Governance Principles

Managing a third-party archiver requires the highest level of caution, from a governance point of view. The Board of Directors of Learch has defined a set of policies, requirements and best practices of which we highlight some here:

  1. The founding rules and regulations of the Board of Directors articulate the responsibilities of the Directors, particularly in audit matters.
  2. The management team meets every week, acts upon decisions and systematically follows these actions up. In case a serious problem poses itself, the management team contacts the Board of Directors.
  3. The Management team has set up an Internal Control System, which is systematically improved and focuses on following aspects:
    • business management oversight;
    • operational risk assessment;
    • control culture;
    • information and communication;
    • business activity monitoring.
  4. As a PSF, Learch is supervised by the CSSF.
  5. The organisation is routinely audited by independent auditors. Three levels of audit are defined and conducted:
    • an organisational audit;
    • an Information Security Management System (ISMS) audit;
    • an external audit of financial statements.
