Significant cost reductions
Boerse Stuttgart Group is the sixth-largest exchange group in Europe, with locations in Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland. In capital markets, it is a leading player in structured products and bond trading. With Boerse Stuttgart Digital, it operates the largest crypto and digital business among European exchange groups, providing regulated trading solutions for institutional and retail investors.
Challenge
Boerse Stuttgart Group had to review and update over 100 contracts across multiple service providers under tight DORA compliance deadlines. The traditional manual process was slow and resource-heavy, making it nearly impossible to keep up with the volume using the team’s limited resources while ensuring consistency across all agreements.
Time-intensive process
Reviewing each contract manually took time, on average, three hours per audit across over 100 contracts. Given the volume, this made the whole process lengthy and required a structured approach to keep up with the tight compliance timeline.
Individual contract reviews required
Many service providers require adjustments and additions to their contracts, with some proposing their own DORA annexes. Each of these changes must be reviewed for compliance, making the process resource-intensive and time-consuming.
Regulatory and operational risk
Failing to comply with DORA would have exposed Boerse Stuttgart Group to regulatory, operational, and reputational risks. Staying ahead of these challenges therefore was key to avoiding disruptions and ensuring smooth operations.
