How AI and Automation Reduce Compliance Risks in Finance & Healthcare

Mar 12, 2025By Sundaresh Ramanathan

Regulatory compliance is a top priority for businesses in finance and healthcare, where handling sensitive data comes with stringent security and privacy requirements. Manual processes not only increase the risk of human error but also make it difficult to ensure compliance with frameworks such as HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2.

By leveraging AI-powered automation with Nanonets, organizations can extract structured data securely while maintaining compliance, reducing risk, and improving operational efficiency.

The Compliance Challenges in Finance & Healthcare

Manual Data Entry Risks – Human errors in financial records or patient data can lead to compliance violations and financial penalties.

Data Security & Privacy Concerns – Organizations must ensure encryption, access controls, and auditability to meet regulatory requirements.

Audit Readiness & Documentation – Regulatory audits require accurate records and real-time access to structured data.

How Nanonets Ensures Compliance

1. Automated Data Extraction with AI

Nanonets uses AI-powered optical character recognition (OCR) to extract structured data from documents like invoices, insurance claims, and patient records. This reduces reliance on manual entry and minimizes errors that could lead to non-compliance.

2. Built-in Compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2

Nanonets adheres to leading compliance standards:

  • HIPAA – Ensures the protection of patient health information (PHI) with strict access controls and encryption.
  • GDPR – Provides data protection mechanisms such as anonymization and user consent management.
  • SOC 2 – Maintains rigorous security and operational integrity through standardized audits.

3. Secure Data Handling & Access Control

Nanonets ensures that sensitive data is stored securely with role-based access controls (RBAC), data encryption, and automatic redaction of personally identifiable information (PII) where needed.

4. Real-Time Compliance Monitoring

Organizations can set up custom workflows that track document handling, flag anomalies, and generate compliance reports automatically—helping teams stay audit-ready.
