From Chaos to Compliance: The Low-Code Answer
Regulatory compliance is a pressing challenge for financial institutions navigating Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and other evolving mandates. Designed to strengthen IT security and resilience across the financial sector, DORA mandates stringent controls over third-party risks, incident reporting, and operational continuity. Traditional reliance on Microsoft Excel-driven workflows introduces security vulnerabilities, operational inefficiencies, and compliance gaps that demand a more robust, future-proof approach.
Why Legacy Approaches Fall Short
Microsoft Excel has long been the go-to tool for financial modeling, forecasting, and portfolio management. While flexible and familiar, it wasn’t designed for enterprise-grade security, traceability, or governance, leading to manual oversight, inconsistent data handling, and regulatory exposure.
Financial institutions attempting to layer manual controls onto these processes often find themselves stuck in costly, inefficient workflows that are prone to human error and compliance risks. A fundamental shift is needed to meet modern regulatory standards while maintaining business agility.
