What AIBLU does

AIBLU (formerly Informa Consulting) is a Spain-based regulatory compliance services firm headquartered in Bilbao, founded in 2004 by Sergio Salcines. The firm delivers a comprehensive suite of compliance services — including prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, delegated internal audit, data protection, criminal liability of legal persons, regulatory compliance, sustainability/ESG, equality, cybersecurity and DORA, internal information systems, board secretariat, and training — primarily to entities supervised by the CNMV, Bank of Spain, and DGSFP. AIBLU holds over 43% market share in delegated internal audit among CNMV-regulated entities and serves as external expert for more than 350 regulated entities, issuing 300+ external expert reports annually.

The firm's technology layer comprises five proprietary tools covering regulatory compliance management, internal audit management, criminal risk management, special examination operations registration, and personal operations communication, complemented by an online training platform and the AIBLUONE platform referenced on the website. These tools are licensed to clients alongside consulting engagements and underpin recurring-revenue elements of the model. Distribution is entirely direct, enterprise field sales to regulated entities across financial services, real estate, industrial, energy, gaming, and insurance verticals, with delivery in face-to-face, online, or hybrid formats and multi-year custom engagements.

AIBLU has been majority-owned by private equity firm Stellum Growth since July 2023, which has funded an explicit organic-and-inorganic growth strategy. The firm has executed four acquisitions in approximately thirteen months — Segurdades (April 2025), AT Group (March 2026), Azentúa (May 2026), and Complylaw (May 2026) — expanding from two offices and a single Madrid region presence to five offices across Spain and approximately 100 professionals. Pro-forma group turnover reached approximately 9 million euros following the Azentúa acquisition. The firm holds AENOR ISO 9001 certification, has a 75%+ female workforce earning multiple Woman Forward Foundation equality awards, and operates from registered offices in Bilbao (Heros 28) and Madrid (Padilla 38), with additional offices added through acquisitions.
