How it works: one path, three layers
Guardian
You run it. We draft, recommend, and automate the repeatable work. Policies, monitoring, evidence, and reporting run on their own. AI drafts risk assessments, marketing reviews, licensing research, and audits in the voice of your trusted guide, and you can escalate any of it to our compliance professionals when necessary. Free to $5,280/mo
Fractional Compliance Team
Our CCOs and BSA officers run your program inside Guardian. A named compliance officer owns your calendar, your exams, and your bank-partner diligence. If your in-house compliance officer leaves, we fill the seat with no gap. Custom monthly retainer

Hourly counsel, a flat-fee monthly legal hotline, or a fractional legal team for regulatory opinions, licensing strategy, enforcement response, and contract review. Led by CEO Colin Darke, a Best Lawyers® 2026 honoree in Corporate Law and 2027 honoree in Corporate Law and Banking & Finance Law. Hourly · Monthly hotline · Fractional team from $1,250/mo

Frequently asked questions
What is CompliSun Guardian?
CompliSun Guardian is a compliance platform for fintechs and community banks. It uses AI and automation where appropriate to save time, drafts and recommends so the repeatable work is handled, and engages credentialed compliance professionals and licensed counsel when judgment is required, so a person owns every output.
What is a fractional compliance officer?
A fractional compliance officer is a credentialed CCO or BSA officer who runs your compliance program part-time, on a monthly retainer, instead of as a full-time hire. At CompliSun the officer works inside Guardian, so your policies, risk assessments, and evidence stay in one place if the person changes.
How much does a compliance platform for a fintech cost?
CompliSun Guardian starts free. Paid plans are Essentials at $39.99/month, Pro at $350/month, Scale at $750/month, and Enterprise at $5,280/month, with additional usage available as an in-app purchase. Fractional compliance officer services and CompliSun Legal (hourly counsel, a flat monthly legal hotline, or a fractional legal team from $1,250/month) are priced separately.
What is the difference between CompliSun and Vanta?
Vanta automates security and privacy frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. CompliSun Guardian covers financial-services regulatory compliance, including AML/BSA, UDAAP, fair lending, marketing review, and state licensing, and pairs the software with compliance professionals and licensed counsel who own the results.
Do I need a BSA officer for a bank partnership?
In practice, yes. Sponsor banks and their regulators expect fintech partners to designate a qualified BSA/AML officer, maintain a written program, and complete an annual independent review. CompliSun can supply a fractional BSA officer and run the program in Guardian.
What happens if my compliance officer leaves?
CompliSun fills the seat with a credentialed compliance professional, with no gap, because your entire program already lives in Guardian. Bank partners and examiners see continuity rather than a restart.
Is CompliSun Guardian SOC 2 compliant?
Yes. CompliSun Guardian maintains a SOC 2 Type 2 report covering its security, availability, and confidentiality controls. Reports are available to customers under NDA.
Is CompliSun a law firm?
CompliSun Guardian is a software and compliance-services company. Legal services are provided separately by CompliSun Legal PLC, a Michigan law firm led by CEO Colin Darke, a Best Lawyers® 2026 honoree in Corporate Law and 2027 honoree in Corporate Law and Banking & Finance Law, with more than 20 years at the intersection of banking law, compliance, and financial technology. Using Guardian does not create an attorney-client relationship.
