AI Security Built for the Regulatory Reality of Financial Services
Financial services firms face the strictest AI governance requirements of any industry — from the EU AI Act to DORA to MAS TRM. Kovral is purpose-built for regulated finance.
AI in financial services is subject to overlapping regulatory frameworks, each with specific requirements for risk management, transparency, and audit trails.
🏦
EU AI Act Compliance
Financial services AI systems are high-risk under Annex III. Kovral automates the required documentation, conformity assessments, and post-deployment monitoring.
🔒
DORA Readiness
The Digital Operational Resilience Act requires ICT risk management for financial entities. Kovral maps AI risks to DORA requirements and provides continuous evidence collection.
📋
MAS TRM Alignment

Model Risk Management
US OCC/FRB SR 11-7 model risk management guidance applies to AI models used in credit, fraud, and risk decisions. Kovral provides the monitoring and documentation SR 11-7 requires.
FAQ
Common Questions
The US OCC/FRB SR 11-7 guidance requires financial firms to maintain a model inventory, conduct validation testing, monitor model performance, and maintain documentation for all models used in consequential decisions. Kovral's Model Inventory and Use Cases modules address the inventory and documentation requirements; the Red Team Testing module addresses validation; and the AI Posture dashboard addresses ongoing monitoring. Kovral works alongside your existing MRM framework, not as a replacement.
Yes. Financial services AI systems used in credit scoring, insurance underwriting, and fraud detection are classified as high-risk under EU AI Act Annex III. High-risk requirements include: technical documentation, risk management system, data governance, transparency obligations, human oversight, and accuracy monitoring. Kovral's compliance module provides templates and automated evidence collection for each requirement, and the Use Cases module tracks conformity assessment status for each high-risk system.
Kovral protects the AI systems your firm uses (your chatbots, advisors, and decision models) from being manipulated by attackers. This includes detecting prompt injection in customer-facing AI, monitoring for unusual agent behaviour in automated processes, and scanning for sensitive data leakage. For AI-powered fraud detection systems, Kovral's Red Team module tests the model's robustness against adversarial inputs — ensuring attackers can't manipulate the fraud model itself.
From Fortune 500 CISOs to fast-growing AI startups — teams protecting AI at scale choose Kovral.
