Finance & Legal

Protect Every Transaction. Prove Every Action.

IronShard empowers financial institutions and legal professionals with zero-trust, immutable storage designed for AI-driven compliance and risk management. Every file, transaction, and legal record is encrypted, fragmented, and logged, creating tamper-proof evidence chains, resilience against ransomware, and AI-ready governance for the world's most regulated sectors.

The Challenge

• Evolving cybercrime: Ransomware, insider fraud, and extortionware target sensitive financial and legal data.
• Strict regulations: GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX, SEC 17a-4, GDPR, and SOC 2 require strict record-keeping and controls.
• High-stakes legal discovery: Privacy, evidence integrity, and rapid eDiscovery are critical.
• AI accountability: Regulators demand auditable AML/KYC models, transparent credit scoring, and bias detection for compliance with the EU AI Act and U.S. banking AI guidelines.

Our Approach: Immutable AI Governance for Every Record

• Zero Trust by default: No transaction or record is accessed without policy-based approval.
• Immutable chain of custody: Every file is encrypted, timestamped, and logged with tamper-proof evidence.
• Geo-aware distribution: Data is fragmented across compliant regions or hybrid clouds for sovereignty and continuity.
• Automated compliance guardrails: Preconfigured templates for GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX, SEC 17a-4, and GDPR.
• AI-ready governance layer Built-in lineage, explainability, and auditability for AI/ML pipelines.

AI Spotlight: Trusted AI in Finance & Legal

• AI Fraud Detection: Every dataset, anomaly flag, and model version should be encrypted and logged. AML/KYC pipelines must be explainable, regulator-ready, and bias-audited.
• Legal AI for eDiscovery: Sensitive case files should be stored immutably when an AI-assisted search is conducted. Each access requires logging with lineage to support chain-of-custody validation in court.
• AI Trustworthiness for Regulators: Private banks, insurers, and law firms are asked to instantly prove compliance with tamper-proof audit trails, meeting EU AI Act and SEC standards for transparency.
