EDITOR is a web application by European DataWarehouse (EDW) that provides tools to support issuers and investors in complying with the Securitisation Regulation (EU) 2017/2402. The tool not only caters to public deals, but also provides a secure platform to share data and documentation for private transactions.

EDW’s dedicated private area within its EDITOR securitisation repository platform enables users to upload, store, and share information, including loan-level data and other relevant documentation, for all non-public transactions.

Unlike with public securitisations, issuers of private securitisations are not yet required to report loan-level data to a repository, but many already do to streamline compliance and manage information dissemination for their deals. This includes:

Our robust solution facilitates compliance with the disclosure requirements for private transactions under Article 7(1) of both the EU and UK Securitisation Regulations.

Principals of EDW’S private reporting solution include:

• Storage of relevant data: EDW regularly collects documentation and data according to the ESMA templates and taxonomies with tailor made solutions upon request. The data is stored in the system for at least 5 years.
• Security and tracking: Once the deal is created, users have access to a log of the uploads, and downloads.
• Controlled transmission and access: Access to the relevant data is fully managed by the originator and can be modified at any time. Access can be managed on two levels: organisation and user level.

EDITOR enables issuers of private transactions to comply with the disclosure requirements under Article 7(1) of the Securitisation Regulation and manage access to their data in one centralised, easy-to-use solution.

The disclosure framework for European securitisations is currently under review, with new requirements expected to be finalised at the end of 2026. Currently, the following guidelines apply to private transactions:

• Article 7 of the EU Securitisation Regulation (EU)2017/2402 defines what constitutes a ‘public’ or ‘private’ securitisation. Collateralised Loan Obligations (CLOs) currently fall under the category of ‘private’ securitisations as they have not drawn up a prospectus in compliance with the EU Prospectus Regulation.
• Issuers of ‘Private’ securitisations are mandated to prepare detailed reporting templates in accordance with the ESMA specifications but are exempted from the obligation to submit these templates to a securitisation repository.
• The EU Commission published a legislative proposal to review the securitisation framework on 17 June 2025. It’s package now moves through the EU legislative process and technical consultations from ESMA, and other authorities, are already underway. Market participants should track developments and engage with service providers and regulators as templates and technical standards are finalised.
