Meet Q.
Agentic AI for compliance teams.
- Surface emerging risks earlier.
- Triage every case before anyone opens it.
- Draft the record. Close the gap. Route the decision.
- Build the audit trail as it happens.
built for programs that mean business
Every compliance program worth its weight was built on rigor, judgment, and institutional knowledge.
Q by EQS doesn’t replace any of that – no AI can. It simply amplifies it. The program you’ve built — running faster, holding a higher standard, at a cost the business can defend. That’s what Q makes possible.
This is what compliance infrastructure looks like when it’s built for what comes next.
- AI compliance software
- Applies artificial intelligence to the core workflows of a compliance program — case management, whistleblower triage, third party due diligence, and policy governance. It reduces manual effort, improves consistency, and generates a complete audit trail.
- Agentic compliance AI
- Executes multi-step workflow tasks under human oversight — routing cases, updating records, drafting outputs — and logs every action as it happens. Q is the agentic AI layer across EQS compliance solutions.
The standard for what reliable means in compliance AI.
EQS published the first independent benchmark study of AI performance in the compliance and ethics market.
Six frontier models — including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini — tested across 120 real compliance tasks. The methodology sets the standard for what reliable means in a regulated environment. Not accurate. Not fast. Reliable.
Read the full reportQ operates across your entire compliance program.
Q sits inside the work at every stage.
A report arrives. Q has triaged it for you.
Severity scored. Category classified. Relevant investigation steps surfaced – before review begins.
A case takes shape. Q connects the people behind it.
Linked parties surfaced automatically from reports and documents — and connected across the case record.
The answers are in the case. Q finds them.
Ask across data, evidence, and records — no manual searching.
A policy question lands. Q answers it before it becomes a mistake.
Policy guidance answered in real time from the approved library. The right answer reaches the right person before decisions are made.
The quality of the work shouldn’t depend
on who picked up the case.
Pre-triaged report before it reaches your desk.
Q scores severity, classifies the category, and surfaces the relevant investigative steps — before a case manager touches the file. Consistent first assessment across report volumes and locations – classifications, scores, and human overrides all logged.
Q does this by- Classifying each report against EQS‘ compliance risk taxonomy
- Scoring severity, with a confidence rating where the use case supports it
- Highlighting key report details for faster first review
- Logging every classification, score, and human override automatically
Answers without hunting through the case file.
Investigators spend less time searching across tabs, notes, and records — and more time moving the case forward.
The context stays inside EQS, so sensitive information never leaves for an external AI tool.
Q does this by- Reading case information across reports, evidence, comments, and records
- Understanding questions asked in natural language
- Surfacing the most relevant information from across the case
- Linking related people, entities, and case context automatically
Third party risk assessed in hours.
Q screens against ABAC risk frameworks, scores each third party, and documents the reasoning as it works. Built as it happens.
Q does this by- Screening third parties against ABAC risk frameworks
- Scoring risk with confidence ratings and cited source evidence
- Logging every input, score, and human decision with timestamps
Gifts, hospitality, and conflicts of interest. Reviewed before they become problems.
Q assesses gifts and hospitality disclosures and conflicts of interest declarations against your policy thresholds – flagging what needs review and routing it to the right approver. The compliance team spends time on decisions that need judgment. Not the ones Q can already answer.
Q does this by- Assessing every disclosure against your policy the moment it arrives
- Flagging what needs human review and what can be resolved immediately
- Routing decisions that require judgement to the right person, with context
- Logging every disclosure, assessment, and decision
The people behind the case, connected automatically.
Q links related parties, entities, and case context across reports and documents — so connections that span cases don’t get missed.
Every link traceable to its source.
Q does this by- Extracting parties and entities from reports and supporting documents
- Linking related people and cases automatically
- Mapping how parties connect across the case record
- Logging every link, with its source
Q was built to be questioned.
Human control where it matters.
Human control where it matters.
Q supports automation without removing accountability. Review, edit, approve, or override AI-supported actions — with controls configured to the workflow and its level of risk. Teams decide where Q assists, where it automates, and where human approval is required.
Your data does not train our models.
Customer data is not used for AI model training. Q operates on your data within your EQS environment. Full terms at trust.eqs.com.
Governance built into the work.
Relevant actions, inputs, outputs, and human decisions are logged as part of the workflow. Confidence indicators and explanations are provided where applicable — with records designed to support review, auditability, and accountability.
General AI is not compliance-ready agentic AI.
It runs inside your program.
Q operates within the same system your workflows already run on — with access to your case data, risk configuration, and policy library.
The audit trail is the product.
Every classification, score, recommendation, and human decision logged in real time. When a regulator asks how a decision was made, the answer is there — because Q built the record as it worked.
European regulatory context. 25 years of it.
EU directive timelines, due diligence standards, GDPR documentation requirements, data residency obligations. Encoded — not approximated.
One platform. One audit trail.
Risk signals from case management inform third party assessments. The program builds a picture that no single workflow produces alone. The connections exist because the platform is one.
The regulatory context is already encoded.
EU Whistleblowing Directive
EQS Integrity Line is built to support the channel, case management, and documentation requirements of the EU Whistleblowing Directive as transposed across EU member states. Q-assisted triage supports the investigation timelines and evidence standards regulators require.
EU AI Act
EQS built Q on a governance framework designed for compliance environments – explainable outputs, confidence scoring, complete audit trails, and no customer data used for model training. AI functions are benchmarked, monitored for drift, and continuously evaluated.

FCPA / UK Bribery Act
Q supports ABAC compliance across third party due diligence, gifts and hospitality management, and conflicts of interest — with risk scoring, policy-threshold assessments, and documentation matched to the investigative standards both jurisdictions require.
DOJ ECCP
The DOJ’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs measures program effectiveness, risk assessment rigor, and the use of data and technology. Q builds the evidence base a program needs to answer those questions with confidence.
The compliance teams that run on EQS.
EQS offered the most straightforward solution for our global operations. Our caseworkers now handle reports much more efficiently.
Thanks to EQS Policies, we can easily fulfil our task of sharing policies with colleagues and I can be sure that all contacts in our personnel system receive the appropriate notification. This is a great help.
The effectiveness of the Integrity Line is much higher than our previous solution. Reporters communicate more frequently, and case managers are able to follow up and close cases much faster.
The EQS Privacy Cockpit meets our requirements for a central yet decentralized compliance tool. Its user-friendly interface and multilingual support make it easy to roll out across all our business units.
EQS tested six frontier AI models — including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini — across 120 real compliance tasks. The methodology defines what reliable means in a regulated environment.
