Controlytics, LLC is a compliance services and technology company helping financial institutions (FI) assess, strengthen, and manage Compliance Management Systems (CMS) in complex regulatory environments.
Laura White and Hillary Varvel founded Controlytics to address a growing gap between regulatory expectations and practical realities faced by banks and fintechs operating under pressure to scale efficiently. As scrutiny intensifies, organizations struggle to demonstrate that their compliance programs are effective and sustainable.
“Oftentimes, compliance is forced to choose between speed and rigor,” said White, CEO. “Controlytics removes that trade-off, combining experienced regulatory judgment with technology, bringing clarity, consistency, and accountability.”
Controlytics delivers Compliance-as-a-Service through a proprietary platform. AI rapidly evaluates a CMS against curated controls, identifies gaps, and produces a remediation roadmap. Ongoing monitoring provides visibility into CMS performance, supported by compliance professionals who interpret results, guide corrective actions, and assist with examinations and partner due diligence. This allows organizations to access executive expertise without the cost and delay of building internal teams and systems.
Laura brings over 20 years of experience in compliance leadership across banking, insurance, debt buying, and fintech. Her background includes executive and C-suite roles at organizations like Allianz USA and PRA Group, and extensive advisory work with boards and executive teams focused on enterprise risk management and regulatory readiness and strategy.
Laura has led the design, remediation, and governance of compliance programs under regulatory oversight, helping institutions move to mature, defensible operating models. This informs Controlytics’ approach, emphasizing expert oversight and practical execution over generic tooling.
As Chief Product Officer, Hillary has over 15 years of experience in compliance operations, process optimization, and strategy. At FI like PRA Group and Truist Bank, she built a reputation for transforming regulatory requirements into scalable workflows. Hillary bridges the gap between product development and compliance standards, supporting organizational growth with efficient, sustainable, and exam-ready infrastructure.
Already advising credit unions, ARM organizations, and other FI, the adoption of Controlytics reflects demand for solutions that scale with growth rather than impeding it.
“Compliance is no longer just a cost center,” Varvel said. “When done well, it engenders trust for regulators, partners, and investors. Controlytics helps organizations reach that standard quickly and confidently.”
