BRK // For Brokers · Trade Surveillance & Comms

Surveillance that catches the thing you'd actually be fined for.

Rule-based surveillance drowns compliance teams in alerts nobody has time to read. We build AI surveillance that ranks alerts by regulatory materiality, transcribes and screens every channel — including WhatsApp and Telegram — and produces the audit trail a regulator can follow.

The problem

The surveillance alert-fatigue problem.

Most trade surveillance stacks were built for a different era. They fire thousands of alerts a week, of which 98% are noise. Compliance teams triage the backlog, miss the two that actually mattered, and the regulator finds them a year later during a s.166.

Comms surveillance is worse. Half your dealers are on WhatsApp and Telegram; almost none of that traffic is captured, screened or retained the way MiFID II, FCA COBS 11.8 and ASIC RG 271 require.

What good looks like

What good surveillance looks like in 2026.

A layered system, not a monolithic tool:

  • Every trade screened by rule engines AND by a behavioural model that learns your normal.
  • Every alert ranked by regulatory materiality with a plain-English narrative before it hits a human.
  • Every comms channel — WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, email, voice — captured, transcribed, translated where needed, and screened against jurisdiction-specific obligations.
  • Every decision, model version and human override captured for regulator inspection.

Frequently asked

What buyers ask us about this build.

Q01Do we have to replace our surveillance vendor?+
No — we layer on top or run alongside. Full replacement is an option, not a requirement.

Through vendor-supported capture (Movius, LeapXpert, Symphony Federation) or via device-level MDM policies, depending on your setup. We architect the capture path with you.
Q03Which regulators is this designed against?+
MiFID II, FCA (COBS 11.8, SYSC), ASIC (RG 271), CySEC (Directive DI87-01), MAS, DFSA. We add jurisdictions as needed.
Q04How is comms data handled for GDPR?+
Data stays in your tenancy, region-restricted. Access is role-gated with full audit. Retention periods match the strictest applicable rule.
