Compliance in action: Attivo enhances advice compliance with TCC's AI solution
Attivo has partnered with TCC-Recordsure to implement cutting-edge AI technology, elevating its ongoing advice compliance while significantly reducing the costs associated with file reviews. This innovative move underscores Attivo’s commitment to delivering consistent, compliant financial advice as it continues to grow.
Attivo: Creating a strategic partnership with TCC and Recordsure
Attivo has long been committed to enhancing both the quality of its financial advice and the effectiveness of their compliance oversight. This, combined with carefully exploring the potential of AI, led to a strategic partnership with TCC and Recordsure, which has delivered transformative results for Attivo. It was of utmost importance to Attivo to find a partner that could support their rapid growth without compromising the quality of their advice. And this is where TCC-Recordsure solution stood out.
While Attivo was exploring AI solutions for ongoing advice reviews, the team had almost given up hope, as many options on the market lacked credibility or scalability, which slowed down their AI adoption. This was until Attivo was introduced to Recordsure AI which is backed by TCC’s compliance expertise – a unique solution that had the ability to deliver scalable AI-led compliance solutions.
Initially seen as a tool to reduce costs, Recordsure AI quickly proved its broader value. It allowed for a consistent, scalable review of all ongoing advice meetings, delivering on Consumer Duty expectations while improving operational efficiency. By combining TCC’s deep compliance knowledge with robust AI technology, Attivo secured a single partnership that strengthened controls, increased efficiency and raised overall business quality beyond what traditional compliance approaches could achieve.

Attivo: Evolving through AI journey
Attivo’s decision was driven by a focus on delivering proven value rather than chasing AI hype, with the partnership standing out for its clarity, structured approach and strong alignment in a market where many AI solutions lacked substance. Key elements offered by this partnership:
- Robust business case development with TCC expertise
- Clear commercial alignment
- Defined, measurable use cases
- Strong governance and accountability
These reassurances gave Attivo the confidence to deploy AI effectively. TCC introduced the governance structure Attivo felt was missing elsewhere. With nearly 250 staff, cultural adoption was a challenge but clear communication and demonstrations of reduced administrative work helped build support. Early pilots achieved accuracy in the high 90% range, proving AI’s value in a controlled, compliant environment.
The collaboration delivered immediate, measurable benefits:
- Reduced administrative burden
- Improved advice quality and oversight
- Increased planner capacity
- Accelerated operational efficiency
- A scalable, evidence-led Consumer Duty model

Attivo: Key success drivers since implementing Recordsure AI
The human-centric measured rollout enabled both immediate gains and long-term transformation. High-accuracy voice capture and transcription tools provided a reliable foundation for automation, building planner trust through minor adjustments and shared best practice.
Within a year, Attivo reduced file-checking costs by 40% and achieved significant benefits. With no unsuitable cases and ongoing improvements in advice quality, Attivo is now on track to review 100% of planning meetings by early 2026 – a milestone made possible through structured implementation and the scalable technology provided by TCC and Recordsure.

Attivo: Lessons learned through our strategic partnership
What started as a project focused solely on compliance quickly grew into a catalyst for a much broader transformation. Along the way, Attivo learned that success depends on more than just technology. Choosing a partner with aligned commercial incentives proved critical, ensuring that both sides were working toward the same long-term goals.
Perhaps most importantly, Attivo discovered that AI’s potential extends far beyond managing risk. When applied in the right way, it can enhance operations, improve commercial performance and deliver better client outcomes.
