Episode 5: Don't compromise on data security

In securitisation, data is everything and protecting it is non-negotiable.

When companies enter an ABS programme, they share sensitive financial and operational data with third parties. The quality of that data is crucial, but so is how it's handled, stored, and safeguarded throughout the process.

In Episode 5 of BearingPoint's ABS Expert Talk, Timo Menzel and Marc von Scheliha take on one of the most critical, yet often underestimated aspects of securitisation: data security and data protection.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why data protection must be at the heart of every ABS programme, not an afterthought
• The growing regulatory landscape shaping how data is processed and secured, including CRD4/CRR, EBA guidelines, GDPR, and DORA
• How BearingPoint ensures compliance through the strict need-to-know principle, ISO certifications, subcontractor monitoring, and business continuity management
• Proactive cybersecurity measures such as regular penetration tests, vulnerability scans, and participation in outsourcing committees
• Why choosing the right service partner matters, and how a lack of capacity or compliance can expose your organisation to significant risk
