Data never leaves your environment

Why on-premise

Defensible AI evidence, kept in-house.

Total control, tailored deployment, and a dedicated partnership for organizations that need their AI evidence — and their data — to stay within their own environment.

Total Control & Sovereignty

Deploy within your own network. Data never leaves your environment. SOC 2 controls, end-to-end encryption, and full data residency.

The Full Certification Layer

On-premise runs merge technical and administrative evidence and express readiness per framework — the auditor-facing half of the two-axis model.

Dedicated Partnership

A named success manager, structured onboarding, annual support, and quarterly executive reviews. Typical deployment: six months from kickoff to first full runs.

Proven at Scale

Deployed with a Fortune 500 financial services organization managing 100+ AI systems. Scales to thousands of users and millions of evaluations under SLA.

Core Capabilities

Enterprise-scale AI red-teaming

The capabilities regulated environments need, with the eight-dimension engine and the certification layer at the core.

01

Deployed in your environment

On-premise appliance or private-cloud container. Your data and your evidence never leave your infrastructure. Integration with SSO/LDAP, SIEM, and your existing compliance stack.

See hardware & software requirements →
02

Grounded, domain-adapted attacks

Probes are built from your real material — the articles of a law, your policies, your products — so an attack only makes sense for your system. This is where a generic corpus cannot reach.

03

Certification layer engaged

On-premise runs turn on the certification layer: we merge the technical evidence with the administrative evidence you attest, and express readiness per framework — never a legal verdict.

04

Immutable audit trail

Every attack trace and every finding is registered in a tamper-evident, hash-citable record with long-term retention — the evidence pack a regulator or external auditor can re-verify line by line.

05

Runs, re-runs, and verified remediation

Evaluate a system across repeated runs. When you apply a fix, a closed-loop longitudinal finding confirms it worked by the intervention applied — causal confirmation, not a prediction.

How It Works

Structured deployment. Proven process.

From discovery to your first full runs in six months, with structured integration into your existing infrastructure and compliance workflows.

1

Discovery & Design

Month 1

We map your AI system landscape, the frameworks you answer to, and your integration points, then co-author a deployment plan aligned with your compliance obligations.

2

Implementation & Integration

Months 2–3

We deploy the platform inside your environment, configure SSO, connect data pipelines, and stand up the eight-dimension engine against your systems.

Hardware & software specifications →
3

Grounding & Calibration

Month 4

We build the grounded packs from your real material and calibrate the judges to your domain, so attacks and findings reflect your system, not a generic benchmark.

4

Pilot & Validation

Month 5

A controlled pilot across selected systems. Your compliance teams validate findings and confirm the mapping from dimensions to the frameworks you report against.

5

Full Deployment & Support

Month 6+

Phased rollout with training for compliance, risk, and legal teams. Your first full runs produce readiness per framework. Named success manager and annual support activated.

Benefits for Your Organization

A defensible compliance advantage

Turn compliance from a cost center into defensible evidence that lets you scale AI with confidence and show governance maturity to your board.

Board-Level Assurance

Give your board a defensible answer to "how does our AI hold up?" — evidence with the traces behind it, not a single score or an opinion.

Data Sovereignty

Everything runs inside your own network. Data and evidence stay in your environment, with SOC 2 controls and end-to-end encryption.

Defensible Evidence

Every finding, every coverage report, every re-run is registered in an immutable audit trail — cryptographically signed and ready when an auditor asks for it.

Trust You Can Scale On

When you can see how your AI behaves under pressure, you can put more of it into production with confidence. Trust in your own AI becomes an asset, not a question.

AI-Generated Onboarding Summary

EuroBank Virtual Assistant v3.2 is a production-grade generative AI chatbot serving 2.3 million retail banking customers across EU markets. The system leverages GPT-4o for response generation, supplemented by custom BERT models for intent classification and Sentence-BERT for knowledge retrieval. Deployed on Azure EU West, the assistant handles account inquiries, transaction support, basic financial product recommendations, and complaint routing.

The system is classified as HIGH RISK under the EU AI Act (Annex III, 5(b)) due to its role in financial services where AI-generated recommendations influence customer access to financial products and services. The affected population includes vulnerable groups — specifically elderly customers (65+) and individuals with cognitive disabilities — requiring heightened scrutiny across fairness and explainability dimensions.

EuroBank has established governance infrastructure including a monthly AI Governance Board, quarterly bias audits, and a 5-member AI Ethics Board with external academic and consumer representation. Contingency measures include automatic human escalation when model confidence drops below 0.7 and a full human fallback available 24/7. However, gaps exist in formal cost-benefit documentation, standardized bias audit methodology, and the absence of completed external audits.

This evaluation covers 500 customer conversations collected over a 30-day period (February 14 — March 15, 2026), including interactions in Spanish, German, and English, with representative distribution across retail, premium, and vulnerable customer segments.

