Compliance Surveillance Challenges

Communications, trades and market activity now generate more alerts than compliance teams can realistically review. As volumes increase:

  • Manual review consumes valuable analyst time.
  • False positives reduce capacity for higher-value investigations.
  • Surveillance programmes become harder to scale efficiently.
  • Demonstrating effective surveillance becomes increasingly difficult.

The value of surveillance lies in the risks it identifies, not the alerts it generates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is AI for compliance surveillance?

AI for compliance surveillance uses technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, LLMs, genAI, and advanced analytics to help firms identify potential misconduct, reduce manual review and improve surveillance. By analysing communications, trading activity and behavioural patterns, AI helps compliance teams detect meaningful risk more efficiently.

Can AI reduce false positives in compliance surveillance?

Yes. AI improves alert quality by analysing context, metadata and behavioural signals alongside traditional surveillance rules. Rather than replacing existing controls, AI helps reduce low-value alerts before they reach analysts.

SteelEye uses intelligent filtering and AI-assisted prioritisation to help compliance teams focus on the alerts that matter most.

Can AI detect market abuse?

Yes. AI can help identify behaviours associated with insider dealing, market manipulation and other forms of market abuse by analysing communications, trading activity and behavioural signals. Used alongside traditional surveillance controls, AI helps firms prioritise investigations and uncover risks that might otherwise be missed.

SteelEye combines AI with integrated communications and trade surveillance to provide the context compliance teams need to investigate potential market abuse more effectively.

What's the difference between keyword surveillance and AI?

Keyword surveillance relies on predefined words or phrases to generate alerts, while AI analyses context, intent and behavioural patterns to identify more nuanced risks.
Together, they provide a stronger surveillance framework than either approach alone.

SteelEye gives customers the option to use Lexica only, AI mix or AI only. We don't dictate what your organisation should do. We believe Lexica will always have a place for high-risk/edge-case scenarios,  including harassment, sanctions, and terms you'll always want to hit.

Can AI monitor communications, trades and market activity together?

Yes. Modern surveillance platforms can combine communications, trades, orders, market data and other contextual information into a single investigation, giving compliance teams a more complete view of potential misconduct.

SteelEye brings these data sources together in one platform, helping analysts investigate faster with greater context.

How do compliance teams use AI without compromising governance?

The most effective AI deployments keep compliance professionals in control. AI can reduce manual review, prioritise alerts and surface relevant context, while analysts remain responsible for reviewing evidence, making decisions and documenting outcomes.

SteelEye combines AI with transparent workflows, explainable outputs and human oversight to help firms adopt AI confidently within regulated surveillance programmes.
