MaRisk BTR 4: Structured Operational Risk Management

MaRisk BTR 4 requires banks to systematically manage operational risks: risk identification and assessment (RCSA), loss data collection, scenario analyses, and appropriate OR governance. We support you in designing and implementing a complete OR framework — from methodology to IT integration — while accounting for interactions with DORA (operational resilience), CRR (capital requirements), and the internal control system.

Our operational risk management service accompanies you from risk identification through assessment to the implementation of effective control measures and continuous monitoring. We develop tailored systems that address your specific operational risks, meet MaRisk requirements, and create sustainable operational risk excellence.
