Standard Guidance

Reach EU Solvency II Directive 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 EU Solvency II Directive into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.

Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against SOLVENCY_II's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.

A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.

Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.

Why EU Solvency II Directive matters for your operating model

EU Solvency II Directive 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.

  • Adopt EU Solvency II Directive 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 (EU Solvency II Directive revisions, errata, regulator guidance) trigger an applicability re-check across your active policies - not a full rewrite.
