Questions

How safe is Hawk for banks & fintech?
Hawk has a strong GDPR profile. Usable in banking & fintech, provided you use the business version and follow the points of attention below. Good safeguards, but not on every point.
Does Hawk train on my data?
proprietary explainable-AI models; ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2; PII is tokenised, stored separately and encrypted (AES); SaaS or private cloud. Ask about the exact hosting region.
What should I watch out for with AI in banks & fintech?
You process identity documents, biometrics and transaction data: choose providers with EU data location, ISO 27001 and a data processing agreement, and ask whether customer data is used to train the provider's models. Outsourcing critical processes falls under the DORA and EBA rules, so secure exit and audit rights in writing. Creditworthiness assessment of natural persons is a high-risk application under the EU AI Act. For transaction monitoring, the supervisor expects you to explain why an alert is or isn't triggered, a human to decide on a report to the FIU, and that you test the model for unequal treatment of customer groups.
