Regulatory readiness reference
DORA, MiCA, the GENIUS Act and US bank supervision, mapped to operational obligations and evidence.
Run
Client Focus operates the infrastructure that digital asset services depend on. The Digital Asset NOC monitors node health, validator performance, RPC latency and integration status continuously, and manages incidents, problems and changes under ITIL practice.
Services
What the practice delivers
Monitoring, managed operations and the control work that supervisors expect to see evidenced.
Digital Asset NOC
Node, validator, RPC and integration health monitored across nine public blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, and permissioned networks such as Hyperledger Fabric, Corda and Canton, covering sync status, peer health, latency and finality.
Managed operations
ITIL-based incident, problem and change management, with a named owner for every service and a documented escalation path.
Cloud and infrastructure management
Capacity planning, patching, backup and failover across IBM, Microsoft Azure, Oracle and Amazon Web Services estates.
Technology risk controls
Encryption, access management, fraud detection and control frameworks including PCI DSS, FFIEC, GDPR, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF, applied to chain and banking systems alike.
Regulatory readiness
Operational evidence, reporting and resilience testing aligned to the GENIUS Act, MiCA and DORA expectations.
Global support services
Support delivered 24/7/365 across Ashburn and Hyderabad, with documented handover at every shift boundary.
Operating model
How coverage is staffed and escalated
Four shift blocks
Morning, general, afternoon and night blocks cover the day with deliberate overlap, so handover happens with both teams present.
Escalation from L1 to L4
Watch Officer, senior analyst, incident manager and operations lead, each with a defined responsibility and a named individual on duty.
Published notification clock
Notification within 10 minutes of detection; client acknowledgment within 15 minutes (targets stated in the client's service description).
Artificial intelligence
Where automation narrows the queue
Automated analysis reduces noise. The decision to escalate remains with the officer on duty.
- Anomaly detection on node and RPC telemetry, surfaced before static thresholds are breached.
- Alert grouping, so one infrastructure fault produces one ticket rather than many.
- Change risk scoring on release plans, reviewed by the change owner before approval.
- Forecasting of node resource exhaustion, validator performance drift and RPC saturation, so capacity work is scheduled before an outage.
Engagement model
Sample priority and response targets
Sample engagement and SLA modelIllustrative values, not contractual
| Tier | Scope | Target response | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 | Chain or service unavailable | 10 minutes | 24/7/365 |
| P2 | Degraded node, validator or RPC performance | 30 minutes | 24/7/365 |
| P3 | Single component fault, redundancy intact | 4 hours | 24/7/365 |
| P4 | Service request or planned change | 2 business days | Business hours |
Illustrative values shown. Final priorities, response targets and service credits are agreed for each engagement.
