Case Studies
Credit Risk Modeling & Dashboard Development
Finoptics partnered with a leading financial institution to enhance its credit risk management framework through advanced model refinement and governance improvements. Our work focused on strengthening credit risk assessment capabilities by upgrading models for Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Exposure at Default (EAD), while implementing robust documentation and governance controls aligned with regulatory standards. Additionally, we integrated Tableau dashboards to provide dynamic visualization of risk metrics and monitoring results. This strategic upgrade improved model accuracy, transparency, and resilience under economic stress, enabling better-informed decisions and stronger regulatory compliance. The institution achieved optimized risk assessment processes and enhanced operational efficiency, positioning itself for sustainable growth and competitive risk management practices.
AML Model Validation Framework for Banking Compliance
Finoptics' AML Model Validation Service is designed to ensure the effective functioning and regulatory adherence of banks' transaction monitoring systems in alignment with key U.S. regulatory standards. This service includes a thorough evaluation of the model's design, data integrity, and performance, with a critical emphasis on replicating system alerts to verify proper execution. As a result, banks can proactively manage AML risks, maintain robust transaction monitoring, and confidently demonstrate a sound compliance posture to examiners and auditors.
Secure AI Deployment & Automation
Finoptics develops secure, internal AI solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client, deployed on cloud infrastructure to ensure scalability, reliability, and strong data protection. By streamlining workflows, automating complex tasks, and providing actionable insights, the AI platform helps clients work more efficiently. As a result, clients can make faster, better-informed decisions, operate more smoothly, protect their data, and maintain compliance, all through AI designed specifically for their organization.
BSA/AML Transaction Monitoring Scenario & Sanctions Screening Tuning Analysis
Under U.S. regulations, banks operating in the country are required to conduct annual tuning of their AML models. Finoptics addressed this requirement for a client by analyzing transaction data to update thresholds, reflecting the bank's risk profile for optimized performance. Our work included a detailed review of model design, data integrity, scenario logic, and overall system performance, as well as independently replicating the transaction monitoring environment to confirm how the system behaves in practice. When appropriate, we assessed and recommended threshold adjustments to improve detection quality, and developed a Python-based dashboard providing comprehensive visualizations of transaction trends and model adjustments. This approach strengthened the accuracy and efficiency of the bank's AML framework, enhanced governance and documentation, enabled faster, more informed decision-making, improved readiness for regulatory reviews, and provided a clearer understanding of which enhancements deliver meaningful impact, resulting in a more reliable and effective AML program.
Internal Audit Services
Our engagement focused on establishing a robust, risk-based audit methodology, developing a prioritized multi-year audit plan, and executing comprehensive control testing across key risk areas. This foundational work enabled the institution to proactively identify control gaps, verify reporting accuracy, and allocate audit resources efficiently, thereby strengthening governance and providing the Board with critical insights for strategic oversight. The institution achieved a more resilient control environment, enhanced regulatory readiness, and a clearly defined roadmap for ongoing audit activities aligned with its strategic objectives.
Networking Penetration Testing
Our comprehensive network penetration testing service targets both internal and external network segments to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and validate the effectiveness of existing security controls. Our engagements simulate real-world attack scenarios across critical infrastructure components, including firewalls, access controls, and segmentation measures. We consistently provide clients with actionable remediation recommendations and guidance on strengthening monitoring and detection capabilities, helping organizations improve their security posture, reduce exposure to cyber threats, and align with regulatory and industry standards.
