Built by compliance professionals,
for compliance professionals
RegOak was founded in 2024 by a team who spent years on both sides of the compliance desk — and knew there had to be a better way.
Our mission
Compliance teams at regulated financial services firms spend an enormous proportion of their time on administration — reviewing the same types of content against the same rules, manually, repeatedly. RegOak exists to automate that administration, so compliance professionals can spend their time on the judgement calls that genuinely require human expertise.
Compliance is a craft
We believe good compliance work requires judgement, not just rule-checking. RegOak handles the administration so compliance professionals can focus on the decisions that matter.
Transparency over black boxes
Every RegOak finding is mapped to a specific rule reference. We never give a compliance score without explaining exactly why.
Built for the regulated, not the regulator
Our customers are compliance teams at regulated firms — not regulators. We're on their side, helping them do their jobs better.
