Shield and PwC UK have announced a strategic collaboration to transform the way institutions approach communications compliance.
The partnership aims to help financial institutions modernise their surveillance and monitoring frameworks by combining Shield’s advanced cloud-native technology with PwC’s regulatory expertise. By uniting these strengths, the collaboration is designed to provide organisations with proactive risk management, enhanced compliance, and greater operational efficiency.
Shield specialises in providing a unified, AI-first communications compliance platform that supports automation, insight generation and scalable monitoring across digital channels. PwC UK brings deep knowledge in surveillance strategy, operating model design, and programme delivery, with a proven track record in regulatory compliance and market abuse oversight.
Together, the companies will deliver an end-to-end solution capable of meeting evolving regulatory expectations. This joint offering promises rapid deployment compared to industry norms, while also enabling organisations to tune risk models, test governance systems and achieve compliance outcomes that are explainable and defensible.
The collaboration comes at a time when institutions face mounting regulatory scrutiny, the growing influence of AI, and an increasingly complex mix of communication channels. By combining Shield’s technology with PwC’s delivery expertise, the partnership is positioned to help firms navigate this landscape more confidently and cost-effectively.
Shield has recently been recognised as a Visionary in Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant™, securing top-three vendor status in regulatory compliance and ranking #1 in categories such as AI/ML, Connectors and Policy Management. PwC, meanwhile, offers clients the support of a dedicated team of surveillance specialists with long-standing experience in delivering complex programmes under regulatory pressure.
Shield CEO and co-founder Shiran Weitzman said, “This is more than a collaboration, it is a signal to the market that communication compliance can be both transformative and trusted. Together with PwC, we are helping firms modernise communications oversight, and defend their firm from risk and vulnerabilities while accelerating operational efficiencies.”
PwC UK partner Graham Ure said, “Our clients want less noise and more flexibility to deploy models that support existing and new risks, delivered at a lower annual cost. Our collaboration enables a bold vision for future eCommunications surveillance, bringing together Shield’s AI-first platform with PwC’s surveillance and market abuse expertise.”
