Regulatory Certification Framework™​

The Global Standard for Regulatory Certification

Regulatory compliance demands more than governance and documentation, it demands formal certification. Our Regulatory Certification Framework (RCF) enables institutions to certify adherence to regulatory expectations across governance, data, reports and model risk obligations and controls.

Whether you're preparing for OCC Heightened Standards, BSA/AML compliance, or internal audit readiness, RCF delivers a repeatable, defensible, and certifiable model of compliance assurance.

Inventory & Certification FAQs

What are the benefits of having an critical data asset inventory?

Inventorying doesn’t have to be painful. We identify what's critical and speed up the process by pre-populating based on regulatory agencies & requirements, common use cases, and risk levels.

Do I need to inventory my all critical assets?

It is highly recommended, especially within medium to large organizations but we usually start with 1 asset type and even apply our tiering methodology to further prioritize and accelerate the process.

Lacking visibility into Tier 1, high risk assets exposes companies to legal, financial, reputational, and operational risks.

 

Why do organizations need to certify their assets?

To build and maintain trust with their customers, internal staff and regulatory obligations.

Certifications also ensure organizations know where to prioritize their  efforts, beginning with high risk assets and use cases.

 

How do you conduct certifications and risk assessments?

ACF’s comprehensive framework assesses critical assets against a backdrop of active regulatory requirements and legislation, considering the data assets quality and use case to pinpoint compliance and risk management needs.
