ITRS launches real-time capacity planning solution to help financial institutions meet global regulatory requirements
Regulators aren't issuing guidance anymore. They're drawing lines—and enforcing them.
Today, ITRS announced the launch of its Real-Time Capacity Planning Solution, a new product capability purpose-built to help financial institutions comply with increasingly stringent regulatory mandates around operational resilience and capacity management.
The regulatory landscape has changed
As of December 2024, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) made operational resilience enforceable, requiring Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs) to:
- Maintain 1.5× projected peak capacity
- Track 10-second sustained load metrics
- Provide real-time system performance data to regulators
Capacity planning implication: Firms must implement SEBI-aligned forecasting models and real-time performance monitoring to demonstrate continuous headroom, or risk penalties, disruption, and reputational damage.
A global shift from assurances to evidence
Other regulators are moving in lockstep, making it clear: resilience must be measured, not assumed:
- BSP Circular 1143 (Philippines): Mandates real-time ICT risk controls, requiring continuous monitoring of system performance and early detection of stress or degradation. Capacity Planning implication: Firms must deploy real-time capacity tracking and forecasting to detect saturation risks before they impact availability.
- APRA CPS 230 (Australia): Requires institutions to define and maintain tolerance thresholds for critical operations, ensuring continuity under stress. Capacity Planning implication: Firms must model, test, and document infrastructure headroom to prove they can absorb demand surges within set tolerances.
