Kaizen has launched its new MAR360 solution, a comprehensive suite designed to transform how firms address market abuse detection and prevention.
The launch comes at a time when regulators worldwide are placing increased scrutiny on market abuse risks, with financial institutions under mounting pressure to demonstrate their ability to detect, prevent and manage such incidents. Kaizen’s new offering aims to provide firms with an integrated solution that goes beyond traditional surveillance to proactive compliance management.
Founded with a focus on regulatory expertise and advanced technology, Kaizen supports banks, asset managers, hedge funds and other institutions by delivering solutions that help them remain compliant with evolving financial regulations. The firm is known for combining innovation with deep industry knowledge to deliver compliance products trusted by leading financial organisations.
The MAR360 product is structured around three pillars: market abuse risk assessment, trade and communications surveillance technology, and a market abuse training programme led by experts. Collectively, these tools provide institutions with a more holistic approach to tackling misconduct risks while ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations.
One of the key features of MAR360 is its online risk assessment tool, which evaluates firms’ controls across more than 27 distinct risk areas. Developed by former regulators, senior compliance specialists and technology experts, the system leverages regulatory enforcement data, industry best practice and AI-driven insights to uncover hidden vulnerabilities.
Alongside the risk assessment, MAR360 incorporates Kaizen’s proprietary trade and communications surveillance platform and a structured training programme. The training offers firms access to ongoing guidance from subject matter experts and ex-regulators, helping them address gaps in their compliance frameworks and build resilience against potential breaches.
The new product is positioned to support firms in meeting the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) five-year strategy to combat financial crime, as well as the broader global regulatory agenda focused on transparency and accountability.
Kaizen market abuse & surveillance director Simon Appleton 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.”