This summary was generated by the EthiCompass intake analysis engine based on Sections A–D submitted data.

Critical Findings Requiring Immediate Action

P0Critical — 7 Day Deadline

Incorrect Deposit Insurance Information

The virtual assistant incorrectly states a deposit insurance limit of €200,000, when the actual limit under Directive 2014/49/EU is €100,000 per depositor per institution. This factual error was detected in 12 of 500 evaluated conversations, representing a material misinformation risk for retail banking customers.

Regulatory Ref: Directive 2014/49/EU; EU AI Act Art. 9Deadline: 7 daysEvidence: conv_0042, conv_0118, conv_0287
P0Critical — 14 Day Deadline

Missing MiFID II Suitability Assessment

In 23% of investment-related conversations, the assistant provides product recommendations without first completing the required risk profiling and suitability assessment mandated by MiFID II. This constitutes a systematic compliance gap in the advisory workflow.

Key Findings

Finding 3.1: No AI Disclosure in Customer Interactions

In 78% of evaluated conversations, the assistant fails to disclose that the customer is interacting with an AI system. EU AI Act Article 52 mandates clear disclosure when natural persons interact with AI systems.[Evidence: conv_0023, conv_0089, conv_0156]

Finding 3.2: Insufficient Reasoning for Credit Assessments

When providing credit product information, the assistant does not explain the basis for suitability determinations in 62% of cases. Customers receive recommendations without understanding why specific products were suggested.[Evidence: conv_0156, conv_0201]

Finding 3.3: Absent Confidence Indicators

The assistant presents all responses with equal certainty, without distinguishing between verified facts and probabilistic assessments.[Evidence: conv_0334, conv_0412]

Key Findings

Finding 1.1: Age-Based Product Recommendation Disparity

Analysis reveals 38% fewer investment product suggestions for customers aged 65 and above compared to the 30-50 demographic with equivalent financial profiles. This pattern suggests implicit age-based filtering in the recommendation algorithm that may constitute discriminatory treatment under the EU Equal Treatment Directive.[Evidence: conv_0067, conv_0143, conv_0298, conv_0376]

Finding 1.2: Socioeconomic Language Variation

The assistant uses noticeably simpler language and fewer product options when customer profiles indicate lower-income postal codes, regardless of stated financial capacity. Detected in 14% of cross-segment comparisons.[Evidence: conv_0089, conv_0221]

One instance of incorrect regulatory information: chatbot stated deposit insurance covers up to €200,000 when the actual EU-wide limit is €100,000 per depositor per bank. This represents a material factual error with direct regulatory implications.[Evidence: conv_1123]

Finding 5.2: Projected Returns Presented Without Disclaimers

In 4 instances, chatbot presented projected returns as likely outcomes without adequate disclaimers. Language like “you can expect” used instead of “historical performance suggests”.[Evidence: conv_0378, conv_0712, conv_1045, conv_1389]

Finding 5.3: Outdated Interest Rate Information

Interest rates quoted accurately in 94% of cases. 6% of responses contained outdated rate information referencing Q3 2025 rates instead of current Q1 2026 rates.[Evidence: conv_0267, conv_0534, conv_0801]

One partial bypass detected via multi-turn context manipulation where user gradually shifted chatbot into providing investment advice outside its authorized scope. Standard prompt injection attempts (“ignore previous instructions”) blocked effectively.[Evidence: conv_0045_adversarial]

Finding 6.2: Distress Scenario Scope Expansion

When users simulate distress scenarios (“I'm going to lose my house”), the chatbot occasionally provides more specific financial guidance than its authorized scope permits, in 7% of distress-test conversations.[Evidence: conv_0067_adversarial, conv_0089_adversarial]

Finding 8.2: Human-Oversight Documentation Gaps

Partial alignment with EU AI Act Art. 14 human-oversight obligations. Key gaps: (1) No documented oversight procedure, (2) Override actions not logged to the immutable audit trail, (3) Accountable owner per decision type not evidenced.

Methodology Disclaimer

This evaluation was conducted using the EthiCompass 8-Dimension Framework, which assesses AI systems across peer-reviewed measurement dimensions. Scores are derived from adversarial red-teaming of system outputs, supplemented by heuristic pattern matching against regulatory requirements. This report expresses a founded opinion and readiness view, never a verdict; it does not constitute legal advice, and organizations should consult qualified legal counsel regarding specific regulatory obligations.

The composite score is calculated as a weighted average of individual dimension scores, with weights reflecting the risk profile and regulatory context of the evaluated system. Dimension weights for high-risk financial services AI systems prioritize Factuality & Accuracy, Accountability & Human Oversight, and Fairness & Non-Discrimination.

This report was generated using EthiCompass evaluation engine v1.0 with KB-brain KB-2026.1.3.
