"Let technology support you, but maintain control yourself."

“In the past, we tracked the legal framework for different clients in an Excel file. However, the regulations changed so quickly that we had to constantly update the file. In our search for a digital solution, various options came up, but none were truly suitable. That’s why we started developing a tool ourselves. With Ruler, we could centrally solve a common issue that many clients faced.”

Who can use our tools?

For whom

Ruler is here for licensed financial organizations that are supervised by the AFM and/or DNB. But in addition to financial laws and regulations, Ruler can also help you keep track of the other legislation and regulations your organization has to comply with.

Ruler’s legal framework is defined per ‘profile’ (for example: bank, investment institution, pension provider, etc.). You choose the profile that suits your organization; this way you only see the information that is relevant to you.

Do you miss certain laws and regulations relevant to your organization? Per request, we can add laws, regulations and profiles. For more information, please contact us.

What sources does Ruler scrape?

Scope

In Ruler’s legal framework, you will find an overview of standards that your organization needs to meet. Ruler is primarily focused on international and national financial laws and regulations. In addition to following the formal sources of law (such as EU regulations, directives, laws, decisions, rules and guidance documents), we also follow the news from, among others:

  • (inter)national regulators (such as DNB, AFM, ESMA, EIOPA, etc.);
  • judgments (Supreme Court, courts, Kifid, etc.);
  • trade organisations (NVB, Association of Insurers, etc.); and
  • internet consultations.

Should a new source arise, we will add it to Ruler immediately.

Which publications do we alert?

Alerts

Ruler sends alerts about changes in financial supervisory laws and regulations that are relevant to your type of institution. These may include changes to both existing and future financial laws and regulations.

But what exactly do we mean by ‘important developments’? In short, we alert publications that:

  • directly relate to financial laws and regulations; and
  • have or will have a direct impact on supervised institutions in the financial sector.
How do we ensure the safety of your data?

Security

Ensuring the safety of your data is our priority. Ruler therefore makes maximum use of the security measures offered by Microsoft within the Azure Cloud platform. Measures that are in line with the requirements and wishes of the financial sector.
