The Challenge

Regulatory Complexity

The institution operated across multiple jurisdictions with varying regulatory requirements, including GDPR, CCPA, Basel III, and emerging AI governance frameworks. Manual interpretation and implementation of these regulations was becoming increasingly difficult and error-prone.

Resource Constraints

Compliance teams were overwhelmed with manual data collection, analysis, and reporting tasks. The organization was spending over 40% of their compliance budget on routine monitoring activities, leaving little room for strategic risk management.

Inconsistent Reporting

Different departments used varying methodologies for compliance reporting, creating inconsistencies and potential regulatory gaps. The lack of standardized processes increased audit risk and regulatory scrutiny.
