MiFID

Global solution for borderless consumer protection

Europe’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) standardizes IT security to protect consumer information across borders. Investment firms in the European Union operate under a “single passport” that ensures unvarying levels of security between all member states. This requires stringent change management measures for IT security, compliance and disclosure.


Tripwire provides effective IT control to safeguard arrangements for information processing systems from external exploits and internal misconduct and ensure continuity and regularity of service.

Tripwire delivers a comprehensive solution by:

  • Detecting changes or unauthorized activity in systems or processes that support the continuity and regularity of service.
  • Supporting effective system disruption contingency arrangements by enabling the regulated market or MTF to detect changes that could cause disruptions, and then enabling the entity to roll back the disrupted systems to the last known compliant state.
  • Enabling regulated entities to comply with other operational and organizational requirements like the “non-discretionary” and timely finalization of trade requirements.
  • Reporting to regulators any transactions detected by their system monitoring activities that indicate breaches of rules, disorderly trading conditions or market abuse.
