Managed compliance
Outsourced compliance for Web3 companies
A fractional MLRO and compliance function for exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers and Web3 platforms | built to run under MiCA, the FCA and FINMA without the cost of a full in-house team.
What it is
What does outsourced compliance for Web3 actually cover?
Outsourced compliance places an experienced Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) or compliance officer function inside your business without the overhead of a permanent hire. It covers the design and day-to-day operation of your AML/CTF programme: policy ownership, KYC/KYB oversight, transaction monitoring guidance, suspicious activity reporting, and being the named point of contact for regulators and banking partners.
For Web3 companies specifically, this also means translating fast-moving product and token structures into a compliance posture that MiCA authorities, the FCA or FINMA will actually recognise | rather than adapting a generic AML template after the fact.
How it scales
Compliance support that scales with your stage
Most Web3 companies move through three phases. We adapt the depth of our involvement to each one, rather than selling a fixed scope regardless of where you are.
PHASE 01
Pre-launch
Building the compliance foundation before go-live: AML/CTF policy, risk assessment, onboarding workflow design and regulator-ready documentation.
PHASE 02
Live operations
Once transactions flow, compliance shifts to execution | monitoring, filings and case handling | while you decide how much to bring in-house.
PHASE 03
Fully managed
We operate the compliance function end-to-end: monitoring, reporting, investigations and regulator correspondence, integrated with your systems.
Packages
Choose the level of coverage you need
Every package includes a named compliance contact. Scope, response times and regulator-facing involvement scale up from there.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does outsourced compliance for a Web3 company include?+
A dedicated compliance officer function covering AML/KYC oversight, policy maintenance, transaction monitoring guidance, regulatory filings and correspondence with regulators | delivered as an ongoing fractional service rather than a full-time hire.
Do we still need an internal compliance hire?+
Not necessarily. The Complete package is built to operate as your compliance function end-to-end. Many clients start there and only build an internal team once volumes justify it.
Which jurisdictions does Compliance Factory cover?+
We work across the EU under MiCA, the UK under the FCA regime, and Switzerland under FINMA, including cross-border structuring for companies serving more than one of these markets.
How quickly can the service start?+
Foundation engagements typically start within one to two weeks of scoping. Complete engagements usually begin with a two-to-four week onboarding period to review existing policies and systems before handover.
