Kaizen Unveils MAR360 to Tackle Market Abuse Risk with Integrated Surveillance and Training

Subscribe to our newsletter

Kaizen has unveiled MAR360, a new compliance suite aimed at helping financial institutions manage the complex challenge of detecting and preventing market abuse. The release reflects a growing regulatory push to tighten controls and ensure firms can demonstrate robust frameworks to supervisors.

The suite brings together three elements: a market abuse risk assessment tool, trade and communications surveillance technology, and a training programme led by industry experts. The risk assessment module analyses more than 27 distinct risk areas, drawing on past enforcement actions and industry practice. According to Kaizen, the design – supported by AI techniques – is intended to flag vulnerabilities that might otherwise remain hidden.

The surveillance platform and training programme complement the risk framework, offering firms an integrated approach. Training is delivered by subject-matter specialists and former regulators, with ongoing support to help remediate gaps and strengthen operational resilience.

Simon Appleton, Market Abuse & Surveillance Director at Kaizen, said: “Our MAR360 solution moves beyond standard surveillance systems to the proactive management of market abuse risk, supporting the Financial Conduct Authority’s five year strategy to fight financial crime. As global regulators continue to focus on market abuse, firms need to integrate their solutions and controls to demonstrate to regulators how they are taking steps to detect and prevent market abuse incidents happening in the first place.”

By aligning technological tools with regulatory expectations, Kaizen is positioning MAR360 as a resource for institutions looking to evidence control and readiness in an environment where scrutiny of market conduct is steadily increasing.
