LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Zeidler Group, a leading provider of RegTech, LegalTech, and fund solutions, proudly unveils the latest enhancement of its flagship due diligence platform, Zeidler Due Diligence (ZDD). The enhanced platform integrates AI-powered capabilities and a ‘Self-Service Model’, designed to provide investment management firms with greater control and flexibility while addressing global regulatory requirements. The platform assists firms in meeting critical compliance and distribution oversight mandates, including:

EU Compliance:
-Central Bank of Ireland’s CP86 Framework: Supporting fund management companies in fulfilling their Distribution Oversight Function by aiding with the approval of distribution strategies, delegate oversight, regular reporting, compliance monitoring, and due diligence on distributors and intermediaries.
-CSSF Circular 18/698 (Luxembourg): Ensuring investment fund managers meet governance, substance, and anti-money laundering requirements through enhanced oversight and resource management.

US Compliance:
-Investment Advisers Act of 1940: Enabling due diligence on vendors to fulfil fiduciary duties, comply with SEC regulations, and implement robust risk management and oversight measures.
-SEC Guidance and Regulations: SEC emphasises vendor oversight and risk management, particularly in cybersecurity.
-Privacy and Cybersecurity Regulations: Laws like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) require safeguards to protect client data, making vendor assessments critical.
-Risk Management Requirements: Comprehensive vendor management mitigates operational and compliance risks.
-Business Continuity Plans: The SEC expects that firms’ Rule 206(4)-7 procedures have robust frameworks for ensuring service continuity during vendor disruptions.

These latest capabilities in the enhanced ZDD platform allow firms to maintain compliance with global standards while efficiently managing their distribution networks and vendor relationships.

• Task Management and Monitoring: Simplify workflow with features for assigning tasks, tracking updates, and setting automated reminders.
• Comprehensive Reporting and Dashboard Insights: Access detailed risk evaluations, download reports in multiple formats, and visualise key metrics through an intuitive interface.
