calQrisk Joins FCA Supercharged Sandbox to Revolutionize AI-Powered Executive Assurance

Quick Summary

calQrisk has been selected for the FCA Supercharged Sandbox to accelerate AI-powered executive assurance. By integrating fragmented data, the platform provides continuous regulatory visibility for senior managers, ensuring compliance with frameworks like the SMCR while leveraging the UK regulator's advanced computing infrastructure and synthetic datasets.

How Does calQrisk Solve Fragmented Compliance Data?

Fragmented governance data often prevents senior executives from having a clear, real-time view of their regulatory responsibilities. calQrisk solves this by connecting disparate data sources across systems and business functions to provide continuous regulatory assurance. This approach ensures that Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR) obligations are met through automated, real-time oversight rather than manual, periodic reporting.

• Connects fragmented data sources into a single environment.
• Assesses real-time risk changes and regulatory shifts.
• Delivers personalized executive assurance to decision-makers.

What Results Has the FCA Supercharged Sandbox Delivered?

By joining the FCA Supercharged Sandbox, calQrisk gains access to advanced computing infrastructure and synthetic financial datasets to stress-test its AI capabilities. This environment allows for the validation of next-generation GRC technology within a safe, regulated framework. The company currently serves almost 300 organisations globally, and this partnership aims to scale its enterprise risk management solutions for the most complex financial institutions.

• Access to FCA regulatory expertise and infrastructure.
• Validation of AI explainability models for compliance.
• Support for 300 global clients across regulated sectors.

How Does This AI Support Senior Manager Accountability?

The core focus of this development is continuous accountability assurance, specifically designed for the high-stakes environment of regulated financial services. Unlike general AI, this technology prioritizes transparency and evidence, ensuring that every insight surfaced is auditable and governed. This allows governance and compliance professionals to strengthen oversight without losing control of their proprietary data.

“Regulated organisations already hold the information they need to demonstrate good governance. The challenge is that it is rarely connected in a way that gives senior decision-makers continuous visibility of their responsibilities. Participation in the FCA Supercharged Sandbox enables us to work alongside the regulator as we develop AI capabilities that help organisations transform fragmented governance data into meaningful, real-time assurance. Our focus is on helping customers make better decisions using their own trusted information within secure, governed and auditable processes.” said Chris Hanlon, CEO of calQrisk.

FF NEWS TAKE:

This announcement definitely moves the needle for regulatory technology. By moving away from general-purpose AI toward AI-powered executive assurance, calQrisk is addressing the specific 'black box' fears regulators have. Participation in the FCA Supercharged Sandbox gives calQrisk a massive head start in defining what 'good' looks like for AI in the SMCR era, potentially setting the standard for how senior managers prove accountability in a digital-first world.
