Sample-based controls
replaced by continuous evidence.
Segregation-of-duties holds in policy but not in practice. Audit findings show up after the quarter closes. AP fraud finds the gaps between systems first. Quadrazene screens every transaction against every policy and hands the auditor a re-verifiable evidence pack.
Today
What we see in the field.
Audit is a sample
Internal audit selects a small sample per quarter. Risk + bias means the same controls get tested while the long tail goes uninspected.
SoD is enforced in policy
The user with vendor-master access also has payment-run access. The control says they can't both, but the role assignment grew over time and nobody noticed.
Findings land after the fact
By the time the auditor asks the question, the violation is months old. The remediation cycle starts late and the next quarter inherits the same risk.
AP fraud sits in the gaps
A new vendor is created. A payment goes out the same week. The supplier master review is monthly. The window is open long enough to matter.
Variance close is manual
Finance spends the first week of each month chasing reconciliation differences across the warehouse and the ERP. The narrative gets written last and reviewed by the board first.
Privileged access drifts
Quarterly access reviews are spreadsheets. Dormant accounts sit unused, drift since last review isn't highlighted, and the certifier signs because they have to.
Regulatory context
The frameworks you already operate against.
Specific control mappings are available under NDA. The list below shows where Quadrazene's primitives line up.
SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley)
Sections 302, 404, 906. Continuous controls monitoring, hash-chained audit, and evidence pack align to control testing + evidence requirements.
NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500
Cybersecurity regulation. Trust Layer, risk scoring, identity gating, and continuous audit map to multiple sections.
GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley)
Customer data privacy and safeguards. Classification cap + content filters enforce safeguard requirements at the LLM boundary.
PCI-DSS
Where card data is in scope, restricted classification keeps it off hosted LLMs. Trust Events trace every access.
Basel III / IV
Risk-weighted assets and operational risk reporting. Insights + Records produce defensible evidence trails.
FFIEC
Bank examination handbooks. Quadrazene's continuous-controls posture fits the audit and IT examination patterns.
AML / KYC patterns
Pattern policies (repeat-transaction, threshold, SoD) compose for transaction monitoring.
SOC 1 / SOC 2
Quadrazene itself is built against SOC 2 trust criteria; the platform's outputs roll into your own SOC 1 / SOC 2 evidence.
How the four Engines compose
Governance leads. The others bond in.
Lead Engine for finance. Every transaction across the warehouse and ERPs evaluated against every policy in real time. Editable threshold, repeat-pattern, SoD, reference-only policies. Findings escalate into tracked Action Items.
Example Skills: SoD pair detection, threshold breach, after-hours privileged-action alert, dormant-account flag, vendor-master quarantine, duplicate-invoice blocker.
ERP writes through a safety-gated executor. Post journal entries with HITL on the consequential ones. Release credit blocks with audit. Update sales orders without rewriting the JSON each time.
Example Skills: Post journal entry, release credit block, update sales order, file ServiceNow incident, reverse payment pending review.
Variance, close commentary, cashflow deep-dives. Finance and FP&A ask questions in plain English and get answers reconciled to the ledger, with the source rows cited.
Example Skills: Variance vs plan, DSO trend, working-capital decomposition, customer-margin drilldown, close-commentary draft.
Forward-looking forecasts with confidence bands. At-risk-customer scoring. Recommendations that escalate based on Governance findings.
Example Skills: Cashflow forecast, churn risk, at-risk customers, vendor consolidation, working-capital scenarios.
See it on real surfaces
Three walkthroughs that show the finance shape.
Failed-login + SoD correlation → revoke
A SIEM alert correlates with two SoD-relevant Actions by the same actor in the same window. HITL approves. Sessions revoke. MFA forced. ServiceNow P2 incident files. One immutable Reaction.
Start walkthrough →High-risk write pauses itself, low risk runs
Ordinary read lands green. A USD 48k SAP write crosses the 60-point threshold, auto-routes to the Inbox with the policy match attached, and waits for an operator's approval note.
Start walkthrough →Quarterly access review with one-click evidence
Scheduled Chain pulls privileged roles + last-used data. Dormant accounts and drift surface. Owners sign in the Inbox. Evidence pack downloads for the auditor to verify offline.
Start walkthrough →Platform surfaces that matter most
Where the finance work actually happens.
Governance
SoD, threshold, repeat-pattern, reference-only policies. Edits write before→after audit diffs.
Risk scoring
0-100 composite per Reaction. Auto-HITL above the threshold. Compliance officer tunes the weights, not the engineer.
Records
Hash-chained provenance. The auditor's NDJSON pack ships from here.
Inbox · HITL
Where high-risk writes pause. Approvals carry the policy match, the risk breakdown, and the decision note.
Trust Layer
PII filters, model allowlist, classification cap. Keeps customer data out of prompts before it leaves.
Reactor
Finance asks questions; Skills answer with cited rows. Variance, close commentary, what-if drill-downs.
Security & compliance posture
The questions internal audit and the CISO will ask.
Hash-chained audit ledger
Every Reaction, every decision, every override is one cryptographically linked, tamper-evident row. Tamper detection surfaces the position of any break; signed head anchors close the full-rewrite gap.
Evidence pack for the auditor
Filtered NDJSON, signed head anchors, and a verification script the auditor runs offline. The platform isn't on the integrity path.
Customer-installable
Run in your VPC, your Kubernetes cluster, or air-gapped. Your warehouse and ERP credentials never leave your boundary.
Classification cap on every LLM call
Customer financial data tagged confidential or restricted; the Trust Layer denies hosted-model calls that cross the ceiling. Restricted Systems route on-prem only.
Federated identity + SCIM
Your Entra, Okta, Ping, or AD FS is the source of truth. Offboarding revokes within minutes via SCIM, not at the next quarterly cleanup.
BYOK + customer KMS
Per-tenant DEKs wrapped by a CMK in your AWS / Azure / GCP KMS. Quarterly rotation. Key-shred on tenant offboarding.
What changes
Our gut feel for where the wins land.
Qualitative reads from the demos we've run. The shape of the change, not the size. We won't quote customer numbers we haven't measured.
Audit becomes continuous, not quarterly
Findings land the day they happen. The remediation cycle starts when the auditor would have asked, not three months later.
SoD enforcement becomes real
Pair-policy fires the moment a vendor-master create lands within the same window as a payment approval by the same actor. Auto-HITL routes the response set.
AP fraud window closes
New-vendor quarantine plus duplicate-invoice and amount-threshold policies catch the gap between systems that fraud usually finds first.
Close commentary lands faster
Finance asks variance questions in the Reactor and gets reconciled answers with cited rows. The narrative is drafted alongside the close instead of after it.
Quarterly access reviews ship in days, not weeks
Dormant accounts and drift surface in one packet. Owners bulk-sign in the Inbox. The auditor receives evidence that re-verifies offline.
AI inside finance becomes governable
If you already have an LLM stack in finance, the Trust Layer + Risk + Records can govern its calls without ripping anything out.
Where to start
Our recommended first phase for a finance pilot.
- 1.Connect read-only to the GL or AP subledger, plus the IdP.
- 2.Run the quarterly-access-review walkthrough on your live IdP data. Show evidence pack to internal audit.
- 3.Turn on two starter Governance policies (SoD vendor-master + payment, after-hours privileged actions). Watch findings surface.
- 4.Bond the Risk Engine. Tune the auto-HITL threshold. Walk the failed-login + SoD scenario.
- 5.Enable one Action (post a journal, release a credit block) with HITL. Watch the first audit row land.
Bring your internal auditor.
We'll walk the evidence pack, the policy editor, and the audit ledger on your data.
