We built a compliance platform that pulls ESG data from several sources into one workflow, checks portfolios against set rules and keeps a clear history of the data behind each compliance decision.
Industry: FinTech & Financial ServicesService: AI & AutomationUpdated
Overview
The challenge
The compliance team relied on spreadsheets and third-party ESG (environmental, social and governance) reports that arrived late, so portfolio issues could surface between reporting cycles.
The firm wanted a faster way to combine ESG data from different sources, check portfolio rules and build a clear evidence trail for internal and external review.
Old scores could leave the portfolio out of line with current sustainability expectations.
Compliance staff spent their time comparing data from different providers.
Manual audit work made it hard to keep evidence consistent and repeatable.
The solution
The platform converts data from different ESG and market-data providers into one consistent format.
Holdings are checked against the firm's ESG requirements whenever the relevant data changes.
Every compliance result keeps the source data and rule history needed to explain it later.
Before and after
Before
Quarterly review
Issues could go unnoticed between reporting cycles.
After
Continuous monitoring
Important ESG changes can trigger checks as soon as new data arrives.
Before
Reports compiled by hand
Teams pulled supporting documents together manually for each review.
After
Recorded history
The system keeps the data and rules linked to each result.
Before
Manual sampling
Spreadsheet work limited how much of the portfolio the team could review.
After
Wider automated coverage
More portfolio activity can be checked without manual effort rising at the same rate.
Key features
External sustainability and market data come together in one consistent compliance view.
Business impact
92% signal coverage
Teams can see the portfolio data and rules that applied when a past compliance decision was made.
Business impact
Stronger audit evidence
Automated mapping and data preparation cut the manual work behind recurring ESG reports.
Business impact
4x faster reporting
Results
4x Faster Reporting
Automated data preparation means the data behind a recurring ESG report is ready in under a minute rather than 14 days, and reporting overall is 4x faster.
Before: 14 DaysAfter: Sub-Minute
More Preventive Monitoring
Continuous checks help the team catch ESG issues sooner than periodic spreadsheet reviews did.

4.8s Signal-to-Decision
A relevant data change now reaches a compliance decision in 4.8 seconds, down from under 10 seconds.

Faster delivery
Starting from components we had already tested let the team focus on the firm's ESG rules and reporting, and launch sooner.
Our tested data connectors brought in feeds from several ESG and market-data providers and converted them into one format.
A versioned history module stores the data and rules behind each result, so past decisions can be replayed for auditors.
Monitoring components run the rule checks as new data arrives and raise alerts when a holding falls out of line.
Data cost controls keep the cost of continuous data processing predictable.
Trust and control
Every compliance event keeps its source information and rule context for later review.
TRACEABLEThe platform records where each piece of ESG data came from before it counts towards a portfolio result.
SOURCE TRACKEDRules and alerts can be updated when reporting requirements or internal policies change.
ADAPTABLEThe client owns the custom ESG workflows, integrations and reporting logic built for the project.
100% OWNEDWe built an ESG compliance platform that brings data from several ESG and market-data providers into one format, checks portfolio holdings against the firm's ESG rules as data changes, and keeps the source data and rule history behind every result. It replaced spreadsheets and late third-party reports with continuous monitoring.
ESG reporting is 4x faster. Automated mapping and data preparation mean the data behind a recurring report is ready in under a minute instead of 14 days. The platform has 92% data coverage, and a relevant data change reaches a compliance decision in 4.8 seconds.
Every compliance result keeps its source data, data lineage and the rules that applied at the time. Teams can replay a past decision to see what the portfolio looked like and why it passed or failed, instead of assembling supporting documents by hand. Rules and alerts can be updated as requirements change.
If your team reconciles ESG data from several providers by hand and rebuilds the evidence for every review, we can bring the data, rules and audit trail into one place.
