Why outsource compliance functions?

Regulated companies must staff officer functions, carry out controls, maintain registers, keep evidence and react continuously to new requirements. Building this capacity in-house ties up personnel, creates fixed costs and quickly reaches its limits in the event of absences or peak loads.

Outsourcing to a specialised provider shifts this effort – but not the responsibility. What matters is that the outsourced function is audit-proof, contractually well regulated and always controllable for your company. S+P combines both: technical takeover by experienced officers and operational relief through scalable processing capacity – documented, with clear service levels and an audited control system.

Frequently asked questions about compliance outsourcing

Which functions can S+P take over?

Among others, S+P takes over the functions of the Money Laundering Reporting Officer, the Compliance Officer under MaRisk and WpHG, Internal Audit, the Information Security Officer, the Data Protection Officer, the ICT risk control function under DORA and central outsourcing management. Operational 1st line services are available in addition.

Does responsibility remain with our company?

Yes. Outsourcing shifts the task, not the regulatory responsibility. Your institution remains able to steer and oversee, as MaRisk AT 9 requires. Material decisions and ultimate responsibility remain with management.

How is audit-proofing ensured?

S+P works according to ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 and is audited to IDW PS 951 and ISAE 3402. Your auditor can rely on this audited control system instead of auditing the service provider. You receive all certificates and audit reports for your outsourcing file.

Can several functions be combined?

Yes. The S+P Compliance Package is modular. You can combine, for example, the money laundering officer, MaRisk compliance, data protection and the ICT risk control function. This ensures uniform governance, clear interfaces and one point of contact.

How do officer functions and 1st line services differ?

The officer function is an independent control function of the second line of defence: it defines standards, monitors risks and reports to management. 1st line services are operational processing according to your specifications. Both are provided separately in terms of organisation and personnel.

Is compliance outsourcing the same as regulatory consulting?

No. Regulatory consulting provides advice, strategy and project support. With outsourcing, S+P takes over the agreed function (e.g. MLRO) and its continuous operation, giving management ongoing relief rather than temporary advice.

How quickly can an outsourcing start?

In three steps: you get in touch and we clarify your requirements together. You receive a tailored offer with scope of services, contract term and cost structure. The outsourcing agreement starts our cooperation.
