Wednesday 9am local. Before mid-week regulatory update briefings.

Regulation-specific: 'DORA readiness at [Co]', 'AML transaction-monitoring gap'.

Attach a policy or link?

Link. Compliance leaders route URLs to legal, audit, and business lines simultaneously.

Pitch product or coverage?

Coverage of a named obligation. Compliance buys defensibility, not features.

Why generic compliance pitches fail

Compliance leaders read every "compliance platform" pitch and reject 99% because the writer clearly hasn't read the regulation.

The unlock: cite a specific article (e.g. DORA Article 28, MiFID II RTS 6), show what obligation it creates, and offer scoped coverage. Instant credibility.

The 70-word email compliance leaders reply to

Cite the article + name the obligation + scoped ask.

Subject:

DORA Article 28 — third-party ICT readiness at [Co]

Body:

[First] — DORA Article 28 comes into force in 90 days. Two of [Co]'s peer institutions in scope shared they're still finalizing their third-party ICT register.

We built a 1-page mapping template that maps existing vendor contracts to Article 28 sub-clauses. Would that be useful pre-deadline?

Happy to send — no meeting ask.

What kills a compliance pitch

✕ Generic 'compliance' language

Every vendor uses it. Cite the article and sub-clause.

✕ Vague coverage claims

Compliance leaders test claims. Overstate once and you're blocked forever.

✕ Ignoring go-live dates

Pitch 90 days before, not 30. Late pitches read as opportunistic.

✕ No jurisdiction awareness

US vs EU vs APAC obligations differ. Mismatched regulation = instant archive.
