About MSDK Labs

Built by practitioners who understand what regulators actually ask for.

MSDK Labs was founded by engineers and technologists with direct experience inside UK wealth management and regulated fintech. The team has delivered enterprise programmes for some of the UK's largest financial services firms. We have been in the room when compliance teams cannot answer a regulator's question about an AI system. We built Aegis Trace because we know what evidence is needed and what happens when it does not exist.

Our team combines deep expertise in regulated financial services delivery, production AI engineering, and compliance architecture. We are not generalist AI engineers who discovered financial regulation. We are financial technology specialists who built an AI compliance product.

Domain Expertise

Regulated Financial Services Delivery
Direct enterprise delivery experience across UK wealth managers, FCA-regulated advisory firms, and European financial institutions. The team has worked inside the compliance, risk, and technology functions of firms managing billions in client assets. This is not theoretical knowledge. It comes from building and shipping technology inside regulated environments.
Security and Infrastructure Engineering
Production experience in security architecture, cryptographic systems, cloud infrastructure, and API platform engineering. The Aegis Trace platform runs on Google Cloud with enterprise-grade Kubernetes orchestration, managed database services, and hardware security module integration. Built to the standards that enterprise security teams expect.
Compliance and Regulatory Architecture
First-hand knowledge of FCA examination processes, section 166 skilled person reviews, and the evidence formats compliance teams are required to present. Aegis Trace is designed around the practical reality of regulatory scrutiny, not theoretical compliance frameworks.
AI and Machine Learning Engineering
Production AI systems, model governance, and the specific challenge of making machine-learning decisions auditable at scale. Experience spans natural language processing, automated PII detection across multiple EU languages, and decision provenance engineering.
