Frequently asked questions

What kind of data or integrations does Zango AI require?

chevron down icon

Zango needs no data or engineering integration for horizon scanning and regulatory change management, which work from day one. For gap analysis it needs read access to internal policies via Google Drive, SharePoint or upload. No API work or infrastructure change is required, and most teams are operational within one week.

The platform is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, so data shared for gap analysis is handled under enterprise-grade security controls.

How accurate is Zango AI in identifying compliance risks?

chevron down icon

Zango processes updates from 700+ regulatory authorities across 120+ jurisdictions in the UK, EU and US. Its Agentic Splitting method keeps cross-references between long regulatory documents intact before analysis, and every AI-generated insight is validated by a human-in-the-loop review, so compliance teams receive outputs they can cite.

Sources include the FCA, PRA, EBA, SEC and FINRA. Agentic Splitting combines multiple regulatory documents (often 50 to 2,000 pages each) with their cross-referenced dependencies to build complete regulatory context before analysis. The system improves through user feedback, and its accuracy is benchmarked against real regulatory decisions. Zango is designed for compliance professionals who need citation-grade reliability, not general-purpose AI summaries.

Can Zango AI handle large volumes of data?

chevron down icon

Yes. Zango processes regulatory updates, policy documents and compliance evidence at enterprise scale, monitoring regulators across the UK, EU and US in real time and cross-referencing hundreds of internal policy documents against incoming changes at once. Current clients include Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks working across several frameworks.

The horizon scanning module classifies each update by jurisdiction, topic and urgency, and clients run compliance across frameworks including FCA, PRA, EBA and DORA, where volume, speed and accuracy are non-negotiable.

How does the AI component enhance traditional compliance processes?

chevron down icon

Zango's AI agents automate the most time-consuming compliance work: horizon scanning, gap analysis, obligations management in the Rules Library and financial promotions review. Clients save 80+ hours a week on horizon scanning, automate around 60 per cent of controls and approve marketing 40 per cent faster, freeing teams for judgement-intensive work.

Compliance teams typically spend 70 to 80 per cent of their time on manual document review and regulatory tracking. Zango automates these workflows end to end and generates audit-ready evidence packs.

How does Zango AI ensure the security of my data?

chevron down icon

Zango holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3, access is role-based with full audit logs and SSO, data residency is configurable, and a published Data Processing Agreement is available at zango.ai/dpa.

The certifications are independently audited and verified. For regulated financial institutions, Zango has completed vendor due diligence processes with multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks.

How long does it take to go live with the Zango platform?

chevron down icon

Horizon scanning and regulatory change management are live on day one with no integration. Gap analysis and policy management need internal documents uploaded or connected, which typically takes two to five business days. With guided onboarding, most compliance teams are fully operational within one week of signing.

Compliance teams can log in and begin monitoring regulatory updates immediately, and no engineering resources, API integrations or infrastructure changes are needed from the client side.

Which regulators and frameworks does Zango cover?

chevron down icon

Zango covers 700+ regulatory authorities across 120+ jurisdictions: the FCA and PRA in the UK, the EBA and national regulators in the EU, the SEC and FINRA in the US, and MAS among others, plus DORA, Consumer Duty, MiFID II and the EU AI Act. Alerts arrive within hours of publication.

Zango's horizon scanning module classifies each update by regulator, jurisdiction, topic and urgency, so compliance teams are alerted only to the changes relevant to them.

What types of financial institutions does Zango work with?

chevron down icon

Zango serves banks, insurers, asset managers and fintechs in the UK, EU and US, from digital and challenger banks to Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions managing compliance across several jurisdictions. It is built for compliance, risk, legal and governance teams and has passed enterprise vendor due diligence at regulated institutions.

What is Zango's approach to AI accuracy in compliance?

chevron down icon

Zango uses Agentic Splitting to break long regulatory texts into meaningful chunks while preserving cross-references, so the AI reasons over complete context. It runs foundation models with context engineering, retrieval pipelines and agentic orchestration, not fine-tuning, and every output is validated by a compliance specialist before delivery.

Long updates, often 50 to 2,000 pages, are broken into semantically meaningful chunks so the AI builds complete regulatory context before it analyses anything, and the human-in-the-loop validation is what gives the results citation-grade reliability.

Is Zango a replacement for compliance teams?

chevron down icon

No. Zango augments compliance teams by automating regulatory monitoring, document review, gap analysis and evidence generation, so compliance officers, risk managers and governance professionals can focus on regulatory strategy, board reporting and stakeholder engagement. It operates alongside existing compliance functions and workflows.

How does Zango handle financial promotions compliance?

chevron down icon

Zango's Marketing Copilot reviews financial promotions and marketing materials against UK, EU and US rules, including FCA COBS, BCOBS and Consumer Duty, and against internal policies, before and after publication. Around 95 per cent of assets are auto-approved and approval cycles are 40 per cent faster.

It identifies compliance risks, flags misleading language and generates audit-ready review reports, so compliance teams can review at the speed marketing teams need without lowering regulatory standards.

Can Zango integrate with our existing tools and document management systems?

chevron down icon

Yes. Zango ingests internal policies and compliance documents from Google Drive, SharePoint or direct upload and works alongside existing GRC tools and document management systems without infrastructure changes. Core functionality needs no API integration or engineering time; enterprise deployments get SSO, role-based access and configurable data residency.

How is Zango different from other RegTech or compliance automation tools?

chevron down icon

Zango is built as an AI compliance layer for financial services rather than a horizontal GRC platform. Its agents work on regulatory content with full cross-referenced context, it covers the compliance lifecycle from horizon scanning to financial promotions and KYC quality assurance, and it is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.

Zango has been validated through enterprise due diligence by regulated financial institutions, meeting the security and audit requirements that banks demand.
