What We Deliver
Decision-grade artifacts and architectural intelligence that hold up to examination review, board scrutiny, and independent audit.
Core Modernization Assessments
Independent evaluation of core banking, payments, loan origination, and policy/claims platforms. Migration sequencing, lifecycle cost modeling, and risk-tiered integration design — without reseller relationships or platform incentives.
Cloud Adoption & Resilience
Risk-aligned cloud architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP — with explicit treatment of FFIEC resilience expectations, concentration risk, and shared-responsibility boundaries. Multi-region and recovery design grounded in real RTO/RPO targets.
AI Governance for Regulated Use
Deployment patterns for LLMs, agentic AI, and ML models aligned to NIST AI RMF, NYDFS AI guidance, and emerging examination expectations. Decision Provenance (Patent Pending — U.S. Provisional App. No. 64/021,096) produces a cryptographic audit trail on every AI-assisted recommendation.
Third-Party Risk & Vendor Architecture
Vendor evaluation, integration boundary review, and exit-strategy design aligned to OCC and FFIEC third-party risk expectations. Practical answers to the "what happens if this vendor disappears" question.
Identity, Data & Privacy Architecture
Customer data flow mapping, GLBA Safeguards alignment, identity boundary review, and privacy-respecting analytics. Includes practical Reg S-P, state privacy law, and customer disclosure considerations.
Examination-Ready Decision Artifacts
Architectural decision records, control mappings, and trade-off analyses structured for examiner walkthroughs and internal audit review. Every recommendation traces to documented constraints and risk acceptance.
