MirrorWeb launches Sentinel to cut false compliance alerts by 90%
MirrorWeb has released Sentinel, a communications supervision solution designed to address the challenge of rising compliance alerts fuelled by digital communication platforms.
The increasing use of tools such as Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and iMessage has led to a surge in data volumes that compliance teams must monitor. According to figures from the Institute of International Finance, 75% of financial firms experienced a 50% increase in compliance alerts during the past year. This overload has created concerns for compliance officers, with 67% reporting that they fear missing critical risks, which could result in fines from regulators.
The financial sector has already faced penalties for lapses in compliance, as highlighted when the SEC fined JPMorgan Chase USD $125 million last August for inadequate management of communications compliance.
Sentinel, MirrorWeb's newly launched platform, aims to help organisations reduce the number of false positive alerts generated by legacy monitoring systems. In product testing, the company reports reducing such irrelevant alerts by up to 90%.
The solution is built using natural language processing and intelligent risk scoring to highlight genuinely risky communications, rather than relying on basic keyword matching. This approach enables the system to assess the intent and context behind messages, offering what MirrorWeb describes as a more accurate identification of potential compliance risks.
Key features highlighted for Sentinel include intelligent risk scoring, a pre-configured scenario library, comprehensive conversation capture, audit-ready reporting, and security features designed with privacy in mind. The risk scoring function analyses communications for intent, sentiment, and likely impact, allowing teams to focus resources where they matter most. The scenario library covers over 110 scenarios across eight risk categories, while the conversation capture function records entire threads, including message edits and deletions, to provide investigators with full context.
Every alert flagged by Sentinel is accompanied by reasoning that references specific policy requirements. This is intended to help compliance professionals prepare for regulatory audits and inquiries. Security measures are also emphasised; all communications data is encrypted, not used to further train AI models, and is managed under standards such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Jamie Hoyle, Vice President of Product at MirrorWeb, said, "Compliance has evolved beyond just ticking boxes; it's about making informed decisions that safeguard the business. Sentinel helps customers cut through the noise, focusing on real risks - the needles in the expanding data haystack. We have worked with our customers to develop innovations that meet their needs and address today's most pressing compliance challenges."
"Our Risk Scoring system and comprehensive Scenarios Library minimise the burden of false positive alerts, providing compliance professionals with the clarity and confidence to efficiently manage today's spiraling communication risks."
As supervised communication channels become ever more pervasive in regulated industries, companies face mounting regulatory scrutiny. Tools such as Sentinel are positioned to support compliance efforts by focusing investigative attention on genuinely high-risk content and offering audit-ready data for regulatory review.

Fiji: Urgent Public Warning: Bitcoin ATM Job Scam Targeting Fijians
Fijians Advised To Ignore Fraudulent Job Offers Circulating Via WhatsApp The Anti – Scam Taskforce (Taskforce) is urgently warning members of the public, particularly iPhone users, to remain vigilant against a new and deceitful scam being circulated through Apple's iMessage platform. The message, purportedly from 'Seek HR Management', falsely claims to offer highly suspicious remote assistant positions with unrealistic earnings of FJD $200 to $1,500 per day for just 15 minutes of work, along with claims about Bitcoin ATM installations in Suva and Lautoka. It is a deliberate attempt to lure unsuspecting consumers into fraudulent schemes under the guise of job recruitment. The scam message reads: 'Hello everyone, I'm the HR manager at Seek. We are installing Bitcoin ATMs in cities like Suva and Lautoka, and we are currently hiring 20 remote assistants. This job requires about 15 minutes of work each day, with a salary ranging from 200 to 1500 FJD per day. If you'd like to learn more about the job details, please add me on WhatsApp: 642102811577. ' Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Co-operatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Communications and the Chair of the Taskforce, Hon. Manoa Kamikamica, expressed grave concern over the rise of digital scam operations targeting everyday Fijians. 'This is not just a consumer issue—it is a national issue. We cannot allow criminal actors to exploit digital platforms to deceive our citizens,' said Hon. Kamikamica. 