Rostro Group selects Hoptroff TTaaS™ to ensure compliance with global financial regulations

When Rostro Group, a fintech financial organisation focused on capital markets and prime brokerage, needed to meet strict regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions while maintaining operational resilience, they turned to Hoptroff's Traceable Time as a Service for a comprehensive solution.

Our customer, Rostro Group:

Rostro Group is a fintech financial group of companies focused on capital markets and prime brokerage. The group operates in multi-regulated brokerage houses that provide execution of both securities and OTC Derivatives.

Problem

Given Rostro's global footprint and the need to comply with regulations worldwide, such as MIFID II and DORA, they required suppliers of connectivity and precision timing to ensure operational resilience and meet the increasing demands of regulators.

For financial organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions, maintaining regulatory compliance while expanding presents significant challenges to IT resources and infrastructure.

Solution

Hoptroff was recommended to Rostro by one of its channel partners, BSO, who have been a longstanding supplier of low-latency services.

Hoptroff implemented its cutting-edge global timing network and monitoring software to develop a solution that meets Rostro's current and future requirements for high-quality timing.

Implementation

The team worked closely with Rostro to integrate Hoptroff's TTaaS™ into their existing IT estate, ensuring seamless operation across their expanding geographic footprint.

The fully managed timing solution was deployed to support Rostro's operations across multiple locations, providing consistent time synchronisation for both on-premises and cloud infrastructure.

Outcome

Easy compliance reporting: An agnostic timing solution that meets international financial and cybersecurity regulations, both on-premises and in the cloud.

Operational resilience: Providing a backup timing solution to minimise disruption and support disaster recovery.

Hassle-free scalability: Frees up the IT team to work on other critical areas and focus on expansion and product development, whilst being assured that Hoptroff's world-renowned expertise is in the background supporting their timing ecosystem.

John Williams, CIO of Rostro, highlighted the value of Hoptroff's solution:

"In a competitive market, Rostro needs to make sure it has best-in-class technology, which means excellent connectivity and precision timing. The combination of working with BSO with their low latency connectivity and Hoptroff's fully managed timing solution saves my team time and hassle in integrating into our IT estate, which is especially important as we grow through acquisition and increase our geographic footprint."
