Controlytics has launched a new approach to compliance management designed to help financial institutions strengthen their regulatory programs while maintaining operational efficiency. The company provides compliance services and technology solutions that help banks, fintech firms, and other financial organizations assess and manage their Compliance Management Systems in increasingly complex regulatory environments.
The company was founded by Laura White and Hillary Varvel, who identified a growing gap between regulatory expectations and the practical challenges faced by financial institutions trying to scale quickly. As regulatory oversight intensifies across the financial sector, many organizations struggle to demonstrate that their compliance programs are both effective and sustainable.

According to Laura White, compliance teams are often forced to balance speed with accuracy while responding to evolving regulatory requirements. She explained that Controlytics was designed to remove that trade-off by combining regulatory expertise with technology. The platform aims to bring greater clarity, consistency, and accountability to compliance programs.
Controlytics delivers what it calls Compliance-as-a-Service, powered by a proprietary technology platform. Using artificial intelligence, the platform rapidly evaluates an organization’s compliance management system against a set of curated controls. It then identifies potential gaps and generates a clear remediation roadmap. This process helps organizations quickly understand where improvements are needed and how to address them.
Beyond initial assessments, the platform also provides continuous monitoring of compliance performance. Financial institutions gain ongoing visibility into the health of their compliance programs while working alongside experienced compliance professionals who help interpret results, guide corrective actions, and support regulatory examinations and partner due diligence. This model allows organizations to access executive-level expertise without the cost and time required to build large internal compliance teams.

White brings more than two decades of experience in compliance leadership across banking, insurance, debt buying, and fintech sectors. Throughout her career, she has held executive and C-suite roles at organizations including Allianz USA and PRA Group. Her work has often focused on helping boards and leadership teams strengthen enterprise risk management strategies and prepare for regulatory oversight.
Drawing on that experience, White has helped institutions design, remediate, and govern compliance programs operating under regulatory supervision. These experiences have shaped Controlytics’ philosophy of combining expert oversight with practical implementation rather than relying solely on generic compliance tools.
As Chief Product Officer, Hillary Varvel contributes more than 15 years of experience in compliance operations, regulatory strategy, and process optimization. During her career at organizations such as Truist Bank, she developed expertise in translating regulatory requirements into scalable operational workflows. At Controlytics, she focuses on aligning product development with real-world compliance needs, helping organizations build systems that remain efficient, sustainable, and ready for regulatory review.

The company is already working with credit unions, asset recovery management organizations, and other financial institutions seeking scalable compliance solutions. Early adoption reflects growing demand from institutions that want compliance programs capable of supporting growth rather than slowing it down.
Varvel noted that compliance is increasingly viewed as more than a regulatory obligation. When implemented effectively, it can strengthen trust with regulators, partners, and investors. Through its technology platform and advisory support, Controlytics aims to help financial institutions reach that standard more quickly and with greater confidence.
