ECUC member organization
ECUC Moderators
As a diverse coalition of 32 institutions the ECUC must have an effective organization. Three moderators (institutions) are elected by the members and lead the coalition for a twelve months period. As an industry voice we thus ensure a well balanced position across all institutes and countries. Currently Commerzbank AG, Nordea Bank Abp and Swedbank AB are elected moderators.
Workstreams
We have established six workstreams: Cloud Service Provider, Policy, Security, Communications, Legal and Position Paper. Every workstream offers a knowledge exchange, where all members are welcome to participate. The elaborated requirements derived from the workstreams are incorporated in our ECUC Position Paper.
Each member institution needs to participate in at least one workstream.
Workstream Cloud Service Provider (CSP)
The workstream CSP is responsible for the contacts with cloud service providers who wish to have an exchange with the ECUC. Dedicated contacts take care of providers and ensure the regular exchange of experiences.
This workstream is moderated by Ludmila Schmerbauch (Erste Group) and Seenuvasan Devasenan (Commerzbank AG).
Workstream Policy
To ensure our role as an industry voice and to establish the ECUC as a trusted advisor for cloud matters, the Policy workstream aims to maintain relationships with European Policy Makers and Supervisors.
This workstream is moderated by Agnese Kažmere (Swedbank AB) and Andreas Widegren (Nordea Bank Abp).
Workstream Security
This workstream collaborates with the Cloud Security Alliance to represent European financial services, developing cyber resilience best practices aligned with mandatory and regulatory requirements, including DORA, and defining security responsibilities between cloud service providers and Financial Institutions where they are cloud service customers.
This workstream is moderated by Kokilan Kanesalingam (Deutsche Börse AG).
Workstream Communications
The workstream Communications is reponsible for the PR activities of the coalition. Communication guidelines, press releases, website contents and our ECUC LinkedIn page are discussed and developed to enhance the awareness and impact of the ECUC.
This workstream is moderated by Aysu Heristchi (Deutsche Kreditbank AG) and Monika Njegac-Wagner (Commerzbank AG).
Workstream Legal
The Workstream is responsible for overseeing contractual matters within the ECUC and offering legal guidance on cloud regulatory topics.
Workstream Position Paper
This workstream is tasked with integrating input from all other workstreams and ensuring the Position Paper and Checklist are regularly updated and well-maintained. For the most up-to-date versions, please refer to the documents available on our homepage.
