ROCKVILLE, MD, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — StarCompliance, a worldwide supplier of compliance technology solutions for employees and firms, has introduced its 2026 Global Compliance Benchmark Study Webinar Series, a three-session online initiative built around insights from the organization’s first-ever Global Compliance Benchmark Study.
For the study, the company polled more than 300 compliance, risk, and technology specialists across the financial services sector, pinpointing three major industry-wide transformations: quicker integration of artificial intelligence, heightened examination of digital assets and prediction markets, and increased demands on companies to update surveillance and information barrier programs.
Benchmark Study Highlights Industry-Wide Shifts
The 2026 Global Compliance Benchmark Study indicates a larger trend toward integrated compliance ecosystems that merge employee conduct monitoring, information barriers, AI governance, workflow management, and evidence creation. Major findings include:
– Artificial Intelligence Adoption: Compliance departments are shifting from AI testing to live deployment in surveillance and oversight functions.
– Digital Assets and Prediction Markets: Emerging asset classes generate insider trading risks, policy gaps, and surveillance needs that current compliance frameworks do not completely cover.
– Information Barriers: Organizations face mounting pressure to upgrade control room operations as data flows more freely across business units and jurisdictions.
– Connected Compliance Ecosystems: Companies are consolidating employee conduct oversight, AI governance, and evidence generation into unified compliance programs.
Three-Part Webinar Series Breaks Down the Data
StarCompliance’s 2026 Global Compliance Benchmark Study Webinar Series combines the study’s data with expert advice across three sessions:
