AI Governance & Compliance
Platforms that help organizations manage the risk, policy, and compliance side of AI: inventorying models, monitoring for bias and drift, documenting decisions, and proving conformance to frameworks like the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. This is oversight and accountability, not threat protection.

These tools give teams a system of record for responsible AI: model and use-case registries, continuous monitoring for bias, drift, and performance, explainability and audit trails, and workflow for mapping controls to regulations such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001. They are aimed at risk, legal, and ML-governance owners who must show that AI is fair, documented, and compliant. For defending models against attacks like prompt injection or data exfiltration, see AI Security.

Top picks
01
Enterprise platform for AI governance, risk and compliance.
Credo AI is enterprise AI-governance software bought by risk, compliance and AI leaders, not an individual tool, and it typically involves a five- to six-figure annual investment plus implementation. Its value is strongest for organizations with meaningful regulatory exposure that need defensible documentation of AI risk decisions. Pricing is custom, adoption is a structured rollout, and buyers should scope it against their specific frameworks and the breadth of AI systems they must govern.

02
Policy-as-code AI governance and compliance for regulated industries.
Fairly AI is a very early-stage, independent startup (around $2M disclosed) focused on AI governance and compliance for regulated industries. Its policy-as-code and model-risk framing is genuinely aligned with what banks, insurers and healthcare buyers need, and it has notable accelerator/VC backers (Techstars, Benhamou Global Ventures). The honest caveat is scale: this is a small company competing with both better-funded AI-governance platforms and entrenched GRC vendors. Pricing is not public. Best evaluated as an emerging specialist, with careful due diligence on depth and support.

03
An enterprise AI governance platform for risk and compliance.
Holistic AI is an independent, London-based AI-governance vendor and one of the more established players in the category, with a strong EU AI Act focus and a 2026 move into active 'Guardian Agents'. A key accuracy caveat: online funding figures of $220M or $335M conflate it with an unrelated Paris company, 'H' (formerly 'Holistic AI') -- Holistic AI's own disclosed funding is far smaller (a Series B reported around $20M plus earlier rounds). It is a governance/compliance platform, not a runtime security tool, and pricing is enterprise and sales-led. Verify funding and pricing directly.
