StandardC

StandardC is a compliance platform for community banks, credit unions and merchant processors covering onboarding, due diligence, screening and ongoing monitoring through three modules: ApplyC for account and loan origination, VerifyC for GPS tagged virtual site visits with time stamped documentation, and MonitorC for screening and monitoring individuals and businesses.

StandardC AI adds agents that run compliance checks and produce a structured report for the institution's examiners, with human reviewers dispositioning the findings, and is built on what the company describes as a patent pending privacy architecture in which customer personally identifiable information never reaches an AI model. Prism Bank is quoted as a customer, ID.me is integrated for identity verification, and a SOC 2 Type 2 report is available on request through its trust center.

Assessment

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 8 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
BB on AI CentralityThe models are the engine of a core capability, layered on a product that would still function without them as a rules or workflow system.
Vendor Published

ApplyC, VerifyC and MonitorC shipped as a workflow suite built on GPS tagged virtual site visits, document capture and screening before StandardC AI was layered on top. Remove the agents and a saleable site inspection, onboarding and monitoring system remains.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside human judgment, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

Agents run compliance checks and the initial review of an application or loan file against the institution's policies, a structured report goes to examiners, and human reviewers disposition the findings. Thresholds, escalation routes and what happens when a reviewer misses an agent error are not published.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
CC on Model Risk Management and TransparencyTransparency is claimed in general terms with no mechanism a model validator could interrogate.
Vendor Published

Consistent, structured reports show reproducibility, which is not correctness: an agent can be reproducibly wrong. No accuracy figure, test result or validation package is published for banks expected to validate vendor models.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceVendor aggregate claims with real figures, or audited scale disclosures from a publicly listed company.
Vendor Published

Delene Gilbert, Vice President at Prism Bank, is quoted on VerifyC, while the other quotes come from the firm's own chairman and chief experience officer. Claims of 20 times the capacity and 80 to 90 percent savings on virtual site visits are attributed to no institution and carry no method.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
BB on AI Safety and Data StewardshipA categorical stewardship commitment is published without the retention schedule or the engineering detail behind it.
Vendor Published

Customer personally identifiable information never reaches an AI model, per a patent pending privacy architecture, which settles the training question by construction. Whether screening results or merchant intelligence from one institution inform what another receives is not stated.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
BB on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA substantive privacy document that reaches the product itself, short of the subprocessor list or the full data handling detail.
Vendor Published

Compliance with the Gramm Leach Bliley Act and 256 bit AES encryption are stated, and the trust center lists retention, disposal and data classification policies available on request. Retention schedule and subprocessor list are unpublished.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA recognized certification named in the vendor’s own material without the artifact, or with a scope or renewal question the buyer has to raise.
Vendor Published

Secureframe hosts a trust center showing a completed SOC 2 Type 2 audit, with the report, penetration test results and continuity plans released under nondisclosure on request. ISO 27001 is mentioned without any claim that the firm holds it.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
CC on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is unstated. Most vendors in this index are technology suppliers and being unlicensed is the correct posture, so this grade records silence about the posture, not a missing license.
Vendor Published

A provider doing onboarding and monitoring for supervised banks falls within interagency third party risk expectations, and whether the firm has faced a bank service provider examination is not stated. Vendor due diligence documents, from an insurance certificate to a state registration, are available on request.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
DD on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureNothing published on a product where the bias risk is concrete, such as credit decisioning or underwriting with no fair lending, disparate impact or adverse action disclosure.
Vendor Published

Loan files in ApplyC's origination flow are reviewed by agents, which places the product inside equal credit and fair lending duties whenever a review shapes a credit outcome. Fairness testing, bias review and adverse action content are unpublished, and name screening adds uneven error rates across scripts.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

Small businesses in cannabis related or high risk merchant segments, with few other banks willing to serve them, may have files reviewed first by an agent. Examiners can trace the decision, but the applicant sees no sign of automated review and has no route to contest it, and no warranty or remedy is published.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no provider is named.
Vendor Published

Model, provider, version and hosting are all unnamed, and the trust center lists no subprocessors. Testing the privacy architecture claim requires knowing which model runs where, under whose terms.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
BB on Core Systems and Integration DepthNamed systems or a documented public API, with the depth or the production evidence left open.
Vendor Published

ID.me identity verification is recorded into the business's audit trail, the one named integration. Not one core banking platform is named, though the workflow has to reach the core where an account opens.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
CC on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyCloud only with nothing stated, which is the category norm.
Vendor Published

Deployment in days is published, but no hosting provider, cloud region or tenancy model is named. A product built on where data goes says nothing about where its own platform runs.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

Pay per use and enterprise plans are named, but no unit, rate or minimum, so the shape of the contract is visible and the cost is not. The usage unit could be applications, site visits or agent reports.

Institution and Segment Coverage
BB on Institution and Segment CoverageNamed segments with dedicated material behind part of the coverage.
Vendor Published

Community banks, credit unions and merchant processors are the named buyers, with ApplyC for origination, VerifyC for virtual site visits and MonitorC for screening. Coverage is United States only, and no large bank, asset manager or insurer appears.

Oct 16, 2026Security / compliance

StandardC Enterprise now supports single sign on through OpenID Connect, with named support for Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace and Auth0. SSO is optional at first; once every user has moved over, an institution can ask StandardC to enforce it and retire StandardC passwords, so an employee disabled in the identity provider can no longer sign in.
