Meet Q.
AI across your compliance program
- 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
- AI compliance software applies artificial intelligence to the core workflows of a compliance program — case management, whistleblower triage, and policy governance. It reduces manual effort, improves consistency, and generates a complete audit trail.
- Q by EQS
- is the AI layer across Compliance Cockpit — embedded in case management, speak-up intake, third party due diligence, and analytics. AI functions run inside your program, on your data, at each step of the workflow, with every action logged and humans in control of every decision.
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.
Reports arrive triaged and review-ready.
Q transcribes, translates, anonymizes, classifies, and summarizes each report and scores severity with a confidence rating. Every classification, score, and override is logged.
Q does this by- Transcribing and translating voice, phone, and written intake on arrival
- Anonymizing personal data in speak-up cases
- Classifying and assessing the severity of each report against EQS’ and the customers’ taxonomy
Beneficial ownership, visually mapped.
Q presents beneficial ownership, directorships, and affiliated entities in an interactive relationship graph, making complex ownership structures easy to understand. Every relationship is fully traceable to its original source.
Q does this by- Integrating with specialized third-party ownership intelligence providers.
- Visualizing ownership structures and relationships across companies and individuals.
- Surfacing affiliated entities in an auditable relationship graph.
Answers without hunting through the case file.
Investigators spend less time searching across tabs, notes, and records, and more time moving the case forward. Context stays inside EQS, so sensitive information never leaves for an external AI tool.
Q does this by- Reading reports, evidence, comments, and records
- Summarizing the content of attached documents
- Understanding questions in natural language and surfacing the most relevant information
Dashboards built as fast as you describe them.
Describe what you need and Q builds it inside the platform, no technical expertise required. Prompt it in natural language, starting from EQS presets or a blank canvas. Trends, comparisons and program overviews are ready in minutes.
Q does this by- Understanding what the team needs, in plain language
- Building charts and dashboards from a prompt, on EQS presets or a blank canvas
- Filtering by classification, country, business unit, status, and attributes
Q was built to be questioned.
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 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 — including relationship intelligence and network mapping to surface ownership structures and affiliated entities — alongside bribery and corruption investigation workflows, with risk scoring and documentation standards aligned to the investigative requirements of both jurisdictions.
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.

Every EQS demo runs on real examples from your regulatory context. The person running it knows compliance, not just the product.
Not ready for a demo? That’s fine. Talk to Matthias Zastrow, our VP of Sales at EQS. If you want to understand how Q works under the hood – the model, the governance, what AI means for a compliance program – he’s the right person to talk to.
