What it is

The initial diagnostic is the entry point to the InnovaBlack method. It is not a sales call dressed as a diagnostic — it is a focused technical session where a senior consultant with regulatory experience maps your current operation and delivers an actionable document. You decide what to do with it.

The areas we evaluate

Six areas, one session, a complete map of your operation.

  • Current technology architecture

    Core systems, servers, integrations, data governance, critical dependencies, visible technical debt.

  • AML/CFT processes and compliance

    Compliance program, designated officer, current manuals, training cadence, quality of the regulatory file.

  • Onboarding and KYC

    Client onboarding flow, watchlist screening, transactional profile, digital file, end-to-end process times.

  • Vendor mapping and risk

    Catalog of critical vendors, dependency levels, active contracts, concentration risk, continuity plan.

  • Information security policy

    Controls, access, backups, incident handling, compliance with Mexico's current data protection statute (LFPDPPP).

  • Regulatory readiness

    Alignment with Mexican Fintech Law (LRITF), the upcoming FATF (GAFI) evaluation, upcoming reviews, sector benchmarks.

What you take away

Four deliverables that stay with you, whether or not you engage us.

  1. Executive report with maturity scoring.

    Your current position evaluated across each of the six areas on a maturity scale, with detailed point-by-point justification.

  2. Sector benchmark.

    Comparison against peer institutions of similar size and regulatory figure. Where you are above the average, where you are below.

  3. Prioritized risk areas.

    Actionable list of critical findings ranked by regulatory and operational impact. What you need to fix before the next CNBV visit.

  4. Phased plan with priorities and indicative budget.

    Concrete roadmap: what to do first, what comes next and what can wait. With order-of-magnitude investment per phase.

How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

  1. First

    Short pre-call

    Brief qualification call. We confirm regulatory figure, approximate size, the technical lead who will participate, and session objectives.

  2. Then

    Initial diagnostic session

    Working session with a senior consultant. We cover the six areas with concrete technical questions. We take notes. We do not sell anything in this session.

  3. Finally

    Report delivery

    We send the executive report in PDF plus an optional follow-up session to review it with you and answer questions.

The report stays with you

What our initial diagnostic clients say.

  • “InnovaBlack's report gave us the medium-term technology plan that we presented to the board. The technical rigor was what convinced us.”

    — CEO of a SOFOM ER

  • “They came in without selling anything. They left with a map that my IT team had not been able to assemble in two years.”

    — Operations director, SOFIPO Level III

  • “The most valuable piece was the benchmark. For the first time I saw how my institution stood against the sector.”

    — Compliance officer, IFPE in formation

Frequently asked questions

Before scheduling, this is what we are asked most.

Is it really free? What is the catch?

Yes, free. No catch. The catch — if you want to call it that — is that we expect the report to be good enough to convince you to engage Launch or another service afterward. If not, you keep the report and we part on good terms.

Who runs the session?

A senior InnovaBlack consultant with proven regulatory experience in your figure. We do not send juniors to an initial diagnostic — the quality of the report depends on who is asking the questions.

What happens if I decide to engage later?

Initial diagnostic is independent. If you decide to engage Launch, AML compliance or another service, we start from the report as input. You do not have to repeat the diagnostic.

Can you sign an NDA before the session?

Yes, no problem. Send us your NDA template when requesting the audit and we sign before the pre-call.

Do you serve lenders outside Mexico?

InnovaBlack operates exclusively in Mexico and for Mexican regulated figures. Our regulatory expertise is CNBV/UIF/Banxico. If your institution is in another country, we recommend finding a local equivalent.
