Reach SOLVENCY_II readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

Solvency II is the EU regulatory framework for insurance + reinsurance undertakings. Three pillars: (1) quantitative capital requirements — Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) + Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR), valuation of assets + liabilities; (2) qualitative governance + risk management including Own Risk + Solvency Assessment (ORSA); (3) disclosure + reporting including Solvency + Financial Condition Report (SFCR) + Regular Supervisory Report (RSR). The Solvency II Review 2024 introduced enhanced macroprudential tools, sustainability-risk integration + recovery + resolution provisions. Quick Policy maps SOLVENCY_II into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Why SOLVENCY_II matters for your operating model

SOLVENCY_II doesn't just dictate document templates — it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.

  • Issued by European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) / NCAs and primarily enforced in EU.
  • Directly shapes policy families including Capital Management, Governance, Risk Management, Actuarial — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.

How Quick Policy helps you stand up SOLVENCY_II

The platform turns SOLVENCY_II from a PDF of requirements into a live operating model — policies, training, evidence, and audit-export packs that update in lock-step when the standard or your business changes.

  • Adopt SOLVENCY_II once and Quick Policy seeds the right policy families (Capital Management, Governance, Risk Management) with applicability rationale your auditor can follow.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Review cadence is enforced at ~365 days so policies don't silently expire ahead of recertification.
  • Standard updates (SOLVENCY_II revisions, errata, regulator guidance) trigger an applicability re-check across your active policies — not a full rewrite.
