AI across your compliance program
- Surface emerging risks earlier.
- Triage cases before anyone opens it.
- Summarize the evidence. Flag what’s missing.
- Build the audit-ready record from the get-go.
an AI layer built for compliance
Every compliance program worth its weight was built on rigor, judgment, and institutional knowledge.
Q by EQS builds on that foundation. The program you built runs faster, holds a higher standard, and costs what the business can defend.
Q is AI built for compliance work. It is embedded in EQS compliance solutions, governed by design, and shaped by compliance practitioners.
Q by EQS works three ways.
- Q Features
- run automatically inside your workflows: triage, classification, and severity scoring happen without anyone touching a workflow.
- Q Assistant
- answers questions about a case in plain language, drawing on that case’s metadata, reports, and policies.
- Q Agents
- take on entire tasks and multi-step workflows.
Every action, in every mode, is logged, and a person stays in control of the decision.
EQS tested six frontier AI models on 120 real compliance tasks.
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 defines what reliable means in a regulated environment.
Read the full report- 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 operates across your entire compliance program.
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 the case what it knows: who’s involved, what’s changed, what to check next. Answered from case metadata, reports, and policies.
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 a decision gets made.
Every case gets the same quality of work,
whoever picks it up.
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’s and the customer’s taxonomy
Q maps beneficial ownership visually.
Q presents beneficial ownership, directorships, and affiliated entities in an interactive relationship graph. Complex ownership structures become easy to read. 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
Q answers case questions in plain language.
Investigators get answers from inside the case: who’s involved, what allegations exist, what evidence to secure, in what order to conduct interviews, and how to respond to the reporter. Q Assistant answers from case metadata, reports, reporter messages, file summaries, related cases, and policies, so nothing leaves EQS for an external AI tool.
Q does this by- Understanding questions about a case, asked in plain language
- Answering from case metadata, reports, reporter messages, file summaries, and policy content, and spotting related cases that follow a similar pattern
- Surfacing what to check next: evidence to secure, people to interview, and in what order
Q builds dashboards as fast as you describe them.
Describe what the program needs, and Q will build it inside the platform. Prompted in natural language, you can start from EQS presets or a blank canvas.
Q does this by- Understand what the team needs
- Build charts and dashboards from a prompt, on EQS presets or a blank canvas
- Filter by classification, country, business unit, status, and attributes

Register for the revealQ was built to be questioned.
People stay in control where it matters.
Q automates the work and leaves accountability with your team. 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. Data residency, encryption, and tenant isolation protect it there. Full terms at trust.eqs.com.
Governance runs inside the work.
Relevant actions, inputs, outputs, and human decisions are logged as part of the workflow. Q shows confidence indicators and explanations where applicable. Records are designed to support review, auditability, and accountability.
Q guards against AI-specific risk.
Safeguards protect against hallucinations, prompt injection, and data leakage. Testing, monitoring, tracing, and incident response run behind every AI function.
Compliance work needs AI built for compliance.
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. It pairs regulatory guidance, best practice, and practitioner expertise with your business context: industry, size, business model, risk parameters, and policies.
The audit trail is the product.
Every classification, score, recommendation, and human decision is 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.
EQS brings 26 years of European regulatory context.
Q draws on EU directive timelines, due diligence standards, GDPR documentation requirements, and data residency obligations.
A single 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 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. Relationship intelligence and network mapping surface ownership structures and affiliated entities. In bribery and corruption investigations, risk scoring and documentation follow 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.
