DataAI Security for Financial Services: Turn Risk Into competitive Advantage

Listen to the content

Financial services run on sensitive data. AI is now in fraud detection, underwriting, risk modelling, and customer service, raising both upside and risk. Institutions using AI for underwriting report a 25% increase in loan throughput [1]. The question is not whether to use AI, but how to do it securely while proving compliance and protecting customer trust.

What’s Blocking Data & AI Innovation

Most financial institutions struggle to take AI from pilot to production and to safely innovate with data. Visibility is the root issue: teams don’t know where sensitive data lives or who can access it.  Exposures multiply across vendors and platforms, shadow AI slips through, and manual compliance cannot keep up. The result: higher security and compliance risk and AI that never leaves the lab.

Five Ways BFSI Security Teams Win with Securiti

Securiti DataAI Command Center™ provides BFSI security and risk management leaders a unified platform for Data+AI discovery, classification, risk detection and auto-remediation. With a single control plane for intelligence, controls, and orchestration, teams can protect high-value financial data, govern access, and prove compliance while moving faster on AI.

1. Accelerate AI adoption

Automatically discover AI systems, monitor sensitive data in prompts, and enforce AI guardrails, so pilots move to production without leaks.

Example: A bank builds a custom AI knowledge agent without leaking cardholder data or violating PCI DSS compliance, and giving risk team visibility into sensitive data flows.

2. Prevent data exposure

Continuously find sensitive data across hybrid environments, detect public exposures, and auto-remediate findings before incidents become breaches.

Example: A payments provider auto-detects PAN in a public folder; revokes access, tightens IAM, and logs PCI and DORA evidence.

3. Govern data access

Enable secure access to the sensitive financial data by right-sizing entitlements and applying policy-based controls.

Example: A bank right-sizes entitlements and masks data so analysts view only needed fields, reducing exposure risk.

4. Automate compliance controls

Improve compliance with multiple regulations such as PCI, GDPR, EU AI Act at once and generate auditor-ready reports, making compliance a by-product of strong security.

Example: A global bank proves PCI and DORA readiness with continuous control tests, reducing months of effort to hours.

5. Drive data minimization

Eliminate duplicate, redundant, and stale data to cut cost and risk while improving compliance and AI response quality.

Example: A card issuer finds PAN duplicates post-migration; auto-archives copies, shrinking PCI scope.
