Why Zytra

Every AI governance platform covers EU AI Act. None cover your OCC examiner.

Generic platforms speak compliance checklist. General-purpose guardrails speak accuracy numbers. Neither speaks SR 11-7, RBI circular, or model validation committee. This page explains what that gap costs — and what closes it.

The production problem

High recall is table stakes. False-positive rate is what gets you fired.

A guardrail that blocks 100% of attacks but flags 96.9% of legitimate banking queries is not a guardrail — it's an outage. The FinProof benchmark is the only evaluation that measures both, on BFSI-specific data, with a verified zero-contamination benign set.

The regulatory gap

Generic platforms govern AI. Zytra governs AI for banking regulators.

Every platform covers EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001 — the three frameworks that appear in every vendor's marketing. What separates a banking-grade platform is the frameworks that don't appear in marketing but do appear in your next examination.

Capability matrix

What banking actually requires

The capabilities that appear on most vendor comparison pages — logging, dashboards, policy documents — are not the capabilities your model risk committee or OCC examiner will ask about.

Arthur AI / Credo AI / Holistic AI / Lakera

—EU AI Act, NIST, ISO 42001 — the three frameworks in every vendor deck
—Event logs and dashboards — not examination-ready evidence chains
—No SR 11-7 MRM workflows, no OSCAL, no three-lines coverage
—General-purpose harm categories — KYC bypass and regulatory KPI gaming not in scope
—High FPR on legitimate banking queries — documented in public benchmarks (Lakera: 0.01%, but untested on BFSI benign queries)
—Vendor-run evaluations — results not independently reproducible
—Zero coverage: RBI, SEBI, DPDP Act, MAS, OCC — the frameworks your next examiner will ask about
