A peer forum for controls engineering
A community for engineering leaders in banking and financial services.
A community for the people who are engineering SDLC controls in regulated environments. Meetings are invite only, in person, Chatham House Rules, and no vendor pitches.
We really got what we came for — good knowledge sharing, inspiration, networking, and important perspectives, insights and input.
Why this group exists
If you're working on SDLC governance, controls evidencing, audit readiness, or change management in a regulated institution, you'll know how difficult it is to find peers and have open conversations with people doing the same work at another banks. Most industry events are vendor pitches dressed up as thought leadership. We started the Control Group so you can have real conversations about what's actually working and what isn't, in a safe environment that values both candour and privacy.
The Control Group is where you can have the conversations that don't happen anywhere else:
- How are peers actually evidencing controls in production today?
- How do we automate controls for the AI SDLC?
- What do auditors expect and how can we be ready?
- Which controls can we standardize across the industry?
Members set the agenda. Sessions are peer-led. Vendors don't pitch.
Comparing different organisation's journeys in the same session provided good context. I'd be happy to see more like this in the future.
What membership means
The group meets in person and sessions are hosted by member institutions. Previous sessions have been held at Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley in London.
01
An invitation to each session
As a member your spot is already secured for the next session.
02
A say in what we discuss
Members shape the agenda - topics, speakers, format.
03
Chatham House Rules
A license to speak freely - what's said in the room stays there.
04
A small enough room
Manageable numbers - real conversations need space.
We're starting with practitioners in financial services. Other regulated industries are likely to follow as the group grows.
I'm very glad it wasn't a sales pitch and felt that it was a proper community event. Toby and Aaron's session was exactly the level we needed.

Frequently asked
Who is the group for?
Practitioners working on engineering controls, SDLC governance, controls evidencing, audit, or change management in a regulated environment. We're starting in financial services and may extend to other regulated industries over time.
Is there a cost?
No, membership and attendance is free.
What happens at a session?
A half-day, in-person meeting hosted by a member institution. Usually kicked off by a short intro or presentation from a peer, then open discussion under Chatham House Rules. No vendor pitches, no slides for the sake of slides.
How often does the group meet?
We meet on a roughly quarterly basis in London, but the cadence will likely increase as the group grows and we add more locations.
Where are sessions held?
Currently in person, in London, hosted by member institutions. Members will shape the format from here.
