Pillar 04 — AI Governance

Govern the AI your firm already runs on.

AI is already in your firm — in note-takers, copilots, and research tools. AI governance is how you bring that use into a system you can monitor, document, and defend the moment a regulator asks.

The modules

Everything in the Compliance pillar.

Buy any module on its own, or run the whole pillar. All of it shares one data fabric and one audit trail.

MODULE 01 · AUDIT READINESS

Audits & Attestations

Run internal audits and collect attestations without the spreadsheet sprawl. The platform surfaces gaps before an examiner does and keeps a complete, time-stamped history of every action and approval.

Internal audit workflows with templates
Firm-wide attestation campaigns
Automatic gap detection and scoring
Full version history and audit trail

Who it's for: CCOs and compliance teams preparing for SEC / FINRA exams.

MODULE 02 · POLICIES

Policies & Procedure Management

Tie your written supervisory procedures to real regulatory rules. When a rule changes, the platform alerts you and shows exactly which WSP needs to change — no more annual scramble.

WSPs mapped to SEC / FINRA / state rules
Instant alerts as rules change
Continuous gap testing
Guided remediation steps

Who it's for: Compliance officers maintaining WSP libraries across multiple jurisdictions.

MODULE 03 · TRADE & CONDUCT

Code of Ethics & Trade Oversight

Track personal trading and employee conduct in one place. Pre-clearance, restricted lists, and attestations are automated, so insider-risk violations surface early instead of in an exam finding.

Personal trading pre-clearance
Restricted-list monitoring
Code of ethics attestations
Auto-flagged violations with reg-ready reporting

Who it's for: Firms supervising employee trading and personal account activity.

MODULE 04 · MARKETING

Marketing & E-comms Surveillance

Avery AI scans websites, emails, and decks for regulatory red flags and disclosure gaps — keeping marketing compliant at the speed content actually moves, with principal review where it matters.

AI risk detection across e-comms
Disclosure and claims monitoring
Policy-aligned review workflows
Principal sign-off on flagged items

Who it's for: Marketing and compliance teams reviewing advisor content under the Marketing Rule.

MODULE 05 · CALENDAR

Compliance Calendar

Every regulatory deadline, filing, and recurring task in one shared view — so nothing slips through, and the whole team sees what's due and what's done.

Regulatory deadline tracking
Recurring task automation
Filing reminders and ownership
Team-wide visibility

Who it's for: Compliance teams managing filing calendars and recurring obligations.

MODULE 06 · CUSTOM

Capture What Matters

Capture audit notes, regulator requests, and issue logs in fully customizable workflows — no code, no waiting on a vendor. Powerful analytics turn captured data into board-ready insight.

Custom fields and workflows, no code
Issue and exception logging
Regulator-request tracking
Built-in analytics

Who it's for: Teams that need to track firm-specific items beyond standard modules.
