rewrite this title Data Security, AI Compliance: The Two Blind Spots Your Compliance Solution Can’t Ignore – UC Today

In this session of UC Today, host Kristian McCann sits down with Simon Peters, Director of Channel Sales at Smarsh, to unpack one of the most pressing questions facing regulated industries in 2026: Is your compliance solution really secure — and is its AI even compliant?

It’s a wake-up call for compliance, risk, and IT leaders who assume ticking the compliance box equals airtight data protection. As global fines for compliance and data breaches continue to climb — including over $63 million in penalties in early 2025 alone — this conversation exposes the two blind spots most organizations still overlook.

Peters explains how compliance and security aren’t interchangeable, why third-party AI models can create new compliance gaps, and how Smarsh has built “compliant AI by architecture” — keeping all data, transcripts, and analysis inside customers’ own sovereign environments.

Key discussion points include:

Why compliance ≠ security — and how most tools leave key data unprotected
The hidden AI compliance gap: when “smart” systems leak sensitive data externally
How Smarsh’s regional AI architecture ensures zero data leakage and full audit readiness
The real-world consequences of breaches — from SEC fines to reputational damage
