What Leo RegTech does

Leo RegTech is a London-based cloud-based SaaS compliance management platform serving financial services firms—asset managers, hedge funds, brokers, wealth managers, family offices, law firms, and compliance consultancies—across the UK, France, and the US. The platform originated as proprietary software developed internally within Laven Group, a compliance consultancy founded by Jerome Lussan in 2005, and was spun out as a standalone company under the Leo brand in 2021–2022 following the French office establishment and a corporate pivot away from consulting toward software.

The platform consolidates five configurable modules—Compliance Monitoring, Employee Compliance (attestations, personal account dealing, gifts and inducements), Online Training (AML, Market Abuse, Cybersecurity, DORA, GDPR, SFDR), Client Due Diligence, and Operational Due Diligence—into a single system that replaces fragmented Word/Excel-based workflows. Its technology includes semi-annual regulatory content updates performed by a specialized compliance law firm, KYC/KYB screening with ID and address verification, and the Eva AI assistant launched in early 2026, which draws from FCA, AMF, and SEC sources to answer regulatory questions and draft policies; an AI Policy Writer for UK compliance policies is in development.

Revenue is generated through enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced per organization based on users and selected modules; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through direct enterprise sales teams in three regional offices (London headquarters, Paris branch, New York office). The company reports approximately 50 client firms and 4,900+ active users spanning client AUM from EUR 5m to EUR 60bn+, and has stated plans for further expansion into the US, Luxembourg, Cayman Islands, BVI, and Barbados.

Direct peers

• ComplyAdvantage: ComplyAdvantage provides AI-driven AML, KYC, sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening used by financial services firms—directly overlapping Leo RegTech's Client Due Diligence (CDD) and Operational Due Diligence (ODD) modules with KYC/KYB screening, AML risk identification, and ID/Address verification. Both target asset managers and brokers with regulatory compliance software.
• VComply: VComply is a cloud-based GRC platform offering policy management, compliance monitoring, employee attestations, and risk workflows—closely mirroring Leo's compliance monitoring, employee compliance, and policy attestation modules. Both target mid-market enterprises with configurable compliance workflows.
• LogicGate Risk Cloud: LogicGate offers a configurable GRC workflow platform covering compliance, risk, and controls testing for regulated industries. It overlaps with Leo RegTech's compliance monitoring, controls, and attestation automation, though it is broader in scope and serves larger enterprise customers.
• AuditBoard: AuditBoard is a leading compliance, audit, and risk management platform used by financial services and other regulated firms. It competes with Leo on compliance monitoring, controls testing, and audit trails, and has deeper penetration in US enterprise FS.
• Hyperproof: Hyperproof is a compliance operations platform providing controls management, evidence collection, and automated compliance workflows—overlapping with Leo's compliance monitoring and attestation modules. Both target compliance teams with automation and integration-focused tooling.
• Onfido: Onfido provides AI-based identity verification, KYC, and AML screening for client onboarding—a core component of Leo's CDD module. It overlaps directly with Leo's KYC/KYB and ID/Address verification capabilities for FS firms.

Broad incumbents

• SAI360 (SAI Global): SAI360 is an established enterprise GRC, ethics, and compliance platform with deep regulatory content libraries, serving global FS firms. It is a broader incumbent comparable to Leo but at larger scale and with stronger US enterprise penetration.
• Mitratech TeamMate: Mitratech is a broad GRC and compliance suite including audit (TeamMate), policy management, and risk—competitor to Leo in compliance monitoring and controls with a heavier enterprise/government focus.
• Workiva: Workiva is a compliance, ESG, and regulatory reporting platform used by large enterprises and asset managers for SOX, regulatory, and ESG reporting—adjacent to Leo's compliance monitoring and reporting but at much greater scale with public-company focus.
