Banking & financial services EU-hosted

AI is on every desk in the bank. So is your customer data.

Your people already use AI to draft emails, summarise cases and debug code. The risk isn't that they use it — it's what they paste into it: customer records, IBANs, transaction details, account numbers, source code. Tracehold catches that on the device, before it ever reaches the AI tool, and turns it into live compliance reports for GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 — plus the audit trail you need to demonstrate control under DORA and the EU AI Act.

Tracehold catches it before it leaves the browser:

A customer IBAN & account number

Caught as financial data. IBAN redacted

Block

A customer's name, DOB and address

Caught as personal data, even free-form.

Redact

An internal API key in pasted code

Caught as a credential — never sent.

Block
The prompt stays in the browser. Only metadata — type, severity, timestamp — reaches your security team.
[ The exposure · observe ]

The fastest way for customer data to leave the bank is a text box

Generative AI didn't ask permission to enter your branches and back office — it arrived through the browser. Helpful, fast, and one paste away from sending regulated data to a third party you never signed a DPA with. The intent is almost always innocent. The exposure isn't.

Customer & account data

A support agent pastes a full customer record — name, address, IBAN, balance — into an AI tool to draft a reply. A relationship manager summarises a client's portfolio. Each one is regulated personal and financial data leaving your control.

Transactions & statements

Analysts paste transaction logs, payment files and statement extracts to "explain this anomaly" or "format this table." Card numbers, counterparties and amounts go straight into a public model's prompt.

Code, keys & internal docs

Developers paste core-banking code with embedded credentials into AI assistants to debug it. Risk and compliance teams drop confidential policies, audit findings and board memos in to summarise them.

Said plainly: traditional DLP watches email and file shares — it never sees the prompt box in a browser tab. That's the exact channel AI runs on. Tracehold was built for that channel: it inspects what's about to be sent to an AI tool, on the device, before it leaves.
[ Detection coverage · redact ]

Built to recognise the data a bank can't afford to lose

With 1,600+ detection patterns running across the AI tools and sites your people actually use, Tracehold recognises both the structured data with a fixed shape and the free-form personal data that has none.

Credentials & keys

API keys, access tokens, passwords, private keys and connection strings hidden inside pasted code or config — caught before they reach an AI assistant and become someone else's.

Personal & financial data

Names, dates of birth, addresses, national IDs, IBANs, card numbers, account numbers and transaction details — including names and addresses that follow no fixed format and slip past pattern-only tools.

Confidential documents

Internal policies, audit findings, credit memos, board papers and source code — recognised as confidential material so a quick "summarise this" doesn't quietly export it.

Catches it at the source

Detection runs on the device, in the browser, the moment something is about to be sent to an AI tool. The prompt never leaves the browser by default — there's no proxy and no copy of customer data sitting on our side.

Warn, redact, or block — your policy

Low-risk cases get a clear heads-up. The sensitive part can be stripped so the rest goes through. High-risk pastes are blocked outright, with a message that explains why — so people learn, not just get stopped.

Covers the whole desk

Beyond the browser extension, Tracehold reaches the desktop, developer and terminal tools, and Outlook — so the protection follows the work, not just one tab.

Not just pasted text — uploaded files too

A statement extract dragged in as a PDF, or a transaction export uploaded as a spreadsheet, is read and checked the same way as a pasted prompt — before the upload completes, on the device.

[ The rules you answer to · GDPR · EU AI Act · NIS2 · DORA ]

Uncontrolled AI use touches every framework on your desk

Banking is one of the most heavily regulated places AI can go wrong. The same paste can trip more than one rulebook at once.

DORA

Digital operational resilience means knowing — and controlling — the third-party digital tools your staff feed data into. AI tools are exactly that. Tracehold gives you visibility and control over that flow.

GDPR

Pasting a customer's personal or financial data into a public AI tool can be an unlawful transfer to a third party. Catching it on the device keeps that data from ever leaving your control.

NIS2

Stronger cyber-risk management and accountability for essential entities. Demonstrable control over how data leaves to AI tools — with an audit trail — is part of showing you manage the risk.

