Turning Regulatory Complexity into Compliance Intelligence.

Together, Cognizant and Squirro empower financial institutions to connect regulatory change to internal controls, implementation actions, audit evidence, and board reporting in real time.

Risk & Compliance Intelligence HubRegulatory change, connected to controls, actions, evidence, and board reporting
Compliance teamA new regulatory circular came in this morning. Which of our policies and controls does it affect, and what has to change?
Working through the four stages
Regulatory intelligence: circular added to the source registry, applicability checked by entity, product, and business line
Interpretation: requirements structured into reviewable obligations
Gap validation: one AI-flagged gap to confirm before policy drafting
Implementation: approved action routed to the GRC workflow for SME review
Squirro

The circular changes the obligations of the business lines it applies to. The internal policies and controls it touches are listed below, each with a citation to its source artifact.12

One gap between the new obligation and the current policy is flagged for SME review before any policy is drafted.23

The Partnership

Beyond Managing Regulatory Information. Toward Compliance Intelligence.

A team meeting in a glass meeting room under warm pendant lights
Financial Services · Risk & ComplianceAI trusted by central banks
The ChallengeWeeks-long regulatory impact assessments and time-consuming compliance response. Weak audit readiness with often untraceable, unexplainable AI outputs. Wide gaps between regulatory change and internal policy update. Manual, error-prone compliance and remediation activities. Elevated operational and compliance risk.
Our SolutionA managed, intelligence-driven compliance capability for financial institutions. It combines Squirro’s enterprise retrieval and knowledge capabilities with Cognizant’s deep regulatory, risk, and transformation expertise to drive business outcomes at scale. It transforms insights into action by automating compliance workflows, strengthening controls, accelerating remediation, and enabling proactive risk management.
Already ProvenA similar solution is already deployed at IDB Invest, Security Benefit, Candriam, and Deutsche Bundesbank, and proven in the most demanding supervisory environments.
Outcome 01

Hours, Not Weeks.

Regulatory impact assessment time drops from weeks to hours.

Outcome 02

Less Manual Effort.

Compliance and remediation activities are automated, freeing up FTEs.

Outcome 03

Stronger Audit Readiness.

AI outputs are traceable and explainable.

Outcome 04

Faster Compliance Response.

Compliance response speeds up, and the gap between regulatory change and internal policy update closes.

How It Works

Four Stages, from Regulatory Change to Board Reporting.

The hub is a secure, auditable, AI-powered intelligence layer that sits above your compliance and risk content. Cognizant provides the regulatory and control expertise that shapes the review.

01

Regulatory Intelligence

Source registry curation. Applicability logic: deciding which rules apply to which entities, products, and business lines across dozens of jurisdictions. Risk-based triage: helping the bank prioritize which regulatory changes and alerts matter most.

02

Interpretation, Policy, and Design

Regulatory intent interpretation. Requirements structured into reviewable obligations. Gap validation, confirming AI-flagged gaps before policy drafting.

03

Implementation

Approved insight connected to action through GRC and ITSM integration. SME review orchestration in a human-in-the-loop workflow, with reviewers, SLAs, and escalation paths.

04

Regulatory Assurance

AI-sourced evidence packaged into audit-ready form for examiners. A KRI dashboard with trend lines and threshold alerts for board reporting. Auto-generated audit reports with a full source trail.

Validated actions flow into the institution’s existing GRC, workflow, or IT service management environment.

Key Capabilities

A Secure, Auditable Intelligence Layer.

The hub sits above a bank’s or insurer’s compliance and risk content landscape.

Unified Discovery Across policies, procedures, audit findings, risk events, incidents, regulatory circulars, and controls evidence.
Grounded Q&A and Summarization With traceable citations to source artifacts: RAG patterns and a retriever-first approach.
Deterministic, Domain-Aware Retrieval Knowledge graphs and GraphRAG reduce hallucinations and improve precision for regulated use cases.
Downstream Orchestration Validated actions move into the institution’s existing GRC, workflow, or IT service management environment.
