🚀RISQED is raising the bar on EWRAs and Compliance Monitoring.

14/07/2026

On 4 June 2026, the Jersey Financial Services Commission published its revised Guidance Note: Compliance Monitoring — the first significant update since the original December 2013 version. This forms part of the JFSC's "Simplifying our Regulatory Framework" project and introduces clearer, more modern expectations for risk-based compliance monitoring.

The key upgrades in the 2026 guidance include:

  • A much stronger focus on dynamic, data-driven risk assessments that distinguish inherent from residual risk across multiple dimensions (including a new explicit category for technology & cyber risk assessments)
  • A dedicated new section actively encouraging the use of Regulatory Technology (RegTech) to improve efficiency, accuracy and responsiveness — with appropriate governance and audit trails
  • Detailed good/poor practice guidance and real-world scenarios drawn from recent thematic examinations
  • Greater emphasis on trigger-based updates, evidence of control effectiveness, proportionate testing, timely remediation and clear reporting to the board

In short, the JFSC is signalling that manual, static or "set-and-forget" approaches are no longer sufficient.

This is precisely the environment RISQED was designed for.

RISQED is Comsure's AI-powered, Jersey-built SaaS Governance, Risk & Compliance platform.

With RISQED you can:

  • Replace fragmented Excel-based processes with a single, centralised, audit-ready platform
  • Reduce the time spent on risk assessments and compliance monitoring by approximately 50% while gaining deeper, more defensible insights
  • Ensure your CMP is fully informed by comprehensive risk assessments (EWRA, thematic, technology/cyber, project, etc.)
  • Generate real-time dashboards and board-ready reports that demonstrate both the existence and effectiveness of controls
  • Stay continuously aligned with JFSC expectations — including the specific points raised in the 4 June 2026 revision

Many Jersey firms are already using RISQED to turn this regulatory update into a genuine competitive advantage — moving compliance from a periodic burden to an embedded, intelligence-led capability.

To help you visualise exactly how this works in practice, we've created a short video walkthrough showing RISQED and RIK in action against the new JFSC requirements.

I would be delighted to arrange a short, personalised demonstration tailored to your firm's structure, licences and current processes. https://risqed.com/

We're here to help Jersey firms embrace the updated guidance with confidence and clarity.
