Defaqto launches new compliance hub for advisers

11 November 2026

Defaqto has launched a new compliance hub to help advice firms identify potential compliance issues earlier in the advice process.

The Defaqto Unity Quality & Compliance Hub, the latest addition to Defaqto Unity, brings together learning and CPD, training and competence and governance and oversight within a single platform.

By bringing these functions into adviser’s day-to-day workflows, Defaqto said it will reduce advisers’ reliance on retrospective compliance reviews and strengthen consistency across the advice process.

Mike Piddock, managing director at Defaqto, said: “For many firms, compliance still happens after advice has been delivered, creating friction for advisers and pressure for compliance teams. Our vision is to make it a natural part of the advice journey.

“By combining technology, intelligence and human expertise, we can help firms identify issues earlier, improve consistency and build a more efficient, scalable operating model. We’re already in conversations with multiple large national adviser networks and today’s launch is an important step in bringing Defaqto Unity to the wider market.”

The launch marks the next step for Defaqto Unity, which aims to replace fragmented adviser technology stacks with a unified operating model built around shared data, connected workflows and embedded intelligence, the firm said.
