Perplexity AIS1E3: Compliance is now an architecture decision
Compliance used to mean software licenses. In 2026, it means a lot more, and the decisions being made in your IT architecture today are setting your regulatory risk for years to come.
Xensam’s Joel Sanderi sits down with Rory Canavan (SAM Charter) and David Foxen (SAM Beast Consulting) to unpack how regulation is reshaping IT design, what a $70 million SEC fine teaches us about asset management, and why the risk register sitting in your drawer might be your best defense when things go wrong.
