[ CHALLENGES ]
Where AI deployments stall at financial institutions
Banks move quickly to experiment with AI, but governance, data controls, and platform ownership often lag behind.
Shadow AI exposure
Most financial institutions have usage policies but no technical controls to prevent employees from using ungoverned AI tools with client data.
No audit trail
Most institutions cannot produce a clear audit trail of how AI systems are being used across the organization.
Fragmented model management
Teams running separate provider keys create cost overruns, inconsistent audit trails, and no central visibility for platform or compliance teams.
[ GOVERNANCE ]
Controls that meet the compliance bar
Enforce consistent AI usage policies across all AI interactions.
Self-hosted deployment
Bifrost runs on-premises or in your VPC, giving you full control over how your data and client records are used.
Examiner-ready audit logs
Capture model and user activity in tamper-evident logs for risk, compliance, and internal audit review.
SSO and role-based access
Integrate with IdPs such as Okta and Azure AD; enforce role-based permissions and information barriers across every user.
Department-level cost controls
Set model access and spending limits by team or user, while tracking LLM costs across the org in real time.
[ PLATFORM CAPABILITIES ]
What platform and engineering teams actually need
Bifrost covers the infrastructure layer so your team can focus on the AI use cases that create value for the business.
