AI in regulated environments

Use AI where the rules are strict, with controls you can show.

We help teams in finance, health and other regulated fields set up AI use with masking, residency decisions, audit trails and policies. We build the controls. Your counsel decides what they mean legally.

[ 01 — WHAT YOU GET ]

Technical controls and clear paperwork.

Rules such as revDSG, GDPR and the EU AI Act shape what is allowed. We translate your legal team's decisions into working guardrails.

  • [ 01 ]

    AI use inventory

    A list of where AI is or will be used, which data it sees, the model and provider, and who owns each use.
  • [ 02 ]

    PII masking and redaction

    Names, account numbers and other identifiers are replaced before a prompt reaches a model, and restored only where allowed.
  • [ 03 ]

    Data residency and provider choice

    Documented decisions on where processing runs and which providers may be used for which data class.
  • [ 04 ]

    Audit trails

    Who asked what, which model answered, what the human decided. Retained for the period your rules require.
  • [ 05 ]

    Policies and training

    A short, usable AI policy and role-based training so staff know what is allowed with which data.

[ 02 — PROCESS ]

From inventory to working controls.

We work alongside your compliance, legal and IT roles.

  1. 01

    Inventory and data classes

    We list AI uses, including shadow use, and sort the data involved into classes with your compliance lead.1 to 2 weeks
  2. 02

    Decisions on paper

    We prepare the options for each use: provider, region, masking, retention. Your counsel reviews and decides.2 weeks
  3. 03

    Build the controls

    Masking layer, logging, access rules and approval steps, implemented for one pilot workflow.4 weeks
  4. 04

    Review routine

    A periodic check of logs, incidents and changes in rules or providers.Quarterly

[ 03 — USE CASES ]

Where controls make it possible.

Typical scenarios. None of these describe a specific client.

Client correspondence drafts

Today
Advisers cannot paste client mails into a chatbot.
With the workflow
Identifiers are masked, the model drafts, and the adviser restores names and checks the text before sending.

Case file summaries

Today
Summaries of long files are written manually.
With the workflow
A model in an approved region summarises with citations. Access and requests are logged.

Shadow AI clean-up

Today
Staff use personal accounts on public tools.
With the workflow
An approved tool with a clear policy replaces them, with usage visible to the AI owner.

[ 05 — QUESTIONS ]

What people ask about regulated AI.

Is this legal advice?

No. niivo provides technical and organisational guidance. Legal interpretation and compliance decisions rest with your counsel and your compliance function.

Can you make us compliant?

No one can promise that from the outside. We help you build controls and records that your compliance team can assess.

Does masking remove all personal data?

It reduces exposure, but it is not perfect. We test it on your real documents, report what it misses and combine it with access rules and provider choice.

Do you cover the EU AI Act?

We cover awareness and practical steps such as an inventory and risk-level sorting of your uses. The legal assessment stays with your counsel.

Where does our data go during this work?

We work on samples or masked data where we can, inside your environment. We agree the handling in writing before we start.
