The catalyst: AI-integrated intelligence
When it comes to AI, Octus takes a more human approach. This means integrating AI to amplify human capabilities and expertise, not to replace it. Delivering superior value to clients, AI is deeply integrated and ethically and responsibly woven into every facet of our operations.
A universe of insight
We ingest and synthesize a colossal scope of information—from public and private market data to filings, transcripts and exclusive sources. But data is only potential. Our strength lies in transforming that potential into power. With powerful AI capabilities, we don't just collect information; we structure the unstructured, connecting disparate points to reveal a single, coherent picture of opportunity and risk.
From data to decision
Where others see complexity, our AI sees patterns. We move beyond simple automation. Our proprietary AI and machine learning models are trained by market experts to think like market experts. They don’t just find data points; they surface actionable intelligence, predict trends, and identify critical signals hidden within the noise. This is how you get to the 'why' faster than anyone else.
Intelligence with integrity
As data science experts, Octus is pioneering the future with a commitment to responsible innovation. Our AI is built on a strict ethical framework, ensuring that every insight is not only powerful but also transparent, explainable and free from bias. We believe the greatest advantage is one you can trust completely.
Security, compliance and governance
In our world, security is not a feature; it is the foundation. We employ a rigorous, multi-layered security protocol, architected from the ground up to protect your data and our intelligence as the mission-critical assets they are. We don't just meet industry standards; we aim to set them. With SOC 2 Type II certification and a culture of continuous auditing, we ensure our operations, data handling, and infrastructure are held to the highest possible measure.
FAQ: Data governance
The Octus AI ethical framework consists of eight pillars:
1 – Fairness: AI solutions should be designed to reduce or eliminate bias against individuals, communities and groups.
2 – Transparency: AI solutions should include responsible disclosure to provide stakeholders with a clear understanding of what is happening in each solution across the AI lifecycle.
3 – Explainability: AI solutions should be developed and delivered in a way that answers the questions of how and why a conclusion was drawn from the solution.
4 – Accountability: Human oversight and responsibility should be embedded across the AI lifecycle to manage risk and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
5 – Data integrity: Data used in AI solutions should be acquired in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and assessed for accuracy, completeness, appropriateness and quality to drive trusted decisions.
6 – Reliability: AI solutions should consistently operate in accordance with their intended purpose and scope and at the desired level of precision.
7 – Security: Robust and resilient practices should be implemented to safeguard AI solutions against bad actors, misinformation or adverse events.
8 – Safety: AI solutions should be designed and implemented to safeguard against harm to people, businesses and property.
Yes. Arguably, there’s nothing more important than data privacy and security. We have taken pragmatic measures, including:
- Data Anonymization: We anonymize all data before using it for training or operation. This protects user privacy and ensures compliance with data privacy regulations.
- Access Controls: We implement strict access controls to restrict access to sensitive data.
- Security Protocols: We adhere to industry-standard security protocols to safeguard data from cyberattacks and unauthorized access.
- Regular Audits: We conduct regular audits of our data security practices to identify and address any vulnerabilities.
In addition, we strive for transparency regarding data usage. We provide users with clear information about how their data is used, including in our AI models. Additionally, we may offer users options to control or restrict the use of their data for specific purposes.
We have adopted the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), a comprehensive and widely-recognized set of guidelines and best practices for managing cybersecurity risks. Adhering to the NIST CSF helps ensure that we maintain a robust and holistic approach to security across our organization.
Additionally, our platform is currently being assessed under the AICPA’s SOC 2 framework. This independent assessment validates that our platform has the necessary controls in place to meet these critical security principles.
We employ a defense-in-depth approach to secure our system, with multiple layers of protection including:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Strict access controls and authentication mechanisms
- Continuous monitoring and logging to detect anomalous activities
- Regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
- Security awareness training for all staff
Adherence to the NIST CSF ensures that we implement security best practices across all critical functions – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.
We take a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks, including:
- Conducting thorough security testing and code reviews during development
- Implementing strong input validation and output filtering to prevent common attacks like SQL injection or cross-site scripting
- Regularly monitoring for new AI-specific threats and vulnerabilities
- Applying the principle of least privilege to limit the potential impact of any compromise
- Building in safeguards against misuse, such as rate limiting and strict usage policies
Our upcoming SOC 2 report will attest to the design effectiveness of these security controls.
Yes. We have a comprehensive incident response plan that is regularly tested and updated. Our plan outlines clear roles and responsibilities, communication protocols and step-by-step procedures for containing, investigating and recovering from security incidents.
We also have pre-established relationships with external incident response experts and legal counsel to ensure we can quickly mobilize assistance if needed.
Incident response is a key area assessed under our SOC 2 audit – providing assurance that we have the right capabilities to minimize harm during adverse events.