'These criminals are employing increasingly sophisticated tactics to appear legitimate, but their goal remains the same, to defraud hardworking Fijians. I urge all citizens to be extremely vigilant with unsolicited job offers, particularly those requiring personal financial information or upfront payments. Always verify any opportunity through official channels before responding, and we also urge all Fijians to report such messages to the relevant authorities immediately. It is through vigilance and collaboration that we will protect our communities.' On behalf of the Taskforce, the Council is urging all consumers to exercise extreme caution, refrain from engaging with the message, and under no circumstances respond or add the sender on WhatsApp. 'This is a textbook scam designed to exploit the curiosity and financial aspirations of our people,' said Council CEO Seema Shandil. 'The promise of easy money for minimal work is not just unrealistic—it's bait. Once hooked, consumers may be manipulated into sharing personal information, sending money, or unknowingly participating in illegal activity. We implore all Fijians to remain cautious, educate their families about these threats, and report any suspicious communications immediately.' The Anti-Scam Taskforce members are working closely to monitor such threats and coordinate timely responses. Consumers are reminded that legitimate job offers will never ask for contact via unofficial channels such as WhatsApp messages or offer unrealistic wages for little to no work. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. Scams thrive in silence — speaking up protects not just you, but others around you. If you have received this message or believe you may have shared information with the scammer, contact the Consumer Council of Fiji immediately via toll-free number 155 or email complaints@

Straker partners with n8n to automate quality AI translations
Straker has expanded its range of AI-powered translation tools through an integration with n8n, an open-source automation platform used by more than 230,000 active users and over 3,000 enterprise clients worldwide. The newly released Straker Verify node is now available within the n8n environment, introducing key capabilities for organisations aiming to automate content translation workflows. The integration enables users to trigger translations automatically when new content is created, receive real-time quality assessments, and direct specific content to human linguists at Straker for further review if required. Straker's approach targets businesses facing the challenge of maintaining translation quality and compliance as they accelerate their use of AI in content creation and localisation efforts. This is particularly relevant for highly regulated sectors, including finance, healthcare, and legal services, where translation accuracy can have compliance implications. Organisations in these sectors benefit from automation by being able to quickly scale global content delivery while ensuring linguistic accuracy and meeting regulatory obligations. The integration automates the decision-making process by assigning real-time quality scores to translations and routing content that scores below a certain threshold or is considered high priority for expert human review. Grant Straker, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Straker, said, "As organisations race to adopt generative AI workflows, translation accuracy and oversight cannot become casualties of speed. This integration with n8n ensures businesses can move fast without compromising on the quality their global audiences demand. It is yet another example of Straker's strategy of leveraging third party platforms to cost effectively broaden the reach of our sales efforts and grow Straker's high margin recurring revenue." The integration is consistent with Straker's ongoing strategy to embed its language solutions within widely used workplace platforms. Previously, Straker developed an application for Slack, which allows users to order translations and monitor progress from within the collaboration platform. The company has also announced intentions to offer a similar solution for Microsoft Teams. The n8n automation platform, headquartered in Berlin, is increasingly used as a foundation for building sophisticated AI-enabled business process flows. It offers flexibility through its open-source nature, allowing businesses to deploy the platform on their own infrastructure and maintain control over their data and AI models. According to the announcement, n8n's deep integration with AI models and tools like LangChain enables technical teams to construct workflows that automate research, generation, refinement, and publication of content across channels. Deploying Straker's Verify node within the n8n ecosystem reflects both companies' focus on supporting complex, AI-driven content operations while ensuring workflow flexibility and regulatory compliance. The newly launched integration is accessible to n8n users who register for Verify AI services. This integration with n8n builds on Straker's history of technical development in AI-driven language services, combining automated translation mechanisms with human linguistic expertise where necessary. Both companies highlight the critical importance of balancing speed and accuracy as the adoption of AI in business workflows accelerates globally.
