Smart Control

Apply rule-based checks across disclosures — systematically and audit-ready

Systematic rule-based checking across disclosures — beyond sampling

Regulatory and internal requirements must be applied consistently across all disclosures, regardless of document type, language, or production source. Manual reviews and fragmented controls make it difficult to ensure full coverage, consistency, and auditability.

Smart Control applies predefined, explainable rules across all in-scope disclosures, supporting systematic review of quality, consistency, and adherence to defined internal and regulatory requirements with full transparency and traceability.

Without systematic rule application, controls depend on individual reviewers, timing, and experience. This leads to inconsistent outcomes, limited audit evidence, and increased operational and regulatory risk. Smart Control complements ad-hoc reviews with a governed, repeatable, rule-based checking framework.

Why Smart Control

As disclosure volumes, regulatory complexity, and outsourcing increase, manual compliance checks no longer scale. Smart Control helps ensure that defined rules can be applied consistently across all relevant documents — before publication, during updates, and throughout the document lifecycle.

Measured Impact

Systematic rule application across all in-scope disclosures

All defined rules are applied consistently across all disclosures, reducing gaps associated with sampling or reviewer-dependent checks.

Audit-ready control framework

Full documentation of applied rules, identified findings, and actions taken supports internal audits, regulatory reviews, and governance reporting.

How Smart Control Works

1

Rule definition

Compliance and business experts define rules in a structured and explainable way, ranging from simple validations to complex cross-document consistency requirements.

2

Systematic rule execution

Defined rules are applied systematically across all relevant disclosures, versions, and languages, independent of document origin or production source.

3

Explainable findings and audit trail

Findings are presented with clear explanations, references to source content, and a complete audit trail documenting what was checked, when, and with which outcome.

Typical Use Cases

Regulatory disclosure checks

Automated rule-based checks of documents such as KIDs, KIIDs, SFDR disclosures etc. against defined regulatory and internal requirements to support review and oversight processes.

Pre-publication approval checks

Support verification that required content, mandatory disclosures, and internal standards are addressed prior to release.

Ongoing rule-based monitoring

Apply defined rules continuously across updates, versions, and lifecycle events to detect issues early.

Vendor and outsourcing oversight

Apply the same rule sets to documents produced by external service providers to support consistent quality and compliance oversight.

Audit and inspection support

Provide structured evidence, audit trails, and documented control results for internal audit, external auditors, and supervisory reviews.

Designed for regulated environments

Expert-defined and versioned rule sets

Transparent rule logic and traceability

Full audit trail and evidence generation

Integration into approval and governance workflows

Decision-support, not autonomous decision-making

Smart Control supports compliance and quality assurance through systematic rule-based checks. It does not make autonomous regulatory, legal, or approval decisions. Responsibility for interpretation, approval, and remediation remains with the organisation.

GDPR-aligned processing model

Smart Control processes documents solely on client instruction. Kreios acts as a data processor under applicable data protection laws and applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal and confidential data.
