Surveillance has evolved in response to tougher regulations. Now, regulatory demands to monitor the intentions behind employee behavior is driving a shift to solutions that can replace alert-based methodologies. Our Conduct Surveillance solution combines analyses of behaviors, intentions, and emotions to better identify and mitigate conduct risk.
Digital Reasoning pioneered AI-enabled communications analytics for compliance, enabling the world’s leading institutions accurately monitor intent at scale. We’re continuing to lead the way, with integrated analytics and employee profiles that allow the three lines of defense to proactively mitigate conduct risk and manage company culture.
Understands human communication
Our patented AI combines Machine Learning and Natural Language Understanding, allowing it to continually adapt to changing language, domain-specific terms, nuance, and context.
Analyze behaviors and intentions
Latest regulations require banks to identify intent. Structured data can reveal behavioral anomalies, but only communications data can explain the reasons behind employee actions.
Human-Centric Insights
Conduct Surveillance accumulates insights from structured and unstructured data to build a 360 profiles of employees and their connections, exposing conduct risk in exceptional detail.
AI with an ROI
Conduct Surveillance delivers a proven ROI through more productive workflows, reduced risk, and lower cost of ownership. It also delivers insights that benefit the wider business.
The “blank check” era of compliance spending is over. A product of the financial crisis, scandals, and tougher legislation, today bank bosses need to control spending while meeting the demands of MiFID II, MAR, Dodd-Frank. Mitigating conduct risk requires more sophisticated surveillance, but budgets are under pressure across the three lines of defense.
Digital Reasoning helps banks achieve rapid return-on-investment when upgrading surveillance technology. Not only is our Conduct Surveillance independently proven to deliver a double return within four months, it also provides insights that are mitigating risks and revealing hidden opportunities in the profit centers of the business.
Manage conduct alongside culture
Conduct Surveillance provides objective measures of the gap between cultural codes and true behaviors, creating work environments where ethics are intrinsic rather than enforced.
Mitigate customer risks
Monitoring of customer communications for complaints is helping enterprises identify at-risk customers and target service improvements, as well as meeting GDPR and CFPB rules.
Identify customer opportunities
The analytics that power Conduct Surveillance can be extended to explore customer communications, delivering insights that accelerate customer-centric data strategies.
From sunk cost to strategic investment
Communications insights can be deployed across the business. Employees become more effective and efficient. Management gains better understanding of risks and opportunities.
Financial institutions are determined to protect their most valuable asset – their reputation – and are forging an ethical culture where responsible behavior is intrinsic rather than enforced. Leaders across the three lines of defense are facilitating this strategy by advancing a human-centric approach to the management of conduct risk and culture.
Conduct Surveillance provides deep insights into conduct risk and objective measures of the gap between cultural codes and true behaviors. Accumulated into employee profiles, analysts can understand the ‘why’ behind employee actions. Taking a human-centric approach to surveillance extends the benefits of compliance to support corporate goals.
Behavior doesn’t tell the full story
Analysis of structured data can tell you ‘who’, ‘what’, and ‘when’, but AI-enabled communications analytics allows you to go deep into the ‘why’ and ‘how’.
Human-Centric Insights
Conduct Surveillance accumulates insights from structured and unstructured data to build a 360 profiles of employees and their connections, exposing conduct risk in exceptional detail.
Measure corporate culture
It can be hard to gauge the effectiveness of conduct and cultural policies. Human-centric insights reveal the true impact, for individuals and to track change across the business.
Business-wide benefits
Better understanding of employees, their engagement with policies, and ethical trends helps to inform management strategies to develop better working environments.
Regulators have declared that establishing intent in cases of misconduct or market abuse is often crucial to successful enforcements. They also acknowledge that capturing these insights can be difficult. For years, compliance organizations financial institutions have struggled with flawed lexicon analytics tools as they try to find evidence of intent.
Digital Reasoning has built the world’s most advanced system for understanding human language. Built into our Conduct Surveillance solution, our proprietary Natural Language Understanding (NLU) technology outperforms rivals by going deeper into communications data and identifying language that reveals into sentiment, emotions, and intentions
Words matter
Conduct risk is revealed in communications, but lexicon analytics are imprecise. We pioneered the cognitive systems trusted by leading banks to deliver an accurate analysis.
But context is king
Meaning changes according to context. Our Conduct Surveillance solution knows when “let’s take this offline” is an innocuous deferral or an attempt to collude in secrecy.
Deep understanding with NLU
We’re continuing to lead, investing in award-winning and patented NLU that delivers the benchmark in language understanding and outperforms commoditized NLP technology.
Trained by your own experts
The risks facing your organization are best understood by your own experts. Our easy-to-use model training tool transfers their knowledge into AI analytics models in record time.
