BAIT IT Risk Management

We develop tailored BAIT IT Risk Management solutions that not only ensure regulatory compliance but also identify strategic IT security opportunities and create sustainable resilience for banking institutions.

BAIT Incident Management

BAIT mandates structured incident management with defined escalation levels, response times, and BaFin reporting obligations. With the DORA transition from 2025, requirements for IT incident management, ICT incident classification, and regulatory reporting are tightening significantly. We support financial institutions in designing and implementing BAIT-compliant incident management frameworks that transition seamlessly into DORA requirements � from incident detection through crisis response to regulatory reporting.

BAIT Outsourcing Cloud

Banks must ensure regulatory compliance for IT outsourcing under BAIT Chapter 9 and MaRisk AT 9 — from materiality assessments and BaFin outsourcing notifications to cloud governance frameworks. We support financial institutions in the structured implementation of all requirements: risk analysis, contract design with audit rights, exit strategies for cloud services, and comprehensive monitoring of sub-outsourcing chains. With experience from over 50 outsourcing projects, we guide the entire process — including DORA transition planning through 2027.
