01 · Perimeter
Define the regulated activity

Design the regulatory operating model
Align entity structure, governance, senior management accountability, compliance resources, outsourcing, technology and financial resources to the applicable rulebook.
03 · Control
Build documented controls
Translate obligations into policies, procedures, risk assessments, monitoring, escalation and evidence that can be operated consistently.
04 · Evidence
Prepare for supervisory scrutiny
Organise application packs, decision logs, control evidence and reporting processes so the business can explain how requirements work in practice.
Terminology note. “Crypto licence” is a shorthand used in market conversation; official frameworks may use different terms such as VASP Licence, Financial Services Permission, or Crypto-Asset Service License. The applicable regulator and activity determine the correct term.
