From Salesforce to Compilot: Why Compliance Teams Need Customer Data Intelligence Platforms

My personal perspective on how Marketing and Compliance connect

As a marketer for over 14 years, I’ve always been driven by one key principle: truly knowing your customers can supercharge a brand’s power. Insights from purchasing behavior, social interactions, and digital engagement have long been the fuel for brand innovation, communication, and strategic growth.

When I entered the compliance space and interviewed over 30 compliance professionals in the digital asset sector, I was struck by a realization: they were struggling with the same challenge marketers and sales teams faced when the internet became a business necessity: reuniting fragmented data, especially from digital sources, to gain meaningful insights and leverage them at the right moment to create safe and meaningful experiences for customers.

In marketing, every customer interaction is a data point (a like, a purchase, a loyalty sign-up) that shapes how we communicate and innovate. Compliance is no different. Understanding who you are onboarding, how you can trust them, and how to manage their risk profile is critical. Many think that compliance is about meeting regulations, but I’ve learnt that compliance is more about leveraging these insights to optimize the customer lifecycle and deepen business relationships. Compliance, when done right, can become a key pillar for long-term trust and strategic advantage.

The first compliance challenge is a data challenge

Just as marketers once struggled to bring together online and offline customer data, compliance teams in digital asset businesses today face the same hurdles. Data is scattered across multiple verification tools: KYC, KYB, AML, KYT or wallet screening. Processes are outdated, decisions are manual, and regulations evolve faster than systems can adapt. It often results as a fragmented, reactive approach to compliance that drains time, resources, and confidence.

This is why we have created Compilot, a customer data intelligence platform designed to simplify and revolutionize compliance in the digital asset space. Compilot is about creating the kind of seamless, data-driven insight engine that Salesforce brought to marketing and sales, but tailored for the complex world of compliance in the digital assets space.

The second compliance challenge is to get the perfect insights at the perfect moment

In both marketing and compliance, timing is everything. Just as marketers use AI to engage customers at critical touchpoints, compliance teams need insights that arrive at exactly the right moment. Compilot’s AI capabilities are designed for this. By analyzing vast amounts of real-time data, we surface the most relevant insights precisely when they're needed (whether it's identifying a risky transaction, flagging anomalies, or recommending immediate actions). This empowers teams to act rapidly and confidently, turning insights into outcomes.

The need for smart orchestration is key to enable Web3 use cases

In the Web3 world, automated and intelligent orchestration is a must-have. Smart contract interactions require compliance processes that are dynamic, real-time, and seamlessly integrated. Compilot’s orchestration engine automates compliance at the transaction level, ensuring that every interaction on-chain aligns with regulatory requirements. This makes previously complex Web3 use cases possible, from decentralized finance to DAOs. Compliance is embedded in every interaction, empowering innovation while reducing risk.

At Compilot we want to build trust through smarter compliance

Compliance should feel less like an obstacle and more like an enabler. At Compilot, we’re making this a reality by introducing a platform that simplifies the complex and makes compliance processes feel intuitive and aligned with real business needs.

By integrating Web2 and Web3 verification tools into one unified platform, data is no longer scattered but centralized, making it easier for teams to gain a full picture of their compliance landscape. Manual tasks are automated, reducing time and effort. AI-driven insights offer real-time guidance, helping teams identify risks and make smarter decisions faster. And, importantly, it also enables secure, encrypted data management, ensuring privacy without compromising on compliance.

Ultimately, it's about giving businesses the confidence to innovate, knowing they have a compliance framework that supports their ambitions.

But this is about more than just tools and processes: we empower teams to take control of their data, understand it deeply, and act on it intelligently. It's about turning compliance from a burden into a strategic advantage.

Just like Salesforce transformed the way businesses engage with customers, we are transforming how they manage compliance. For teams ready to move beyond fragmented systems and manual processes, it offers a smarter, faster, and more secure way forward.

If you're looking to simplify compliance and gain better control over your data, it's time to explore what Compilot can offer.
