For regulated firms

Adopt AI at speed,
and prove it’s governed.

SEPANTA GATE registers every model, agent and AI vendor in the firm, checks each one against your policy before it acts, and keeps the record.

What we keep hearing

“I’m accountable for systems nobody flagged to me as AI.”

Compliance lead, UK payments firm

“We can’t say what switching the AI assistant on means for our data, our clients or our regulator.”

Technology lead, UK e-money firm

“My function doesn’t have the tools to audit AI deployment across the organisation.”

Every AI system,
registered, permitted, recorded

GATE sits between your policy and your AI. It sees what's running, checks it against your rules, and keeps the record.

  • A register that stays current
    Every model, agent and third-party AI vendor captured automatically, including the AI inside tools you already run.
  • Enforce or monitor
    For each check, choose whether GATE stops anything outside policy before it runs or flags it for review. Start by watching, then switch enforcement on.
  • Oversight on the record
    For any AI-assisted decision: who approved it, against which policy, on what evidence. The record can't be altered afterwards.
  • Assurance that keeps running
    Controls checked continuously. Drift from approved policy is flagged as it happens.

Three reasons firms come to us

Prove it to someone outside the firm

For compliance, risk and data protection leads. Investors, auditors and the FCA are asking how you govern AI. GATE turns a policy and good intentions into evidence you can hand over.

Switch on Claude or Copilot safely

For CTOs and CISOs. An AI assistant can see whatever your people can see, including files that were shared too widely years ago. GATE shows exactly what it would reach, so you can narrow it before it goes live.

Sign off AI you’re accountable for

For internal audit and model risk. You can't audit what you haven't listed. GATE gives you the full list and the decision record behind it.

Why now

The FCA will hold you to the rules you already follow for the AI you run: SM&CR, Consumer Duty and SYSC.
