What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, our manual compliance checks for SEC Rule 17a-4 records were eating up 15 hours a week, and we nearly missed a quarterly Form ADV filing deadline last year. Their custom AI system automated our books and records keeping and flagged a potential FINRA Rule 3110 supervisory lapse before it escalated—saved us from a $50,000 fine during our routine exam. It's like having an extra chief compliance officer on staff.""
Sarah Jenkins
Chief Compliance Officer, Apex Wealth Management LLC
""Integrating their AI for client data privacy under GDPR Article 5 transformed our cross-border wealth management headaches into a non-issue. We handled a €150 million merger advisory for EU clients without a hitch, and the immutable audit trail was flawless during our SOC 2 Type II review last quarter. Revenue from international high-net-worth clients jumped 20% in six months, all thanks to the secure, pseudonymized workflows.""
Michael Torres
Managing Director, Horizon Global Finance Partners
""As a boutique firm, HIPAA compliance under 45 CFR § 164.312 for health-tied financial plans like long-term care annuities was overwhelming. AIQ's automation applied automatic encryption to PHI in portfolio data and generated DOL-ready reports that passed our first ERISA audit with zero findings in under 30 days. We've added five new advisor clients since implementation, without the usual regulatory worries.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your AI automation ensure HIPAA compliance for financial advisors dealing with health-related plans?
Our systems incorporate HIPAA-compliant encryption and access controls from the ground up, treating client health data like a fortified legal vault. We use end-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access ensuring only authorized advisors view sensitive info. Automated logging creates detailed audit trails that withstand scrutiny, and we align with HHS guidelines to prevent breaches. In one project, this setup helped a firm pass a surprise audit with zero findings, reducing their compliance workload by 50%. Regular updates keep pace with OCR enforcement trends, giving you peace of mind in hybrid financial-health advising.
What makes your SOC 2 integrations different for financial firms?
Unlike generic tools, we build SOC 2 Type II controls directly into the automation fabric, focusing on financial-specific controls like trust services criteria for security and privacy. This includes automated monitoring for availability and confidentiality, with alerts for any anomalies in advisory data flows. We've helped firms achieve certification in under 90 days by pre-embedding evidence collection—think of it as wiring compliance into the building's foundation rather than bolting it on later. Clients see a 35% drop in audit prep time, and our immutable logs provide irrefutable proof during examinations, far surpassing the superficial compliance of off-the-shelf platforms.
Can your AI handle SEC and FINRA regulatory updates automatically?
Yes, our custom AI includes adaptive modules that monitor regulatory feeds from sources like the SEC's EDGAR and FINRA alerts, automatically updating workflows to reflect changes—such as new Rule 204A-1 requirements for investment adviser records. This proactive approach flags non-compliant processes in real-time, like incomplete communication logs, preventing violations before they occur. For instance, a mid-sized advisory firm using our system navigated the 2023 SEC marketing rule updates seamlessly, avoiding penalties that hit competitors. We provide quarterly compliance tunings, ensuring your automations remain robust amid the industry's shifting sands, without manual overhauls.
How do you protect against data privacy risks in client portfolio automations?
We design privacy by default, using GDPR and CCPA-aligned anonymization techniques to mask PII during AI processing of portfolios. Every automation features granular consent tracking and data minimization, ensuring only necessary info is accessed—like stripping identifiers from trend analyses. Encryption meets AES-256 standards, and we conduct penetration testing to simulate breaches. A recent client, handling high-net-worth portfolios, reported zero privacy incidents post-implementation, with their system blocking 95% of potential unauthorized accesses automatically. This layered defense turns data privacy from a liability into a competitive edge for client retention.
What if our firm needs custom integrations for existing financial software?
Our builders create deep, API-driven integrations with tools like Salesforce CRM, QuickBooks, or Bloomberg terminals, ensuring compliant data syncing without exposing vulnerabilities. We map your workflows to embed regulatory checks—such as FINRA-compliant transaction logging—directly into these connections. No brittle middleware; just robust, owned code that handles high-volume advisory data securely. One firm integrated our AI with their legacy estate planning software, automating ERISA filings and cutting errors by 80%. We test for compliance at every layer, providing you with a unified system that's as reliable as a well-drafted contract, scalable for future growth.
How quickly can we see ROI from secure AI automation in our advisory practice?
Most clients realize ROI within 3-6 months through slashed compliance costs and gained efficiency. For example, automating manual SEC filings saves 20-30 hours per advisor monthly, translating to $10,000+ in billable time recapture at standard rates. Reduced fine risks add indirect savings—industry averages show $200,000 avoided per prevented violation. Our phased rollout minimizes disruption, with quick wins like instant audit reports delivering value from week one. Long-term, firms report 25% AUM growth from confident scaling, proving this isn't just compliance—it's a strategic asset propelling your practice forward in a regulated landscape.
