Use Case: Financial Services
Compliant-by-default AI governance for fintech and banking.
Financial services teams operate under MaRisk, BaFin, GDPR, and DORA requirements. Qadar AI provides policy controls, immutable audit logs, and EU data residency so AI governance meets regulatory expectations from day one.
The problems
Three risks financial services teams face with AI adoption
Shadow AI exposure
Employees use AI tools with client data, transaction records, and financial models. Uncontrolled AI usage creates regulatory exposure under MaRisk and DORA that existing controls do not cover.
Customer data in public LLMs
Client names, account details, and financial information enter public AI models through prompts. No classification, no redaction, no audit trail. Every uncontrolled prompt is a potential regulatory incident.
Audit trail gaps
BaFin and external auditors expect documented AI governance with immutable evidence. Most teams have event logs at best — no structured policy outcomes, no classification decisions, no approval records.
The Qadar AI approach
How Qadar AI meets financial services governance requirements
Policy controls (MaRisk)
Enforce AI governance policies that align with MaRisk requirements for IT risk management. Policy enforcement happens before data reaches the model, with classification and redaction controls for financial data categories.
Immutable audit logs (BaFin)
Every AI interaction produces an append-only audit entry with policy outcome, classification decision, and timestamp. Audit evidence is structured, immutable, and exportable for BaFin review and external audit.
EU data residency (GDPR/DORA)
Processing and audit storage can be scoped to EU-region infrastructure. No cross-border routing without explicit policy configuration. Data residency controls support GDPR and DORA requirements for financial data handling.
How it works
Three steps to compliant AI governance
Deploy governance controls
Roll out Shield Web and Shield Desktop to your teams. Financial data classifiers and policy templates are pre-configured for common regulatory requirements.
Enforce regulatory-aligned policy
Configure policies in Shield Control that align with MaRisk, DORA, and GDPR requirements. Approval gates, classification rules, and data handling controls are enforced at runtime.
Produce audit evidence
Export structured audit trails for BaFin review, external audit, and internal compliance reporting. Evidence is always current, immutable, and ready for regulatory inspection.
