WorkX Collaborates with ZL Technologies to Promote the Use of AI and Data in the Compliance Domain

WorkX's AI and Data Utilization Consultancy Organization, LeanDataX, Offers Compliance Enhancement Services for Financial Institutions and Others Using ZL Technologies' Solutions

Tomoharu Higashino, CEO of WorkX Corp. based out of Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, announces that the company will collaborate with ZL Technologies, Inc., headquartered in Milpitas, CA and led by CEO Kon Leong, as a consulting service partner in the compliance area. WorkX's AI and data consulting organization, LeanDataX, will manage this collaboration.

In recent years, corporate compliance violations have become increasingly consequential, including leaks of personal information, bid rigging, insurance cartels, violations of firewall regulations at financial institutions, and harassment cases. Under these circumstances, the establishment of an effective compliance system that utilizes data is the key to preventing and countering compliance violations while maintaining trust.

ZL Tech is a Silicon Valley software company with a strong reputation in information governance and compliance. WorkX combines ZL Tech's advanced technology with LeanDataX's AI and data application technology to provide consulting services that help clients strengthen compliance.

Through this collaboration, LeanDataX will provide the following compliance area services:

  1. Trial diagnosis (leakage of personal information, harassment, etc.)
    LeanDataX will conduct short-term PoCs (approximately 2-3 months) using corporate e-mail information and communication logs to conduct a simple assessment of specific compliance risks with the help of ZL Tech. Based on the assessment results, companies will be able to formulate future countermeasures and a roadmap for compliance.

  2. Data extraction, processing, and visualization support
    LeanDataX's AI and data utilization professionals search, extract, and analyze email information and other data to help streamline and automate management reporting and voucher submission to law firms. We also support data visualization for faster decision making and compliance dashboard construction.

  3. AI utilization and data analysis support
    Using AI/machine learning and data analysis, we derive new insights from email information, corporate communication logs, etc., to achieve efficient data extraction and detection. For example, it supports organizational network analysis based on employee communication logs, and detection of suspicious interactions such as emails and chats using AI/machine learning models.

  4. Generative AI utilization support (on-premise LLM implementation)
    Data in the compliance area is often sensitive, such as confidential information, and since "domestic completion" and "in-house completion" are recommended, it is becoming increasingly important to have a local LLM that can be utilized in an in-house private environment.

  5. Support for establishment of compliance check system and BPO design
    We support the establishment of a checking system to protect confidential information from internal corporate threats (information leakage due to internal fraud, inappropriate communication, human error such as wrongly sent e-mails, etc.) and the design of operations through BPO. By constructing an appropriate checking system based on each theme—measures against personal information leaks, firewall regulation violations, various harassment countermeasures, detection of suspected collusion or cartels—and examining the operational design, companies can improve checking quality and reduce response costs.
