The Compliance Challenge
Why Financial Services Can't Afford to Skip SOC 2
Audit Fatigue & Cost
Manual SOC 2 compliance costs $50,000–$150,000 in consultant fees alone, plus 200–400 hours of internal team time and 3–6 months of effort.
Client Trust Erosion
Without SOC 2 certification, enterprise prospects walk away. 83% of B2B buyers require compliance proof before signing contracts over $100K.
Regulatory Complexity
Financial services face overlapping requirements: SOC 2, PCI DSS, GLBA, state regulations — each with distinct AI governance expectations.
AI Model Risk
Algorithmic trading, fraud detection, and credit scoring AI must demonstrate explainability, fairness, and auditability to regulators.
