FCA + GDPR + PCI DSS

Regulated data is moving into AI. Your controls can't see it.

Analysts and ops teams paste card numbers, client portfolios, and unpublished figures into ChatGPT. FCA, GDPR, and PCI DSS all say that can't happen. AIovert blocks it on-device and keeps the audit evidence.

This paste contains cardholder data. Sending it to an AI tool breaches PCI DSS and your client-data controls. It never left the browser.

The exposure

What Fintech pastes into AI, and why it's a problem.

  • Cardholder data: PANs and CVVs pasted into a chatbot to reconcile a transaction: a direct PCI DSS scope violation.
  • Client & portfolio data: account holders, balances, and KYC details dropped into an LLM to draft a summary.
  • Material non-public info: deal terms and unpublished figures shared with AI: exactly what supervisors examine for.

Regulatory mapping

The rules that apply, and where the risk sits.

PCI DSS 3.2 / 4.0

Cardholder data scope

Pasting a PAN into a public LLM pulls an uncontrolled endpoint into PCI scope and breaches storage/transmission rules.

FCA SYSC

Systems & controls

Firms must control where client data flows; an unmonitored AI surface is an unmanaged conduct and data risk.

GDPR Art. 32

Security of processing

Sending personal financial data to an unapproved processor fails the appropriate-measures standard.

Informational mapping, not legal advice. See our compliance overview for the full framework.

How AIovert helps

Block the leak. Log the proof.

  • Stop PCI data leaving: Luhn-validated card numbers are blocked on-device before the paste reaches the AI tool.
  • Cover every AI surface: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and 16 more, not just the tools you've sanctioned.
  • Supervision-grade evidence: every event is logged with user, data type, and tool, exportable for the FCA or your auditors.

FAQ

Fintech questions, answered.

AIovert blocks Luhn-validated card numbers and IBANs (mod-97 checksum) on-device before they reach an AI tool, keeping cardholder data out of PCI scope, and logs every attempt with user, tool, and severity as evidence for FCA systems-and-controls reviews.

Yes. Events are tagged against DORA Article 9 ICT risk management, and IBAN and policy-number detection are built in alongside the standard financial data types.

About 15 minutes, force-installed via Google Workspace or Microsoft Intune. There is no proxy, no SSL inspection, and no certificate to distribute, so it doesn't touch existing network controls.

No. Classification runs entirely on-device in under 5 milliseconds. AIovert never transmits or stores the raw card number, account detail, or deal term, only the classification label, the domain, and a one-way hash.
