Compliance is changing fast. Is your surveillance keeping up?

Today’s financial firms face a perfect compliance storm. Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying. Communication channels are multiplying. Budgets aren’t moving. And yet, the pressure to protect your firm is higher than ever.

Despite heavy investment in surveillance tools, many solutions still fall short. They flood teams with false positives, miss real risks, and drain valuable resources.

Surveillance professionals are being asked to do more with less. But outdated, lexicon-heavy systems were never built for this pace or complexity. It's time for a more innovative, faster, and more accurate way to stay ahead of risk.

Why it matters

Most surveillance systems still rely on manual review, forcing analysts to sift through irrelevant alerts while critical threats go unnoticed. Scaling by adding headcount isn’t sustainable. What’s needed is a solution that:

  • Improves precision
  • Reduces time spent on alert noise
  • Adapts across languages and regulations

Introducing Intelligent Agent: Lower costs. Better risk detection. Global coverage.

Smarsh revolutionized the industry over a decade ago with the introduction of the first machine learning-based surveillance system. Now, we’re raising the bar again with Intelligent Agent — next-generation AI built for the real-world challenges your team faces today.

Fully integrated with Smarsh Enterprise Conduct, Intelligent Agent amplifies your program’s efficiency, accuracy and scalability.

Filter the noise. Focus on real risk.

Intelligent Agent Filter delivers fast, powerful results from day one. It seamlessly integrates into your existing workflow and reduces review volume by up to 50%, unlocking early and high-impact return on investment (ROI) without disrupting your system.

Powered by Contextual AI and purpose-built large language models, it understands the meaning of messages, not just the keywords, automatically removing:

  • Disclaimers and signatures
  • Marketing fluff
  • Spam and other low-value content

All before it ever hits an analyst’s queue. That means your team can spend less time deleting and more time detecting.

Surface more risks – without adding headcount.

Cost savings are just the beginning. Intelligent Agent Detect goes beyond keywords to analyze behavior and intent. It picks up serious risks across languages, even with slang or misspellings. No more managing endless lexicon lists. The result? Three to five times more accurate risk detection compared to traditional systems.

  • Cut review costs by half
    Filter out irrelevant alerts so analysts can focus where it matters most using Contextual AI.
