Investor Risk Reduction Access (IRRA) platform for stock brokers with immediate effect saying the system had become redundant due to stronger cyber security, disaster recovery and business continuity mechanisms in the securities market, PTI reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>The IRRA platform, launched on October 1, 2023, was introduced to provide brokers with an alternative access route for trading during disruptions in their trading services.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>However, Sebi said multiple technology-driven reforms implemented in recent years had significantly improved the operational resilience of stock brokers.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>These include Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery (BCP-DR) norms, stronger cyber security and cyber resilience frameworks, implementation of the Market Security Operations Centre (M-SoC), and improvements in the technical glitch management framework.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>According to the regulator, brokers have also adopted advanced technological systems enabling smooth transition between primary and alternate operational sites during disruptions, alongside the emergence of independent cold sites for business continuity.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Sebi further noted that stock exchanges already provide a backup mechanism through the Contingency Pool Trading facility, which allows brokers to square off clients\u2019 open positions during operational disruptions through dedicated exchange-connected terminals.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The regulator said exchanges informed Sebi that the IRRA platform had become \u201cstructurally redundant\u201d as brokers had not used it since its launch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>\u201cSince its inception, the platform has not been accessed by the stock brokers, largely due to the implementation of robust regulatory measures, significant technological innovations within trading operations and the availability of the Contingency Pool Trading facility,\u201d Sebi said in its circular.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>\u201cAccordingly, based on stakeholder feedback and the aforementioned factors, it has been decided to discontinue the IRRA platform with immediate effect,\u201d it added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Sebi has also advised stock exchanges to further review and strengthen the Contingency Pool Trading framework.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
