CoverProof

Section 250 compliance for FCA-regulated UK firms. Live

What it does

Section 250 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 creates a new compliance obligation for FCA-regulated firms, with a hard deadline of 29 June 2026. CoverProof handles the whole cycle: it runs an automated gap analysis against the firm's SM&CR population to identify who is exposed, sends declarations to every uncovered individual through zero-login cycles (no accounts or passwords for the people declaring), and then assembles the results into board evidence packs in PDF/A-3B — a format chosen for business-record admissibility, so the firm can show exactly what it did and when.

Who it's for

Compliance officers and senior managers at FCA-regulated UK firms who need to evidence their Section 250 position to the board and, if it ever comes to it, to a regulator or court — without chasing dozens of individuals through email and spreadsheets.
