Compliance Monitoring
Compliance monitoring is the ongoing review of communications, transactions, and documents against regulatory and internal policy requirements to catch violations early. Delivered as a managed service, an AI system continuously screens this activity and surfaces flagged items to a compliance officer instead of relying on periodic manual audits.
01The problem compliance teams describe
Compliance officers in regulated industries are often stuck sampling a small percentage of communications, transactions, or documents for review because reading everything manually is not feasible. A violation buried in the 95 percent that never gets reviewed can surface months later as a costly finding during an audit.
Regulations also change. Keeping monitoring rules current with the latest guidance is a full-time task on its own, and most compliance teams are already stretched managing case reviews and reporting deadlines.
02What manual sampling costs
A compliance analyst reviewing communications manually typically covers 5 to 10 percent of total volume given time constraints, spending 3 to 6 hours a day on review. At $40 to $60 an hour loaded cost, a two-person compliance team runs $12,000 to $20,000 a month while still missing the majority of activity.
The cost of a missed violation is harder to average but consistently larger: regulatory fines and remediation costs for findings that trace back to unreviewed activity commonly run into six figures, separate from reputational damage.
03How the monitoring works
- Step 01
Connect data sources
The system connects to email, Slack, CRM notes, and transaction logs through existing APIs, covering the full volume rather than a sample.
- Step 02
Screen continuously
An AI model trained on your policy set screens every item as it is created, flagging language, transaction patterns, or missing disclosures that match risk criteria.
- Step 03
Prioritize findings
Flags are scored by severity so the compliance officer sees the highest-risk items first instead of a flat list.
- Step 04
Route for review
High-priority flags create a case in the compliance team's existing case management tool with full context attached.
- Step 05
Report and adjust
Lingows monitors model performance monthly as part of the managed service, tuning rules as regulations or business processes change.

| Systems commonly involved | Microsoft 365, Slack, Salesforce, internal case management tools |
| Typical coverage increase | From 5 to 10 percent sampled to close to full volume screened (typical range) |
05What the managed service includes
Ongoing tuning
Rules and model thresholds are reviewed monthly and adjusted as false positive or false negative patterns emerge.
Regulatory updates
When guidance changes, the monitoring criteria are updated as part of the service rather than requiring a new project.
Reporting support
Monthly summaries are formatted for use in board or regulator reporting.
Discuss your compliance requirements
We start with a review of your current monitoring scope and applicable regulations before proposing coverage.
FAQQuestions
Common questions
Does this guarantee we pass an audit?
No system can guarantee an audit outcome. It substantially increases coverage and consistency of monitoring, which reduces risk but does not eliminate it.
Who reviews the flags the AI raises?
Your compliance officer or team reviews all flagged items; the system surfaces and prioritizes, it does not make final compliance decisions.
What is the honest limit here?
The model flags patterns it has been trained to recognize. Genuinely novel violation types may not be caught until rules are updated to cover them.
Is this a one-time project or ongoing?
It is delivered as an ongoing managed service, since regulations and business activity both change continuously.
