Landytech elevates security standards with ISO 27001 certification

Landytech, the leading European investment management platform, is proud to announce that it has recently been awarded ISO 27001 certification, an accreditation that reinforces its ongoing commitment to the highest standards of information security.  

The ISO 27001 certification is internationally recognised and reflects Landytech’s commitment to maintaining rigorous information security standards. For Landytech, achieving this certification was a demanding process, involving a comprehensive and challenging audit that scrutinised every facet of its operations, from personnel to processes and technology. This certification is particularly timely given the current climate of heightened cybersecurity concerns across the investment management sector. It also sets Landytech apart as one of the few investment management platform providers to achieve such a standard, ensuring that it remains one of the most secure platforms in the industry. 

Landytech’s CEO and Founder, Benjamin Mouté, emphasised the importance of information security to the company, stating, “We have always invested heavily in IT security and it was crucial for our client base of asset owners, managers and advisors to have our efforts validated through a highly respected accreditation.” He added, “This achievement is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication to security amidst the evolving digital threats.” 

The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Thomas Carsuzan, also reflected on the significance of this milestone, noting “At a time of increasingly sophisticated external threats, ensuring data security and privacy is one of our primary responsibilities. The ISO 27001 certification demonstrates our focus on protecting business-critical information, developer code, and operations but also reassures our clients that their data is secure with us.” 

The scope of Landytech’s ISO 27001 certification is comprehensive, covering all employees, technologies, IT infrastructure, and information assets. The certification was conducted by the British Assessment Bureau, a third-party auditor accredited by the UK Accreditation Service (UKAS), ensuring an independent and rigorous validation of Landytech’s information security management system.  

Since its inception in 2018, Landytech has been at the forefront of investment data consolidation, analytics, and reporting, offering a platform, Sesame, that automates the entire process from sourcing and consolidating data from custodians to the production of polished and comprehensive investment reports. With this ISO 27001 certification, Landytech not only solidifies its position as a leader in the industry but also sets the standard for operational excellence and security. Looking ahead, Landytech continues to innovate and enhance its offerings, reinforcing its commitment to leading the industry in both security and functionality.

The data problem behind SFDR reporting and disclosures

SFDR is one of the largest pieces of ESG-related legislation rolled out anywhere in the world, and their compliance requirements are a daunting prospect for fund managers and wider financial market participants.

Quarterly Regulatory Round-up: Q3 2022

Despite recent market turbulence, there has been no let-up in the deluge of new regulation on the way. It means asset managers are having to invest even more time, effort and money into meeting new requirements, posing a significant challenge for small and emerging managers, where funds, resources and staff are often in short supply. 

The asset manager’s how-to guide to ESG reporting

There has been an explosion in the popularity of environmental, social, and governance funds in recent years. In light of this growth, fund managers have been increasingly keen to step up their commitment to ESG and its measurement.

The rewards for those that get it right are high. An authentic ESG strategy that is evident through a firm’s products, their investment process and data-driven reporting is easy for existing investors to understand and attractive to prospects that value ESG highly.

Asset managers must demonstrate that their fund disclosures and reporting approach meets parameters which are strictly linked to ESG reporting criteria. But reporting is not an easy landscape to navigate when it comes to ESG.

The EU has started to implement the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), which sets out rules for classifying and reporting on sustainability and ESG factors in investments. But whilst regulators and industry bodies across the globe play catch up, there has been a distinct lack of guidance for asset managers compared to other more established investment reports.

Despite this ambiguity, there are three principles ESG reports should adhere to: authenticity, substance and defendable data. Asset managers need to be transparent on the methodological approach followed in their investment strategy, implementation of governance and the reporting in place.

Today, most asset managers have several options to demonstrate the transparency and accountability of their ESG funds. But how these are implemented for reporting depends on the ESG strategy in place, and the jurisdiction in which the asset manager is operating.

4 top trends driving the ESG reporting agenda in 2022

Interest in ESG has increased exponentially in recent years and there has been no sign of slowing in 2022, so far. But it is not just inflows to ESG funds that has been increasing. As policymakers turn their attention to environmental, social, and governance concerns, there has been increased pressure for asset managers to provide more data and consistent reporting around ESG investments.

Although a tightening of regulation is presenting asset managers with new data and reporting challenges that must be addressed, it is also creating new market opportunities. In particular, the opportunity to develop new fund vehicles that legitimately address environmental, social and governance concerns, and meet the demands of today’s ESG-conscious investors.

So, what are the trends shaping the ESG agenda for asset managers?
