Eventus, a global provider of trade surveillance and financial risk solutions, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Huron | Treliant, the financial services consulting firm recently acquired by Huron Consulting Group (NASDAQ: HURN).

The partnership combines Eventus’ Validus trade surveillance platform with Huron | Treliant’s deep regulatory expertise and managed services capabilities, delivering enhanced compliance, operational resilience, and strategic value for global financial institutions.

This move comes as firms face intensifying regulatory scrutiny, particularly around market abuse detection, surveillance governance, and technology modernization. The collaboration aims to give banks, brokers, and trading venues a unified approach to risk-based surveillance, alert optimization, and operational efficiency.

Takeaway

The Eventus–Huron | Treliant alliance underscores the growing need for hybrid models that merge technology with regulatory intelligence, giving firms a scalable way to strengthen surveillance programs amid evolving global compliance demands.

Integrating Technology and Expertise

Under the partnership, Huron | Treliant consultants — now trained and certified on Eventus’ Validus platform — will work alongside Eventus’ own regulatory and market experts to help clients enhance their trade surveillance frameworks.

While Eventus continues to deliver its technology, platform support, and analytics, Huron | Treliant will help clients optimize program design and governance, including:

Conducting risk-based surveillance assessments aligned with business models and regional regulations.

Tuning and optimizing Validus alert logic to reduce false positives and strengthen signal accuracy.

Advising on governance, workflows, and escalation processes.

Providing managed services and staff augmentation for alert review, escalation, and investigation.

The integration between the two organizations is already in motion, with joint client engagements and training programs underway across Huron | Treliant’s global delivery centers.

Takeaway

By aligning consulting expertise with advanced surveillance technology, Eventus and Huron | Treliant are redefining how institutions operationalize compliance — shifting from reactive monitoring to proactive, intelligence-led oversight.

Elevating Surveillance as a Strategic Asset

Travis Schwab, CEO of Eventus, emphasized the collaboration’s role in advancing compliance maturity across the financial industry:

“We are proud to work alongside Huron | Treliant to help clients get the most out of their Validus implementation and ensure it is part of a strategic, comprehensive compliance program. Huron | Treliant’s consulting expertise and fluency with our platform allow its team to guide clients in aligning Validus with regulatory expectations and evolving business risks.”

Eventus’ Validus platform is recognized for its scalability, flexibility, and ability to manage high-volume, multi-asset trade data. By pairing that infrastructure with Huron | Treliant’s domain knowledge and operational support, the firms aim to help clients transform surveillance from a regulatory obligation into a competitive advantage.

Brendan Mulvey, Managing Director of Compliance and Risk Management at Huron | Treliant, added:

“This collaboration is about enabling financial institutions to elevate their trade surveillance programs, efficiently and defensibly. Combining our deep compliance and operational expertise with Eventus’ Validus platform, we are providing clients the ability to make surveillance a competitive strength.”

Takeaway

The partnership positions trade surveillance not just as a compliance requirement, but as a differentiator — enabling firms to detect risks faster, reduce manual workload, and strengthen governance.

Driving Efficiency Amid Regulatory Complexity

The collaboration arrives as global regulators tighten expectations around market abuse, best execution, and data integrity. Institutions are under pressure to demonstrate both technological and procedural robustness, while also controlling costs.

Eventus’ Validus provides the technology backbone — high-performance analytics and scalable alerting — while Huron | Treliant delivers implementation, optimization, and staffing solutions that help clients remain compliant without overextending internal resources.

The alliance reflects a broader trend: financial institutions increasingly seeking integrated technology-consulting ecosystems that can adapt to new asset classes, cross-border rules, and AI-enabled supervision frameworks.

Takeaway

As compliance costs rise and regulatory regimes diversify, partnerships like Eventus–Huron | Treliant are reshaping the future of surveillance — from siloed systems to collaborative, data-driven ecosystems.
