Beyond Spreadsheets: Solving Regulatory Complexity Under DORA and Evolving SEC Cybersecurity Rules

The Challenge

Banks and financial institutions are facing an expanding, overlapping set of requirements — the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules, and more arriving every quarter. Compliance officers increasingly say the hard part isn't tracking each new rule. It's keeping compliance activity connected across legal, risk, operations, IT, cybersecurity, and audit, so a change in one framework doesn't get lost between departments.


In 2026, the compliance teams staying ahead are the ones that can answer four questions quickly: which risks matter most, which controls address them, who owns the work, and what evidence proves it was done.


The Existing Approach: What Most Banks Use Today

Most institutions still track regulatory obligations through spreadsheets or the static obligation library built into a legacy GRC module — updated manually whenever compliance staff catch a new rule or amendment.


That works well enough when regulatory change is slow. It breaks down once multiple overlapping frameworks update independently, because someone still has to notice each change, interpret it, and manually map it to the right policies, controls, and owners.

  • Manual regulatory scanning, often dependent on newsletters or individual staff awareness

  • Static obligation libraries refreshed in batches instead of continuously

  • Manual mapping of new requirements to existing policies and controls

  • Compliance activity siloed by department instead of connected end to end


How REDE's AI Solution Enhances the System

REDE layers AI-powered regulatory intelligence on top of a bank's existing GRC platform. Natural language processing continuously scans regulatory sources — DORA updates, SEC cybersecurity rules, and others — and automatically maps changes directly onto the existing control library.


Instead of waiting for the next manual review cycle to catch an update, compliance and risk owners get real-time flags showing exactly which policies, controls, and teams are affected — cutting the lag between a rule change and an organizational response.


  • Continuous, automated regulatory scanning layered onto the existing obligation library

  • Automatic mapping of new requirements to policies, controls, and owners

  • Real-time alerts routed to the right team, replacing periodic manual review

  • One connected view spanning legal, risk, IT, cybersecurity, and audit
