CUBE acquires 4CRisk.ai to expand AI compliance capabilities

By Vriti Gothi

London-based RegTech provider CUBE has acquired Silicon Valley-headquartered 4CRisk.ai, strengthening its capabilities in automated compliance, risk mapping, and enterprise-wide regulatory management. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The acquisition adds 4CRisk’s agentic AI technology to CUBE’s existing Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM) platform. Founded in 2019, 4CRisk has developed specialised AI models that analyse corporate policies and procedures and map them directly to regulatory obligations, controls, and risk frameworks. The platform is designed to deliver results significantly faster than manual compliance processes.

The combined offering enables organisations to move from identifying regulatory changes to automatically assessing their impact across internal governance structures, including policies, procedures, and controls. The integration also expands CUBE’s footprint beyond financial regulation into broader corporate compliance areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence governance, data privacy, labor regulation, and ESG.

Ben Richmond, founder and CEO of CUBE, said the acquisition extends the firm’s reach into adjacent regulatory domains and enables customers to “move from understanding regulatory changes to fully automating the mapping to internal governance frameworks.” He added that the 4CRisk team would help accelerate product innovation as the company builds out its AI capabilities.

The transaction is backed by private equity investor Hg, which invested in CUBE in 2024. According to Joshua Gielessen, an investor at Hg, the deal supports the strategy of building an end-to-end AI-powered compliance and risk platform.

The acquisition reflects growing demand for integrated RegTech solutions as financial institutions and large enterprises face rising regulatory complexity across multiple jurisdictions and operational domains. By embedding AI-driven impact analysis and policy mapping into a unified platform, vendors are seeking to reduce compliance costs, improve audit readiness, and support real-time risk oversight.

CUBE currently serves more than 1,000 organisations globally across financial services and related sectors, with regulatory coverage spanning all major jurisdictions. Both CUBE and 4CRisk were named in the RegTech100 for 2026, which recognises leading technology providers in the regulatory technology sector.
