Data security in financial regulation
An international financial institution with more than 2,000 employees checks GDPR, BaFin and EBA requirements with local AI: security and compliance audits 40% faster.
Background
An internationally active financial institution with more than 2,000 employees had to meet growing data protection and financial regulation requirements at the same time. Manual security and compliance reviews were slow, error-prone and could not keep pace with the growing volume of sensitive documents. It needed a reliable, AI-assisted solution that checks data protection policies automatically, lowers risk and speeds up audits.
The challenge
The financial sector is bound by strict rules such as GDPR, BaFin requirements and EBA standards.
Manual data protection and security reviews were time-consuming.
Human error with sensitive data meant high risk.
Regulatory requirements kept growing, nationally and internationally.
Document volumes from internal and external systems grew steadily.
A single irregularity could trigger heavy fines and reputational damage.
The solution
The institution uses the Sinabox as its platform for automated data security and compliance reviews. The Sinabis Assistant analyses documents locally on the appliance, detects security-relevant content, identifies risks and produces verifiable audit reports. The data never leaves the network.
