AI Governance for Financial Services
Banks, insurers, asset managers, and fintechs face the strictest AI regulations globally. Your employees need AI to stay competitive - but a single data leak can trigger regulatory action, erode client trust, and cost millions in fines. WalledAI lets every team use AI while maintaining full compliance with MAS TRM, FCA, OCC, and EU AI Act requirements.

Industry benchmark
Financial institutions are caught between two imperatives: accelerate AI adoption to remain competitive, or restrict AI usage to satisfy regulators. Most choose restriction - blocking AI tools entirely, forcing employees into shadow AI usage that creates even greater risk. WalledAI eliminates this false choice.
Shadow AI Is Already Here
Your relationship managers, analysts, and compliance officers are already using ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot - with client names, portfolio values, and deal terms in every prompt. Blocking tools doesn't stop usage. It pushes it underground where you have zero visibility.
Private LLMs Are a Dead End
Deploying a private LLM costs $2–5M annually, locks you into one model that falls behind in months, and still doesn't solve the governance problem. You're paying premium for inferior capability with no guarantee data stays protected within the model's training pipeline.
The Governance Layer Approach
WalledAI sits between your employees and any LLM. Data is masked before it leaves your boundary, unmasked when it returns. The LLM gets context - not content. Your teams get the best AI. Your data never leaves your control. Use any model. Switch models anytime.

Who Benefits - And How
Every stakeholder in a financial institution has a different lens on AI governance. Here's what WalledAI means for each.
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
The Pain
You're responsible for data that can't leak - client PII, trading strategies, deal pipelines. Every AI interaction is a potential exfiltration event.
With WalledAI
Upload your risk policies directly into the Governance Dashboard. Define custom sensitivity classifications. Every AI interaction is logged, auditable, and compliant. You see exactly what data was masked, what reached the LLM, and who initiated it.
Chief Risk Officer (CRO)
The Pain
AI introduces model risk, operational risk, and reputational risk simultaneously. You need quantifiable controls, not promises.
With WalledAI
Risk-defined user roles map AI permissions to your existing risk taxonomy. Custom risk profiles per department, per use case, per sensitivity level. Board-ready risk reports generated automatically from the Governance Dashboard.
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
The Pain
You want to give engineering teams the best AI tools - but procurement, security, and compliance reviews take 6+ months per tool.
With WalledAI
WalledAI is model-agnostic. Approve one governance layer, then let teams use GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or any future model. No new security review per model. Deploy on-prem or in your sovereign cloud. API integration in hours, not months.
Head of Compliance
The Pain
Regulators are asking about AI governance in every examination. You don't have a framework, and you can't evidence controls.
With WalledAI
Pre-mapped controls for MAS TRM, FCA, OCC, and EU AI Act. Audit-ready evidence packages generated on demand. Every AI interaction traceable to user, department, sensitivity classification, and masking action taken.
Board of Directors
The Pain
AI is both your biggest opportunity and your biggest liability. You need assurance that management has controls in place - without becoming an AI expert.
With WalledAI
Quarterly board reports from the Governance Dashboard showing: total AI interactions governed, data categories protected, policy violations detected, and compliance posture across all regulatory frameworks.
Relationship Managers & Front Office
The Pain
You know AI could make you 3x more productive - but you're told you can't use it because of client data concerns.
With WalledAI
Use any AI tool naturally. Type your prompt with client names, portfolio values, and strategy details. WalledAI masks everything sensitive before it reaches the LLM. You get back perfectly contextualised output with real data restored. No workflow change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does WalledAI help financial institutions comply with MAS TRM?
WalledAI maps directly to MAS TRM requirements for AI governance. It provides data masking for transaction and customer data, access controls per department, audit trails for every AI interaction, and compliance evidence packages that regulators can review during examinations.
Can WalledAI protect transaction data in AI queries?
Yes. Walled Redact automatically detects and masks account numbers, transaction IDs, portfolio values, customer names, and other financial PII before any data reaches the LLM. Contextual restoration ensures your analysts see real data in the response while the LLM never accesses it.
Does WalledAI support anti-money laundering AI use cases?
Yes. AML teams can use AI to analyse Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), identify patterns across transaction data, and draft investigation reports - all while WalledAI masks sensitive transaction details and ensures outputs are factually validated against your compliance database.
