AI your compliance team will actually approve.

Give your team Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, and other open-weight models in a governed workspace: every prompt logged, zero-retention inference, no training on your data. Enterprise deployments run inside your own AWS account.

Why it matters

Why compliance teams choose PrivateStack

The risk

Free AI tools learn from what you paste in. Upload a pricing model or a deal term sheet today, and there's no telling whose competitive advantage it becomes tomorrow.

With PrivateStack
PrivateStack keeps every conversation in your team's governed, isolated workspace with a full audit log. Inference is zero-retention: never stored by the model provider, never used for training. Enterprise deployments run inside your own cloud account entirely.
SOC 2 Type II is in progress, with a defined completion timeline we'll walk you through. Full audit logging is live today, so your examiners get a real answer on who accessed what and when.
Need the model inside the AWS boundary you already control? Enterprise BYOC deploys it there, under the access policies your security team already enforces. Privacy is enforced by the infrastructure itself, not by contract language alone.
Model risk management, covered: the governance registry in the PrivateStack console maintains a live model inventory, a use-case registry, policy controls, and retention settings. These are the artifacts a supervisory-guidance-style model inventory (per the banking agencies' revised 2026 guidance) carries, kept current as a byproduct of using the platform rather than a spreadsheet someone updates quarterly.
Books and records: every AI interaction is captured in a complete, exportable audit trail: who used which model, for what, and when. That supports your FINRA/SEC recordkeeping program with primary evidence instead of vendor attestations.
Solo / Entrepreneur is $49/month for one seat, by invitation. Team is $99/user/month for up to 9 seats, sales-assisted. No token-metered billing your CFO has to model against usage spikes.

At a glance

  • PrivateStack is a governed AI workspace for banks, RIAs, and fintech teams: AI use your compliance program can approve and evidence.
  • Models: open-weight families including Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen, and Gemma.
  • Every request is logged and exportable: who used which model, for what, and when. This supports FINRA/SEC books-and-records programs.
  • Hosted-tier inference is processed by a disclosed US-based subprocessor under contractual zero-retention terms: prompts are never stored and never used for training.
  • Enterprise BYOC deploys inside your own AWS account. On a BYOC deployment, data never leaves your VPC.
  • Pricing: Solo / Entrepreneur is $49/month for one seat, by invitation. Team is $99/user/month for up to 9 seats, sales-assisted. No token-metered billing.

Plan the evaluation

Bring the workflow, the owner, and the evidence.

Synthetic example — not a customer story or measured result.

Draft an internal meeting summary using an invented company and fictional account details. Trace the draft from input to the record your firm would retain.

Who decides
Compliance lead, records owner, and information security
Data risk to resolve
Client information or a record requiring retention could enter a tool outside your approved recordkeeping process.
Deployment question
Which deployment, provider, retention settings, and export path would your records owner approve for this specific use case?
Evidence to request before approval
  • A dated data-flow diagram naming every processor
  • A redacted request-log and export sample
  • A written decision on what becomes a retained business record

Use this checklist to prepare your conversation. It is not evidence that a deployment passed review. Confirm current controls against the Trust Center and the configuration being proposed.

Guides for your AI evaluation

Review the questions for your team before choosing a workspace.

  • FINRA Generative AI Recordkeeping Requirements: What Is Actually a Record

    FINRA has no AI-specific recordkeeping rule — and not every AI interaction is automatically a required record. The obligation stack (Rule 4511, 17 CFR 240.17a-3/17a-4, Regulatory Notice 24-09), five tests that draw the record/non-record line, the translation into a deployable log design, and a nine-item examiner checklist phrased as evidence to produce.

  • Regulation S-P AI Vendor Due Diligence: A Questionnaire for Smaller Advisers

    The 2024 amendments are in force for advisers of every size: an incident response program, 30-day individual notification, and service-provider oversight with a 72-hour breach-notification term. What the amended 17 CFR 248.30 requires, why AI vendors are squarely inside it, and a ten-question due-diligence addendum written for firms without a dedicated technology function.

  • BYOC AI Platform on AWS: What "Runs in Your Account" Actually Means

    BYOC becomes true or false in six verifiable places: the IAM role a vendor assumes, the network path and egress inventory, whose KMS key policies govern content stores, how vendor updates reach your account, break-glass versus standing support access, and the written shared-responsibility split. A component-by-component control-plane/data-plane table, the six dimensions with red flags, and a responsibility matrix.
