Compliance Assurance

Location:
Brussels, Belgium (Hybrid)

Duration:
Until year-end (possible extension based on outcomes)

About the Mission

Our client that operates ion the financial services is preparing for a
new Belgian oversight framework
targeting providers of financial messaging services. The
National Bank of Belgium (NBB)
will act as the competent authority, moving oversight from largely "soft law" to a
binding, enforceable regime
.

As part of this evolution, a
new Compliance Assurance and Reporting team
is being established. The mission's goal is to design and pilot a
clear, reusable assurance methodology
for the new Oversight Law — and later for broader compliance domains.

Key Deliverables

Design a
repeatable assurance approach
– how to define scope, perform testing, rate issues, and follow up

Translate the
Oversight Act
into
practical compliance checks
– define roles, evidence, and review frequency

Pilot and refine
the approach on a test sample

Prepare
easy-to-use templates
(test notes, action logs, management summary reports)

Use
JIRA
to track work (no complex setup required) and ensure all outputs are
GRC-ready

Deliver a
limited assurance report
on the new oversight framework by
year-end
