Client Overview

1. Industry: Financial Services

2. Company Size: Enterprise (4,000+ employees)

3. Location: United States

4. Primary Challenge: Secure AI adoption while protecting customer payment data and ensuring regulatory compliance

The Challenge: Securing AI in a High-Compliance Environment

Security Vulnerabilities

1. Outdated DLP Systems: Traditional tools couldn’t secure AI-generated outputs or protect unstructured data.

2. Customer Data Exposure: AI tools risked leaking sensitive customer information during support operations.

3. Intellectual Property Risks: Proprietary algorithms and strategic data were vulnerable to accidental exposure.

Regulatory Compliance Challenges

1. PCI-DSS Complexity: AI usage created complications in maintaining payment card industry standards.

2. Sensitive Data Governance: Difficulty in managing data classification and protection across AI workflows.


Operational Inefficiencies

1. Shadow IT: Employees used unapproved AI tools, increasing security and governance risks.

2. Manual Workflows: Security concerns hindered automation of routine, data-intensive tasks.

3. Delayed Responses: Limited AI use led to slower customer service and internal turnaround times.

Key Takeaways

Secure AI Integration is a Must: Financial firms can’t afford to adopt AI without robust, context-aware security.

1. Traditional DLP Falls Short: AI security requires real-time semantic analysis—not static redaction.

2. Compliance is Possible with the Right Tools: Even in high-stakes environments, AI adoption is feasible with built-in safeguards.

3. Security Doesn’t Mean Sacrificing Productivity: With Wald.ai, efficiency and compliance go hand in hand.
