Open RegTech for the AI-native trading floor.
Reign is built for the FINOS AI Governance Framework. Govern every model, agent, and trader copilot, sell-side or buy-side, with sovereign deployment and a record of what happened.
Trading desks want LLMs. Risk and compliance want evidence. You need both. Yesterday.
Capital markets firms are racing to deploy AI on the desk, in research, in surveillance, and across operations. But MRM groups built for VaR and credit scorecards aren't ready for non-deterministic LLMs and multi-step agents. You can't ship trader copilots if the regulator can't see what they did.
SR 26-2, OSFI E-23, and the FCA's model risk principles all expect evidence for AI. Not just for analytic models.
MiFID II and best-execution obligations don't pause because an LLM is in the loop.
Trade surveillance, sanctions screening and KYC are being rebuilt on AI, and the controls around them come under supervisory review.
Sell-side and buy-side firms are deploying agents with tool access to OMS, EMS, and market-data systems with no governance layer.
Public LLM endpoints are off-limits for material non-public information, client orders, and proprietary alpha.
Vendor-locked AI governance creates the same systemic risk regulators are trying to prevent.
How iTmethods serves capital markets
Reign. Governed AI. Outcomes assured. Built for regulated enterprises that need the trust, runtime, and sovereign infrastructure to move at AI speed.
Built for FINOS AIGF
Reign maps to the FINOS AI Governance Framework controls. Open, vendor-neutral, and extensible by your firm.
Trader Copilot Governance
Govern Cursor, Copilot, and proprietary research copilots with prompt logging, MNPI redaction, and trade-surveillance hooks.
Shadow AI Discovery
AI Gateway gives compliance and InfoSec a single view of every model, prompt, and agent across the firm.
Evidence on Demand
Continuous, tamper-evident audit trails packaged for OSFI, the OCC, the FCA, the SEC, FINRA, and EU NCAs.
Sovereign Foundation Models
Run open-weight models on your tenant or data centre. No client orders, no MNPI, no alpha leaving the perimeter.
Three-Lines Friendly
Front office, second-line risk, and third-line audit work from the same evidence. Three views, one source of truth.
Products purpose-built for your stack
Pick what you need. Run it where you need it. Govern everything from one control plane.
Built for the regulations you actually face
Evidence is generated automatically. Auditors, regulators, and internal risk teams get what they need. Without your engineers writing another spreadsheet.
Built for the FINOS AI Governance Framework. Reign maps to its controls and records what happened on every prompt and tool call.
Extend model-risk management to LLMs, agents, and embedded AI. Not just analytic models.
Best execution, record-keeping, and order-handling controls preserved when AI enters the workflow.
High-risk classification mapping for credit, fraud, HR, and client-suitability AI systems.
Trade surveillance, communications archiving, and model-risk evidence aligned with SEC and FINRA expectations.
Operational resilience, third-party AI vendor risk, and incident reporting baked into the platform.
Where teams in capital markets are starting
Trader & PM copilots
Govern desk-side LLM assistants with prompt logging, MNPI redaction, and trade-surveillance integration.
Research automation
Sovereign foundation models drafting research, summarizing earnings calls, and parsing filings. Fully attributable.
Trade surveillance & ops AI
Agentic AI triaging alerts, normalizing settlements, and reconciling exceptions under continuous audit.
KYC / AML / sanctions
Reign governs LLM-assisted KYC, sanctions screening, and SAR drafting with regulator-grade evidence.
Quant developer productivity
Reign Ops runs the secure CI/CD platform; Reign governs Cursor, Copilot, and internal MCP servers used by quants.
Buy-side diligence agents
Multi-step agents synthesizing CIMs, data rooms, and earnings. Running inside your VPC, never your competitor's.
Become a design partner. Help operationalize the FINOS AI Governance Framework.
We are designing Reign Assurance as Open RegTech with a small cohort of sell-side and buy-side firms and FINOS AIGF contributors. Cohort members shape the controls, the evidence and the integrations across trader copilots, research, surveillance and operations.
Outcomes we are targeting with the cohort
These are the outcomes the design partner cohort is working toward together. Not historical claims. Co-developed targets, transparently tracked.
Front office, research, & quants
Sanctioned, fast LLM and agent access for the desk, research, and ops. Without sending alpha or client orders to public endpoints.
- Trader and PM copilots with MNPI redaction and prompt logging
- Sovereign foundation models running on your tenant or on-prem
- MCP-governed agents for surveillance, ops, KYC, and ticket triage
Compliance, risk, & internal audit
Continuous evidence aligned with how OSFI, the OCC, the FCA, the SEC, FINRA, and EU NCAs actually examine.
- Control mappings designed with your compliance function
- Trade surveillance and communications archiving hooks built in
- Evidence assembled from records already captured
CIO, COO, Chief Risk Officer, and the board
An AI strategy that is open, defensible, and won't be unwound by the regulator or your auditor mid-cycle.
- Open RegTech. No single-vendor lock-in for systemic AI controls
- Sovereign deployment options for the most sensitive workloads
- Co-developed roadmap shaped by Tier-1 banks and FINOS contributors
“Capital markets cannot ship AI that compliance cannot evidence, risk cannot govern, or the regulator cannot examine. The cohort is being built so the front office, the second line, and the third line can finally move in step.”

Frequently asked questions
- Which capital-markets regulations does Reign address?
- Reign Assurance is being designed for the vocabulary of MiFID II best execution, DORA (EU, 2025) and the EU AI Act, alongside SEC and CFTC examination expectations. Mapping to your own control framework is joint work with your compliance function and counsel.
- How does Reign support trading-model governance?
- Reign Assurance is being designed to hold an approved-model registry with version control, change-control records, drift detection and validation checks. Reign Gateway records each governed model and agent call today, which is what trade-decision provenance would be reconstructed from.
- Can Reign govern surveillance-model AI?
- Yes. Reign Gateway applies identity-bound policy at the call layer for models and agents used inside surveillance workflows, and records each governed call. Reign Assurance is being designed to relate those records to alert generation, suppression and analyst action.
- How does Reign relate to DORA operational-resilience requirements?
- Reign Gateway records model and tool calls, deployment changes and third-party model dependencies today. Reign Assurance is being designed to draw an evidence package from that same capture, built for the vocabulary of DORA (EU, 2025) and the EU AI Act.
- Does Reign work with FINOS Open RegTech tooling?
- Yes. Reign is built on the FINOS Open RegTech architecture, CDM, Morphir, DRR, AIGF, so requirements turn into runtime controls and produce machine-readable evidence as a byproduct of normal operations, rather than a compliance side-project.
- How do capital-markets organizations engage Reign today?
- Reign is being hardened with a small set of Tier 1 design partners through 2026. Ninety-day pilots. Reign Ops (Managed Runtime + Modern DevOps) runs in production today. Capital-markets organizations interested in Reign apply at /pilot.
