Frontier models inside a supervised control environment
Regulated financial firms are not blocked from using modern AI — they are blocked from using it without evidence. Shield routes every request through one supervised path: customer and position data minimized before dispatch, only approved models under documented zero-retention terms, residency-aware routing, and attributable records that fold into your existing surveillance, recordkeeping, and model risk programs.
The exposure that worries examiners
- Customer identifiers and account detail entered into consumer assistants.
- Deal, position, or trading intent summarized through an ungoverned tool.
- Unapproved models embedded in vendor SaaS with no third-party assessment.
- AI-assisted client communications outside supervision and archiving.
- No inventory of which models are in production, at which version.
What Shield puts in place
- One dispatcher for people and applications, tied to corporate identity and entitlements.
- Sensitive-field minimization before any request leaves the perimeter.
- Model allow-listing with documented retention terms and residency constraints.
- Immutable, attributable logs that feed surveillance and recordkeeping.
- A live model inventory mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and EU AI Act obligations.

Frequently asked questions
Can regulated firms use public model providers?
Yes, with the same rigor applied to any third-party processor: documented terms, no training on firm or customer data, defined residency, monitored access, and evidence of supervision. A gateway makes those conditions enforceable per request rather than per contract.
How does this support supervision and recordkeeping duties?
Every request is attributed to an identity and retained on your terms, so AI-assisted communications and analyses fall inside your existing surveillance and recordkeeping programs.
What about model risk management?
Routing gives you a live inventory of which models are approved and in use, with version-level records — the input model risk frameworks assume you already have.
Can we keep data in a specific jurisdiction?
Yes. Routing policies are residency-aware, so requests only reach models hosted in regions you have approved.
