Regulativ.ai
Regulativ.ai is a London-based RegTech platform that uses AI agents to automate regulatory compliance work such as control mapping, evidence collection, and audit preparation for financial services and critical-infrastructure clients.

Regulativ.ai builds an AI-agent platform aimed at the mechanical, labor-intensive parts of regulatory compliance: mapping controls to regulatory text, chasing down and organizing audit evidence, drafting policy language, and monitoring for control drift over time. The company markets itself specifically against manual GRC workflows and legacy tools that still require a compliance team to manually assemble spreadsheets and screenshots ahead of an audit, positioning natural-language processing as a way to read regulatory text and propose applicable controls automatically.
The platform integrates with common enterprise systems — ServiceNow, Jira, Confluence, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, and the major cloud providers — so that evidence collection can pull directly from where the underlying work already happens rather than requiring a separate manual export step. Recent product focus has leaned toward EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF compliance workflows, including AI-gateway monitoring and conformity-assessment tracking, reflecting a bet that AI-specific regulation will be a durable new compliance workload for the next several years.
Regulativ.ai is a small, early-stage company (roughly 11-50 employees) serving financial services, critical infrastructure, pharma, and defense clients out of London. For a CISO or compliance leader, the appeal is compressing the time between a new regulatory requirement landing and having mapped, evidenced controls in place — the company claims an 80% reduction in manual compliance work, a figure that should be treated as a vendor estimate rather than an independently benchmarked result absent third-party audit data.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
The company has moved from a general GRC-automation pitch toward specific EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF workflows and 50-plus enterprise-tool integrations, indicating an active product roadmap, though most of the evidence for this comes from the company's own site rather than independent release notes.
At roughly 11-50 employees serving multiple regulated verticals (financial services, critical infrastructure, pharma, defense) with a broad integration surface, the team is stretched thin relative to the scope of the product; execution risk is real for a company this size covering this many domains.
Public funding data is inconsistent -- one database lists a seed round while others show no announced funding -- which itself is a momentum signal: this looks like an early, capital-light, possibly founder/bootstrap-funded company rather than one with a clear institutional raise to point to.
Using LLM-driven agents to read regulatory text and propose control mappings automatically is a genuine departure from the spreadsheet- and template-driven GRC tooling most compliance teams still use, and the specific focus on AI Act/NIST AI RMF compliance addresses a workload that barely existed three years ago.
Evidence is limited to vendor claims: the company states an 80% reduction in manual compliance work, but no named customer case study, third-party audit, or independent benchmark of that figure was found. This should be treated as an unverified vendor estimate.
AI-specific regulation (EU AI Act, evolving NIST AI RMF guidance) is a live and expanding compliance burden for exactly the sectors Regulativ.ai targets, making the category itself highly relevant even where the vendor's own evidence base is still thin.
Why CISOs Should Care
As AI Act and AI-risk-management obligations start applying to real production systems, compliance and security teams need a way to keep control mappings and audit evidence current without a permanent headcount increase; Regulativ.ai is built specifically for that gap rather than being a generic GRC tool with AI features bolted on.
What Makes It Different
Unlike traditional GRC platforms that are mostly structured databases and workflow trackers, Regulativ.ai leans on LLM agents to read and interpret regulatory text directly and propose control mappings, aiming to compress the time from 'new requirement published' to 'evidenced control in place.'
The Matrix Verdict
52/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A small, early-stage vendor addressing a real and growing niche (AI-regulation compliance automation) with a plausible technical approach, but the evidence base is currently vendor-sourced and thin -- worth watching for named customer wins and independent validation before treating efficacy claims as proven.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Nearly everything found about efficacy and impact (the 80% manual-work-reduction figure, the '180 years of collective team experience' framing) is vendor-sourced marketing language with no independent case study, audit, or named customer reference located. Funding status is also inconsistent across databases (seed vs. no funding reported) and should be treated as unconfirmed rather than resolved.
