UNITED KINGDOM
Your Senior Manager is accountable. VELA creates the audit trail.
Cloud AI sends every query offshore — triggering UK GDPR Chapter V, producing answers no Senior Manager can sign off on. VELA runs inside your jurisdiction. Every answer cited to source.
Regulation
SM&CR
The Senior Managers and Certification Regime requires individuals to be personally accountable for decisions in their area. VELA gives every Senior Manager a cited, timestamped, auditable record of every AI-assisted decision.
UK GDPR Chapter V
Transferring personal data outside the UK without adequate safeguards is a breach. Every standard cloud AI product — ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini — routes queries through US-based infrastructure. VELA routes nothing.
FCA Consumer Duty
Consumer Duty requires firms to demonstrate good outcomes. VELA's source-cited responses mean every AI-assisted client recommendation is traceable to the document it came from.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- Compliance and regulatory advisory firms
- Investment managers and fund administrators
- Wealth managers and private client firms
- Corporate finance and M&A advisors
- Law firms with FCA-regulated activities
The regulator doesn't care which AI you used. They care whether you can explain what it told you and why you acted on it.
