About Talon Global

Talon Global is an early-stage company with one belief. Compliance software is being rebuilt around AI, and most of the market is racing to let the software act on its own. For anyone who carries real regulatory liability, that is the wrong trade.

Talon CO is the deliberate inverse. The AI does the heavy lifting, a person stays accountable for every consequential call, and the record always names the model that made the proposal. Human-led, AI-augmented, audit-ready by default. The knowledge is built in too: a Standards Library that carries eleven standards and 802 clauses in plain English, each mapped to the requirement it satisfies, so the system does not just store your compliance, it understands it.

Talon CO was built by Darren Watts, and it exists because he needed it and it did not.

He spent over a decade doing the actual compliance work in maritime and security operations: Managing Director at MNG Maritime, senior operations and compliance leadership at EOS Risk Group, and most recently group compliance for a private maritime security group. He qualified as an ISO 9001 Lead Auditor and works as a practising third-party auditor. Along the way he took a five-entity group to ISO certification across five standards on a single certificate, and built management systems from nothing to a passed audit in a matter of weeks.

He is not the person you would picture running a compliance software company, and he is the first to say so. He came up through the work rather than a computer science degree, taught himself to build, and made the tool he always wanted to hand his own teams.
