AI agents running the accelerator automate Critical Data Element classification, data lineage tracing, and audit evidence generation, reducing compliance preparation from months to days. Each element is also self-improving, removing the need for manual maintenance. Early deployments at Canadian financial institutions have produced complete, auditor-ready evidence packages ahead of the September 2026 enforcement deadline. Additional solutions targeting regulatory frameworks and industries are currently under development through the partnership.“PwC Canada has been helping financial institutions navigate complex regulatory change for decades. This partnership builds on our existing technology capabilities by accelerating how we operationalize that expertise at scale, enabling us to bring proven solutions to new industries and evolving regulatory frameworks,” said Prithviraj Thakur (PRT), Partner and Data Management Practice Lead, PwC Canada.“Data governance is becoming a board-level issue across every regulated industry,” said Jonathan Bruce, VP Global Partnerships, Alation. “PWC’s domain expertise now has a technology platform that lets them accelerate time to value for their customers. We’ve proven the model with the E-21 accelerator, and we’re just getting started.”Joint solutions under the Alation and PwC Canada partnership are available through PwC Canada as the primary delivery partner.
