Compliance consulting for banks (BaFin & MaRisk)

Banks and financial services providers need compliance consultancies with documented BaFin and MaRisk experience — generalist strategy firms fail here on regulatory detail. White Label Advisory places boutiques and IT firms with a track record in MaRisk, BAIT, KWG, ZAG and comparable supervisory regimes — typically within a few days.

Which regulatory topics are covered

We place consultancies with demonstrable experience in MaRisk (minimum requirements for risk management), BAIT (supervisory requirements for IT in financial institutions), KWG (German Banking Act), ZAG (Payment Services Supervision Act), MiFID II, GwG (Anti-Money Laundering Act), DORA and comparable EU frameworks. The track record is documented during onboarding and checked against every match.

Why generalist strategy consultancies often don't fit

Top-3 consultancies have banking practices, but the detailed knowledge sits with specialist compliance firms and IT boutiques. Supervisory audits, MaRisk amendments or BAIT implementations require senior consultants with five to ten years of banking practice — not mid-level consultants from generalist pools. Those specialist boutiques are rarely publicly visible.

How White Label Advisory matches regulated mandates

You describe the requirement — e.g. "MaRisk outsourcing audit for a savings bank with €2bn in total assets" — and we check it against our compliance cluster (boutiques with documented BaFin experience, IT firms with a BAIT track record, dedicated supervisory advisors). You receive profiles of the senior leads, their public track-record examples and comparable day rates.

Typical challenges

  • Generalist consultancies don't know MaRisk detail — a seniority gap in the pitch team
  • Specialist compliance boutiques can't be found through classic procurement
  • Supervisory audits require fast mobilisation — a classic tender takes too long
  • Pricing isn't comparable — compliance day rates vary by a factor of two

Why White Label Advisory

  • A compliance cluster of boutiques with documented BaFin/MaRisk experience
  • Senior profiles of the responsible consultants — no mid-level substitution
  • Three day-rate-comparable offers in 48 hours
  • Confidentiality at investment banking level

Frequently asked

Do you also place IT consultancies for BAIT implementations?
Yes. We have IT firms with a documented BAIT track record in the network — from cloud migration implementations under BAIT requirements through to end-user computing inventories.
Can you also respond ad hoc to supervisory enquiries?
Yes. For urgent supervisory topics we shorten the match process to 24 hours. The prerequisite: you know the required profile scope (senior hours, number of consultants, time frame).
How is confidentiality handled towards the supervisory authority?
Every consultancy we place signs an NDA before any detailed briefing. Whether the authority needs to be informed is something we clarify together with your compliance function — we pass on no supervisory-relevant information without your explicit approval.

A supervisory topic that needs a senior profile fast?

We mobilise compliance boutiques with documented BaFin and MaRisk experience within 24–48 hours. Confidential, comparable, free of charge for clients.