EU AI Act

As you adopt AI, you need to know where and how it's used, and govern it. Tracehold maps your actual AI use so you can govern it rather than guess at it.

[ Compliance mapping · live readout ]

Compliance reporting you can put in front of the board

Tracehold generates live compliance reports from your real AI activity for GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. That same evidence — every finding with its type, severity and timestamp, plus a live map of who's sending what to which AI tool — is what you use to demonstrate control under DORA and document AI use under the EU AI Act. Instead of an annual questionnaire, you get a clear, always-current view that updates as your risk does.

Risk, not theatre

The mapping reflects what your people are actually doing with AI today — what's being caught, how often, how severe — not a point-in-time checklist that's stale by lunchtime.

Evidence on demand

Every finding leaves an audit trail with just the essentials — type, severity, timestamp — so you can show diligence to a regulator without exposing the underlying data.

Aligned, and honest about it

Tracehold is aligned with and mapped to PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and ENS, with ISO 27001 certification in progress. We tell you exactly what is certified and what is mapped — never more.

From "we think we're fine" to "here's the number"

Most banks can't answer a simple board question: how much regulated data is going to AI right now? Compliance reporting answers it — and shows the trend as your controls take effect.

Reports cover GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and SOC 2, with the underlying evidence you need for DORA and the EU AI Act. See compliance in depth →

[ Deployment · 2–4 weeks · no proxy ]

Weeks, not months — no proxy, no network surgery

A bank can't bolt a new inline proxy into its network on a whim. Tracehold rolls out as a browser extension you push with the device management you already run — so the security team stays in control and the network stays untouched.

Pushed via your MDM

Deploy the extension centrally through Microsoft Intune or any standard MDM, tied to your identity provider — Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. No agent your endpoint team has to babysit, no inline gateway.

Start observe-only

Begin in a pilot that watches and reports without blocking anyone. You see exactly what would be caught — and where your real exposure is — with zero disruption to the desk before you turn on enforcement.

Plugs into your stack

Findings flow to Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel and alerts to Slack or Microsoft Teams. Hosted in the EU on Contabo and OVH infrastructure, with EU data residency.

Most teams go from first call to protected in 2–4 weeks. Detection runs on the device; only metadata reaches the backend by default.
[ FAQ · banking buyers ]

What banking buyers ask first

Does customer data ever reach Tracehold?
No, not by default. Detection runs on the device, in the browser, and the prompt itself never leaves the tab. In managed deployments only metadata — the type of finding, its severity and a timestamp — reaches the backend, never the prompt content.
Will it slow down our people or break their tools?
No. There's no inline proxy and no network change — it's a browser extension running locally. You can start in observe-only mode so nothing is blocked while you measure exposure, then enable enforcement on the policies you choose, with clear in-context messages rather than silent failures.
How does it help with DORA, GDPR, NIS2 and the EU AI Act?
Tracehold generates live, audit-ready compliance reports directly from your real AI activity for GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. For DORA and the EU AI Act — where the obligation is about demonstrable control and visibility rather than a single certifiable score — that same evidence is what you use: control over data flowing to third-party AI tools with an audit trail (DORA), and a clear, current map of where and how AI is actually used across the bank so you can govern it instead of guessing (EU AI Act).
Are you certified — ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, SOC 2?
We're honest about status. ISO 27001 certification is in progress. Tracehold is aligned with and mapped to PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and ENS, but is not certified against them — we never claim certification we don't hold. We're happy to walk through the detail with your risk team.
Can we see references from other financial institutions?
References are available under NDA. We don't publish customer logos or testimonials we haven't earned the right to share — but we can arrange the conversations your due diligence needs, privately.
How fast can we be protected?
Weeks, not months. You push the extension through your existing MDM, no proxy or network changes required. Most teams go from first call to protected in 2–4 weeks, starting with an observe-only pilot. Pricing is published up front: Free, Insight (€40/user·mo) and Governance (€60/user·mo).
