Regulatory Cost Allocation Isn't Optional. Is Yours Auditable?
BCBS 239, DORA, and PCI DSS create explicit requirements for cost attribution, financial resilience documentation, and workload segregation. FinOps QA makes these defensible.
Financial services organisations face the most structured FinOps QA requirements in the market — driven by regulators, not internal preference. finops.qa provides the documented, tested evidence that auditors require.
Regulatory Angles
BCBS 239 (Banking): Requires risk data aggregation including cost attribution by legal entity and business line. Cloud billing rarely supports this natively — allocation models must be built and validated.
DORA (EU Digital Operational Resilience): Requires evidence of ICT risk management including cost controls. FinOps QA provides the documented test evidence for regulatory review.
PCI DSS: Cardholder data environments must be cost-segregated from non-CDE infrastructure. The segregation boundary is typically assumed in billing — we test whether it holds.
