Trade surveillance controls and monitoring utility

This offering supports Swiss and global institutions in modernising surveillance controls across listed, OTC, and cross-venue activity with practical governance and implementation discipline.

Delivery package

Modules, examples, and booking path

Session 1 — Assess current state

Baseline surveillance maturity across data quality, alert logic, case governance, and ownership.

Session 2 — Define target utility

Design a practical utility model for scalable monitoring, transparent controls, and regulator-ready reporting.

Session 3 — Deliver in phases

Build a phased roadmap balancing false-positive reduction, operational efficiency, and risk coverage uplift.

3-session workshop

Strengthen surveillance coverage, alert quality, and control transparency across increasingly complex trading behaviours.

  • Assess current detection models, workflows, and escalation governance across key products and markets.
  • Define a pragmatic utility blueprint for data, model operations, and case-management standardisation.
  • Prioritise a measurable roadmap balancing compliance confidence, false-positive reduction, and operating efficiency.

Illustrative application contexts

  • Swiss universal bank scenario (UBS, Zürcher Kantonalbank, PostFinance, other): surveillance workflow redesign for cross-asset monitoring and escalation quality.
  • Cantonal bank scenario (Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, Basler Kantonalbank, Luzerner Kantonalbank, other): practical utility blueprint with alert triage standards and KPI baseline.
  • Market participant scenario (Swissquote, SIX, Julius Baer, other): model governance and case-management harmonization across entities.
