Supervisory Priorities
The applicable perimeter depends on entity type, licence and sector. These priorities provide a practical starting point for programme design and evidence management.
Regulatory Alignment
Official-source and product-fit review completed 1 September 2026.
The platform directly manages a central process or evidence set described in the requirement.
The platform contributes linked evidence, oversight or follow-up but is not the main system for the requirement.
A weak or unsubstantiated product relationship is intentionally omitted.

This mapping is an implementation aid, not legal advice. It describes configurable workflow and evidence support, not automatic compliance. Always validate applicability, current versions, implementation dates and supervisory expectations with qualified advisers and the relevant authority.
The mapping uses the capabilities documented in the current brochures. It does not extend the platforms beyond their stated functional scope.
Best suited to enterprise risk ownership, risk and control registers, assessments, appetite and tolerances, KRIs, treatments, approvals, dashboards and board reporting.
Best suited to the audit universe, risk-based planning, engagement execution, RCM-linked design and effectiveness testing, evidence, findings, approvals and follow-up.
Best suited to incident intake, triage, investigation, root-cause analysis, escalation, notifications, corrective and preventive actions, closure and lessons learned.
