On the 11th September 2018, the MFSA organised a one-day Seminar on due diligence and cybersecurity in relation to Distributed Ledger Technology (“DLT”), with over 450 attendees, so as to present guidance, best practices and available Reg-Tech solutions currently available in relation to cybersecurity and Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) risks pertaining to DLT. The VFA legislative and regulatory framework developed by the MFSA operates harmoniously with the GDPR and goes above and beyond the 5AMLD, thereby providing essential safeguards and protection of personal data and integrity against AML/CFT.
