The compliance industry has blossomed in the UK, especially in the startup scene. With stricter regulations and growing demands for transparency and accountability in various sectors, businesses are increasingly relying on compliance solutions. The London-based startups we will highlight today, all established in 2020 or later, are leveraging technology to simplify, streamline, and automate the compliance process in diverse sectors.
In the past, many compliance processes were manual, making them time-consuming and prone to human error. However, these promising startups are using everything from Artificial Intelligence to blockchain technology to ensure that businesses remain compliant with the necessary regulations. In addition, this new generation of compliance-focused startups also offer solutions that mitigate risks and manage financial crimes.
