Q12. How does Carver itself comply with financial services regulations—given that it is a vendor to regulated firms?

Carver operates as a technology services vendor to regulated financial institutions and applies the same regulatory standards it helps customers monitor. This includes SOC 2 Type II certification for operational security, GDPR and CCPA compliance for data handling, and standard financial services vendor contractual requirements (DPA, SLA, liability framework). For customers operating under specific regulatory vendor oversight requirements (e.g., DORA third-party ICT risk, OCC third-party risk guidance), RegWatch can provide the documentation needed to satisfy vendor risk assessment requirements for intelligence technology providers.
