CUBE, a global provider of Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM), has acquired 4CRisk.ai (4CRisk). The Silicon Valley-headquartered RegTech business utilises an agentic AI platform to deliver policy and procedure mapping directly to regulatory obligations, controls, and risks.
The power of agentic AI in compliance
Founded in 2019, 4CRisk has developed a sophisticated, purpose-built compliance and risk platform. It works by analysing and breaking down corporate policies and procedures, mapping them to relevant regulations at all levels of granularity.
The technology achieves this through proprietary Specialised Language Models (SLMs), which are trained on authoritative regulatory compliance and risk sources. Paired with its AI compliance CoPilot, “Ask ARIA”, the platform drives unparalleled automation. According to the announcement, this innovative approach produces highly accurate results up to fifty times faster than equivalent manual processes.
Beyond traditional financial regulation, 4CRisk also provides specialised corporate compliance solutions. These are designed to meet evolving requirements across several adjacent domains:
- Cyber security.
- Artificial intelligence.
- Data privacy.
- Labour laws.
- Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) mandates.
A unified platform for enterprise risk
The acquisition significantly strengthens CUBE’s ability to deliver fully automated compliance and risk solutions. It complements the firm’s existing capabilities in regulatory compliance, operational risk, and regulatory change management.
Together, the combined technologies will enable customers to move seamlessly from identifying a regulatory change to automatically assessing its impact on policies, procedures, and controls enterprise-wide.
Ben Richmond, founder & CEO of CUBE, commented on the strategic rationale: “CUBE is the strategic partner of choice for the world’s leading financially regulated organisations for both their financial and non-financial compliance and risk requirements. 4CRisk extends our reach in adjacent corporate regulatory domains and enables our RegPlatform customers to move from understanding regulatory changes to fully automating the mapping to internal governance frameworks. This is a natural extension of our capabilities and a meaningful step forward in helping our customers manage their compliance and risk more effectively across the enterprise.”
He added: “The pace of AI innovation coming out of Silicon Valley is remarkable, and 4CRisk is a great example of that. They’ve built an incredible platform and the team behind it will be instrumental in helping us further accelerate innovation for our customers.”
Global scale and future growth
Following the acquisition, the 4CRisk team—which is based across the US, India, and the UK—will join CUBE, effectively expanding its global team of AI engineers and regulatory experts.
Venky Yerrapotu, founder & CEO of 4CRisk, added: “We are honoured to join CUBE, a company we have long admired for its global vision and for setting the standard in regulatory intelligence. 4CRisk was founded to help organisations navigate regulatory complexity with clarity and confidence using AI that can be trusted and explained. CUBE’s industry-leading content, combined with the automation our platform brings, makes for a compelling combination.”
Backed by private equity firm Hg, the transaction marks another major milestone in CUBE’s growth strategy as it continues to build a unified compliance and risk platform based on agentic AI. While the financial details of the transaction were not disclosed, CUBE now serves more than 1,000 customers globally across financial services and adjacent industries.
