Fintech — Series B Payments Platform
Fintech — Series B Payments Platform case study
A 140-person fintech preparing for a Series B close needed to demonstrate AI governance maturity to its lead investor and two enterprise banking partners requiring vendor AI risk attestation. The team had no formal AI risk program, no documentation trail, and three weeks before due diligence. Evolve Edge ran a full AI Risk Snapshot against SOC 2, NIST AI RMF, and GDPR in under 48 hours. The report identified 11 control gaps, produced a board-presentable maturity score of 64/100, and gave the team a 30/60/90-day remediation roadmap. The investor close proceeded on schedule.
11 control gaps identified and prioritized in 48 hours · Governance Maturity Score: 64/100 — presented to board · SOC 2 + NIST AI RMF + GDPR mapped in a single report · Investor due diligence cleared — Series B closed on schedule · Remediation roadmap adopted as Q3 engineering priority

Their legal team had no clear answer. Evolve Edge mapped the platform against HIPAA, ISO 42001, and EU AI Act Articles 9-14. The audit surfaced shadow AI tools used by the clinical operations team, flagged 7 PHI-adjacent data handling gaps, and produced an executive brief the legal team used to respond to the hospital network within five business days.
3 shadow AI tools surfaced during intake — unknown to compliance team · 7 PHI-adjacent data handling gaps flagged and prioritized · EU AI Act readiness statement produced in 48 hours · Hospital network contract renewed — $1.2M ARR retained · ISO 42001 gap roadmap adopted as H2 compliance program

B2B SaaS — Enterprise Sales Expansion case study
A 200-person B2B SaaS company selling into Fortune 500 accounts was losing deals at the security review stage. Procurement teams sent AI governance questionnaires the sales team could not answer. Three deals totaling $800K ARR were stalled in security review for over 60 days. Evolve Edge ran assessments across SOC 2, NIST CSF, and NIST AI RMF. The platform produced a structured questionnaire response template, an AI Governance Maturity Score for the sales deck, and a one-page board brief the VP of Sales used in procurement calls. All three stalled deals closed within 45 days.
$800K ARR in stalled deals unblocked within 45 days · AI Governance Maturity Score (71/100) added to enterprise sales deck · NIST AI RMF + SOC 2 + NIST CSF mapped in one report · Security questionnaire response template distributed to sales team · Procurement review cycle reduced from 60+ days to under 3 weeks
