Real Time Risk Limits Monitoring Platform
An internal platform that automates exposure limit monitoring, breach escalation, and limit management for a firm's risk team. It replaced manual checks and backend edits with one controlled, fully audited surface.
ISSUE
Risk oversight ran on manual checks and backend edits
Limits were hardcoded and could only be changed through engineering. Monitoring was ad hoc with no guaranteed cadence, so breaches surfaced late and were escalated by hand over email. Nothing was captured in a structured, auditable way. The result was operational risk, slow incident response, and an audit trail that took heavy manual effort to assemble.
SOLUTION
One controlled surface for setting limits, catching breaches, and resolving them
We designed a single module that lets the risk team own the full lifecycle. 100% of limit changes now happen in the tool, each confirmed by a second approver before going live, and the engineering edit path is retired. Exposures are checked against active limits every hour with graded alerts at 80% and 100% utilization, so detection no longer depends on someone watching a screen. Every breach is captured the moment it occurs, archived with a snapshot, a 24 hour trend chart and the underlying data, and resolved through one of five defined paths with a single approval. Risk oversight is now autonomous, real time and audit ready.
1
Every active limit in one grid, grouped by business and entity, with live exposure and utilization color coded at a glance.
2
A breach becomes a structured decision. Pick a resolution method, set a temporary or permanent limit, halt trading if needed, then confirm through one approval.
3
Every breach caught and recorded automatically, filterable and split by pending or resolved, building an audit ready trail with no manual chasing.
