By Leandra Monteiro

Shield, solving communication compliance for financial institutions, announced the release of Shield. Supervision, as part of Shield. Proactive, a suite of AI-powered, risk monitoring solutions.

Regulated financial services are struggling to keep up with ever-growing communication monitoring requirements while also catering to the risk management needs and policies of different teams within their organization. By utilizing the power of Shield’s end-to-end compliance platform, organizations can build a more comprehensive monitoring program with tools to:

• Expand risk monitoring coverage at scale
• Efficiently manage supervision workloads, escalations and reporting
• Gain actionable insights into unseen risk for stakeholders across the organization

“While most supervisory programs for communications monitoring are non-strategic and inefficient, Shield. Supervision offers an effective, risk-focused layer of coverage,” said Shield, Co-founder and CEO, Shiran Weitzman. “One of the biggest challenges in the first line of defense is wasting valuable supervisory resources on irrelevant communications. Through Shield’s advanced AI, automation, and unique multi-layered approach, organizations can get ahead of risk, drastically reduce their manual workload, and uncover hidden risk according to their priorities.”

Shield enables compliance teams in financial services and other highly regulated industries to read between the lines to see what their employee communications are really saying. Many of these organisations struggle with compliance because they are unable to gain visibility into the mass of scattered data across all of their communication channels to mitigate against market abuse, internal bad actors and increasing regulatory risk. By applying advanced AI, NLP, and visualization capabilities, Shield is enabling enterprises and financial institutions to more effectively manage and mitigate communications compliance risks.
