CUBE Acquires Silicon Valley RegTech, 4CRisk, Delivering Next Generation Compliance and Risk Mapping Automation

CUBE has expanded its regulatory technology footprint with the acquisition of 4CRisk.ai, a Silicon Valley-based RegTech focused on AI-driven policy and control mapping. The move brings together CUBE’s Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM) capabilities with 4CRisk’s agentic AI platform, which maps corporate policies and procedures directly to regulatory obligations, controls and risk frameworks.

Founded in 2019, 4CRisk built a platform designed to analyse internal documentation at a granular level and align it to external regulatory requirements. Its architecture is underpinned by proprietary Specialised Language Models (SLMs) trained on regulatory compliance and risk source material. Combined with its AI compliance CoPilot, Ask ARIA, the platform automates the translation of regulatory text into structured obligations and mapped controls. The company has positioned this approach as delivering results “up to fifty times faster than equivalent manual processes”, reflecting the persistent industry challenge of resource-intensive policy reviews and control attestations.

For CUBE, the acquisition extends its offering beyond regulatory change identification into automated impact assessment across enterprise governance frameworks. The combined proposition links regulatory horizon scanning with structured mapping to policies, procedures and controls, reducing the manual interpretation that typically sits between compliance monitoring and operational execution. The 4CRisk team, located across the US, India and the UK, will join CUBE’s global workforce of AI engineers and regulatory specialists.

Ben Richmond, Founder & CEO of CUBE, framed the transaction as an extension of the firm’s existing strategy: “CUBE is the strategic partner of choice for the world’s leading financially regulated organisations for both their financial and non-financial compliance and risk requirements. 4CRisk extends our reach in adjacent corporate regulatory domains and enables our RegPlatform customers to move from understanding regulatory changes to fully automating the mapping to internal governance frameworks. This is a natural extension of our capabilities and a meaningful step forward in helping our customers manage their compliance and risk more effectively across the enterprise.”

He added that the acquisition reflects the pace of AI development emerging from the US technology sector: “The pace of AI innovation coming out of Silicon Valley is remarkable, and 4CRisk is a great example of that. They’ve built an incredible platform and the team behind it will be instrumental in helping us further accelerate innovation for our customers.”
