Solutions / Risk and Governance
Institutional Digital Asset Risk & Governance Infrastructure
Digital asset markets introduce new forms of exposure — but institutional accountability remains unchanged. Institutions require defensible exposure visibility, enforceable controls and structured governance, not reactive monitoring.
What Risk & Governance Teams Must Control
Incomplete Exposure Visibility
Spot, derivatives and collateral exposures often sit across separate systems.
Delayed Risk Aggregation
Manual exposure consolidation limits real-
time decision-making.
Inconsistent Limit Enforcement
Trading limits and policy thresholds are difficult to apply uniformly across venues.
Insufficient Scenario Analysis
Stress testing across correlated
digital asset markets is often fragmented or inconsistent.
Governance & Audit Pressure
Stakeholders require clear audit trails, structured reporting and documented operational controls.
Infrastructure Designed for Institutional Risk Discipline
Consolidated Exposure Aggregation
Aggregate exposures across spot, derivatives and counterparties into a unified institutional risk view.
Real-Time Scenario & Stress Testing
Model downside risk across price, volatility and correlation shocks to understand potential balance sheet impact.
Limit Monitoring & Policy Enforcement
Define and monitor exposure thresholds aligned with institutional risk appetite.
Cross-Functional Data Alignment
Ensure trading, portfolio and treasury teams operate on the same validated dataset for risk transparency.
Audit-Ready Record Keeping
Maintain structured, time-stamped records of exposures, limit monitoring and reconciled positions.
Risk you can defend. Governance you
can prove.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Elwood support institutional risk committees?
Elwood embeds risk management directly into the execution workflow. Our Execution Management System (EMS) performs automated pre-trade checks to ensure every order complies with your firm's pre-defined rules. This includes checks for approved instruments, venue restrictions, and available credit lines. By validating orders against your governance framework before they are sent to market, we help you prevent compliance breaches and trading errors proactively.
What tools does Elwood provide for real-time market risk monitoring?
Our Risk Management System (RMS) provides a live, consolidated view of market risk across your entire portfolio. You can monitor real-time mark-to-market P&L, analyse portfolio greeks (Delta, Gamma, Vega), and run scenario analysis and stress tests to understand your portfolio's sensitivity to market volatility. This allows you to move from a reactive to a proactive risk management posture.
How does the platform help us manage counterparty risk?
Counterparty risk management is a cornerstone of our platform. Elwood provides a single dashboard to monitor real-time credit and settlement risk exposure across all your trading venues and counterparties. You can set and enforce exposure limits for each venue, receive automated alerts on collateral and margin levels, and generate detailed exposure reports. This aggregated view is critical for diversifying risk and preventing concentrated counterparty failures.
What are Elwood's security and compliance credentials?
We are committed to meeting the highest institutional standards for security and regulatory compliance. Elwood is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and ISO 27001 compliant. This demonstrates our commitment to robust internal controls, data security, and operational integrity. Our platform is built with bank-grade security protocols, including mandatory MFA and data encryption, and undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing.
How does Elwood support governance and audit requirements?
Our platform provides a comprehensive and immutable audit trail that logs every significant action taken, from user logins and permission changes to order placements and cancellations. This provides the transparency required for internal reviews and regulatory inquiries. Furthermore, you can generate a full suite of customisable reports for position valuation, P&L attribution, and transaction cost analysis to support your financial accounting and reporting obligations.
Can we customise the governance framework within Elwood?
Yes. Elwood's platform is designed to be highly configurable to match your firm's specific governance policies. You can implement granular user roles and permissions to enforce segregation of duties between front, middle, and back-office functions. Our rules-based engine allows you to customise everything from trading limits and approved instruments to reporting workflows, ensuring the platform operates as a natural extension of your internal compliance framework.
