Agents do the typing.
Your practitioners
do the judging.
Agents handle the busywork so your team can focus on judgment. They help stand up your program at onboarding, turn each day’s activity into a morning briefing, and draft records and templates across the app. Before anything takes effect, a person reviews and confirms it.
-
Onboarding · 5 minutes
A custom program, stood up in a few steps.
Enter your website, confirm your products and their lifecycle, and Guardial recommends the regulations that apply along with a starter list of your top requirements. As a result, your compliance program is running on day one. Your team confirms and adjusts everything from there, so you always know where the starting point came from.
-
Ongoing · AI briefings
A morning briefing on what changed.
Each night, agents review the activity inside your program and surface what shifted and where trends are heading. Your team starts every morning knowing what moved and what needs attention. If you connect a third-party regulatory feed, those sources get scanned in the same pass.
-
Across the app · Automation
Records and templates, drafted for you.
Need a policy, an audit template, a vendor questionnaire, or a risk record? Agents draft the first version from your existing program, so your team edits and approves instead of starting from a blank page. Once you confirm a draft, it becomes part of your program.
Every finding.
One queue.
A KRI breach, a triaged complaint, a vendor SOC 2 expiry, and a fieldwork exception all land in the same Issues Home. Each one arrives with the risk identified, an owner, and suggested actions. Agents surface and draft the work, then your team makes the decision.
-
01 · Single severity
One scale across modules.
Critical, high, moderate, low, calibrated the same way whether the finding came from a risk assessment, a complaint, an audit, or a vendor.
-
02 · Named owners
Every issue has a human.
Agents draft and owners decide. The audit trail then captures each edit and approval, along with what changed.
-
03 · Cross-module linking
Every finding is linked.
A KRI breach connects to the control it affects, the issue it opens, and the audit finding and response tied to it. Trace the chain in any direction.
-
04 · SLA & escalation
The clock is shared.
SLAs roll up by module, owner, and severity. Overdue findings escalate through Guardial instead of sitting in someone’s Outlook folder.
Accountable AI,
built to be audited.
Guardial’s agents propose changes; they never apply them on their own. Every recommendation lands in a log, and each one links back to its source and the reasoning behind it. Nothing changes silently, and nothing replaces your team’s judgment. This is the AI your auditor will accept.
-
Nothing lands without sign-off.
Every risk, control, policy, or finding an agent suggests waits for a person to accept, edit, or reject before it becomes part of your program. Nothing is applied automatically.
-
A full audit trail, by default.
Every agent action is logged with who, what, and when, alongside the inputs it used. When an examiner asks how a decision was made, the record is already there.
-
Every recommendation cites its work.
Suggestions arrive with the regulatory citation and the reasoning behind them, so your team sees why an agent recommended something before deciding to keep it.
-
Grounded in real enforcement data.
Agents score risks and controls against recent enforcement actions across your industry, so you see what is most likely to appear in your next exam. Every recommendation rests on evidence.
The rules agents live by.
We’ve put these in writing and enforce them in the product. Our compliance and regulatory experts designed the agents with risk management in mind, and the system holds them to these rules.
-
Drafts only. Never
autonomous actions.No agent submits a filing, resolves an issue, or contacts a regulator without a named person approving it. Period.
-
Every action logged.
Input, output, the model and version used, the reviewer, any edits, and a timestamp. Examiners get the full chain on request.
-
Defined scope.
Each agent has a written charter and a defined scope, and it can only touch the data and actions inside it. No mystery copilot in the corner.
-
Practitioner-tuned.
Practitioners who have run compliance and risk at banks and fintechs wrote the rubrics we test the agents against. So the agents respond to real regulatory context rather than generic prompts.
Every workflow your team already runs. Now in one connected system.
Your compliance workflows, vendor onboarding, risk assessments, and reporting all run in one connected system. Do the work once and it carries through everywhere else. For example, a control you map or a finding you log shows up wherever it’s relevant, so nothing lives in a separate spreadsheet.
-
Compliance
Run your whole compliance program in one place: policies, regulatory change, filings and renewals, exam prep, and complaints. Playbooks built on real examination guides, plus continuous AI risk scans, keep you exam-ready all year instead of just in the weeks before an audit.
-
Enterprise Risk
A live risk register tied to how your business actually runs. Assessments feed a mapped control library, and every gap becomes a tracked issue with an owner and a due date.
-
Third-Party Risk
Manage the full vendor lifecycle from intake through offboarding. Vendors complete due diligence through a self-serve portal, and a purpose-built AI risk rubric scores each one so nothing slips through.
-
Audit
Plan audits from reusable templates, gather evidence, and produce examiner- ready reports in one workspace, with findings that flow straight into your issues queue.
-
Automated Compliance Monitoring
Continuous monitoring and testing across FCRA, ECOA/Reg B, SCRA, and MLA. Set your thresholds and Guardial's agents check them daily. Then, when a KRI crosses the line, they open an issue with the full rationale attached.
Reports that
build themselves.
Board packages, examiner binders, regulator scorecards, and operational digests, all generated from live data the day you need them. So nobody rebuilds them in PowerPoint every quarter.
Every audience, one click.
Guardial ships with FS-tailored report templates for board, examiner, regulator, vendor, and operational audiences. Each one generates from live data, so nothing gets rebuilt by hand.
-
