Open RegTech for the AI-native trading floor.
Reign turns the FINOS AI Governance Framework into running code. Govern every model, agent, and trader copilot — sell-side or buy-side — with sovereign deployment and evidence built for the regulator.
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 11-7, 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 your regulator wants to see the controls.
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
The Fortress Family — Reign, Forge, and BioCompute — gives regulated enterprises the trust, runtime, and sovereign infrastructure they need to move at AI speed.
FINOS AIGF, Operationalized
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.

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
Forge 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 building Reign 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 packs, and the integrations — and get early access for trader copilots, research, surveillance, and ops AI.
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.
- FINOS AIGF, SR 11-7, OSFI E-23, MiFID II, EU AI Act control mappings
- Trade surveillance and communications archiving hooks built in
- Evidence packs in minutes — not the usual quarter-long scramble
CIO, COO, CRO, 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.”
