(2) A domestic trading venue that makes reports on behalf of an investment services undertaking under Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 must establish security mechanisms that ensure the security and authentication of the channels of information transmission, and that prevent the falsification of data and unauthorised access to, and disclosure of, information, thereby safeguarding the confidentiality of the data at all times. The trading venue must maintain sufficient resources and establish contingency systems in order to be able to offer and maintain its relevant services at all times.
