Does your company carry out load tests in stress scenarios? If the answer is no, we will explain why it will be necessary to run tests in 2023, check it out in this article!

Pursuant to CVM Resolution No. 35/2021, securities brokerages must carry out load tests on post-trade infrastructure in 2023, to present in the BSM audit in 2024. BSM Supervisão de Mercados is a civil association that performs independently the self-regulation of the markets managed by B3, carrying out activities of monitoring, supervision and inspection of the markets and participants.

But why are load tests so important?

Load tests are essential due to stress scenarios, which can happen due to specific market occasions, mainly in demand peaks. Therefore, brokers need to assess their limits for receiving and processing orders in trading and post-trading operations and infrastructure.

In addition, the intermediaries of this process must carry out some responsibilities, such as:

• A estrutura de tecnologia da informação deve ser compatível com o volume, natureza e complexidade de suas operações, para preservar o atendimento aos clientes, principalmente em períodos de pico de demanda;
• Technological systems must be submitted to tests at adequate intervals, to verify their functioning in a stress scenario;
• It is necessary to identify and classify critical business processes and assess the potential effects of interruption of critical processes on its activities;
• Develop and implement policies and practices to ensure the integrity, security and availability of its critical systems, in addition to establishing guidelines for assessing the relevance of incidents.
