Unique’s approach to corporate governance, risk, and compliance

Adopt a risk-based approach to balance between innovation and challenges

The approach to corporate governance, risk, and compliance within Unique is a comprehensive and meticulously crafted framework that reflects our commitment to operating at the highest ethical and regulatory standards, particularly within the financial service industry. Our foundation lies in robust policies and procedures, tailored to the unique demands of this sector. We prioritize data protection, adhering to Swiss data protection laws as our foundation, while also ensuring compliance with specific regulations based on our clients' locations, including GDPR for EU clients, UK data protection regulations, and applicable US federal and state privacy laws. This approach ensures that customer data remains secure and compliant across all regions where we operate.

To manage risk effectively, we adopt the ISO 9001 principles, embedding a culture of continuous improvement and quality assurance throughout our operations. An integral component of our approach is the implementation of an additional security layer, aptly named the "compliance layer," which bolsters the security of our applications, safeguarding them against potential threats.

To strengthen our governance and compliance posture, we have established a dedicated sub-processor management system that ensures all third-party partners adhere to our rigorous standards. Moreover, our commitment to transparency and accountability is underscored by our regular collaboration with external auditors who rigorously validate our corporate governance, risk management, and compliance strategies (e.g. ISO 27001, 9001, SOC 2). This approach underscores our unwavering dedication to the trust and satisfaction of our clients while upholding the highest industry standards.
