When firms run both

Some large sell-side firms deploy Behavox for AI-driven communications and voice surveillance while using a broader compliance platform for employee compliance, trade surveillance, and regulatory obligations. The two coexist, with Behavox providing deep communications signals and the broader platform providing the compliance operating system.

When to choose MCO

• The firm needs a compliance platform covering employee compliance, surveillance, third-party risk, and regulatory obligations on one system

• Communications review should connect to employee compliance and deal review data in one investigation workflow

• The buyer wants one system of record across compliance domains for regulatory examination evidence

• Modular adoption matters: start with employee compliance or surveillance and expand into adjacent domains

• SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications with documented scope are procurement requirements

When Behavox may be considered

• The firm's primary need is AI-driven conduct surveillance across communications and voice with advanced language model tuning

• Voice surveillance depth and multilingual coverage are specific requirements

• The buyer already has an employee compliance and broader compliance platform

• Behavioral analytics and data governance are priorities
