Market abuse regulation solutions
A Complete Framework for Continuous Market Abuse Assurance
MAR360 Market Abuse Assurance Full Coverage
Most firms approach market abuse in pieces.
They buy surveillance technology. They write a Market Abuse Risk Assessment once a year. They run some training when regulation changes. They call consultants when regulators ask difficult questions.
Individually, each action is correct. Collectively, they fail. Because regulators do not assess whether you have tools. They assess whether you understand and manage your risk appropriately.
Market Abuse Risk Monitoring is not a single system or document. It is a continuous process of identifying, exposure, observing behaviour, documenting reasoning and improving controls.
Instead of providing software alone, MAR360 provides a complete framework that allows firms to understand, monitor and demonstrate control over market abuse risk on an ongoing basis.
Why Traditional Market Abuse Risk Monitoring Approaches Struggle
Most compliance programmes break down at the connection points.
Trade surveillance identifies alerts but not root causes. Communications monitoring captures conversations but lacks context. Risk assessments describe exposure, but they don’t stay current. Training explains rules but does not influence behaviour.
Each function works in isolation.
The result is predictable: During regulatory review, firms reconstruct a narrative from disconnected evidence.
Market Abuse Assurance should work in reverse. You should operate with a continuous supervisory narrative that already exists before questions are asked. That is the foundation of MAR360.
The MAR360 Holistic Approach
MAR360 combines technology, expertise and operational governance into a single Market Abuse Risk Monitoring environment.
Behavioural Surveillance
Market abuse is behavioural before it is transactional. MAR360 provides integrated communications and trade surveillance to detect patterns of conduct rather than isolated events.
Firms can:
-
identify intent earlier
-
reduce false positives
-
investigate consistently
-
evidence decisions clearly
Ensuring your surveillance is preventative by design.
Software-Driven Market Abuse Risk Assessment
Most Market Abuse Risk Assessments are static documents. They reflect how the business looked when written, not how it operates today.
MAR360 developed the first software-based Market Abuse Risk and Control Assessment framework designed to continuously map:
-
business activities
-
risk exposure
-
control effectiveness
-
residual risk
Instead of refreshing a document annually, firms maintain a living view of exposure. This allows management to understand risk before it materialises and regulators to see structured oversight.
Independent MARA Review
Regulators expect firms to periodically validate their Market Abuse Risk Assessment independently.
MAR360 provides third-party MARA review as part of the framework, ensuring firms do not simply mark their own homework.
The outcome is confidence that the risk assessment is:
-
accurate
-
defensible
-
aligned to real behaviour
Annual review becomes validation rather than discovery.
Regulatory Expertise
Technology detects activity. Experience interprets it.
MAR360 is supported by a team of subject matter experts, by former regulators with over 30 years of regulatory experience.
Firms gain guidance on:
-
control design
-
escalation decisions
-
risk acceptance
-
regulatory expectations
This ensures supervision aligns with how regulators actually assess firms, not how firms assume they do.
Structured Training & Competency
Training is not optional in Market Abuse Risk Monitoring and Prevention. Regulators expect firms to demonstrate staff understanding and competency as part of risk management.
MAR360 provides structured and scenario-based training programmes designed to:
-
increase awareness
-
support front office decision making
-
reduce behavioural risk
-
evidence competency
Training becomes part of the control framework rather than a periodic obligation.
A Value Stack Built for Ongoing Supervision
The strength of MAR360 comes from combining all components into one operating model.
Instead of managing separate obligations, firms operate with a continuous Market Abuse Risk Monitoring cycle.
This produces measurable outcomes:
-
Clearer escalation decisions
-
Reduced investigtion time
-
Consistent documentation
-
Defensible oversight
-
Greater management confidence
The firm does not prepare for supervision. The firm operates in a supervised state.
Market Abuse Risk Solutions built for your firm type
Different firms face different challenges.
Small firms need clarity without overhead. Medium firms need structure across growing activity. Large firms need consistency across complex operations.
The MAR360 framework scales because the principles of Market Abuse Risk Monitoring remain constant:
-
Understand risk
-
Observe behaviour
-
Document decisions
-
Demonstrate control
What changes is the depth of implementation. MAR360 scales to meet your firm where it operates
Supervision That Exists Before It Is Requested
Market Abuse Risk Monitoring is not about responding effectively when regulators ask questions.
It is about operating in a way where the answers already exist.
MAR360 combines surveillance technology, software-based risk assessment, regulatory expertise, independent validation and structured training into a single supervisory framework.
You are not assembling evidence under pressure. Control is already demonstrated.
