Saidot

Saidot Ltd is an AI governance company headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, at Lapinlahdenkatu 16. Founded in 2018, it describes itself as an agentic-first, graph-based AI governance company that helps enterprises and public organisations govern AI systems, agents, models, and datasets at scale. The team spans ML and LLM engineering, policy, law, product, design, and business, and the company operates remote-first while combining European AI policy expertise with technical governance experience.

Saidot has built visibility through a collaboration with Microsoft on Azure AI, availability on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, and recognition in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Governance Platforms. Its information security management system is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by Prescient Security. Reported customers and references include the Scottish Government and Deloitte, and the company has been featured across outlets such as Sifted, Harvard Business Review, and the Financial Times.

The core of the product is the Saidot Graph, which links agents and other AI systems to their models, datasets, risks, policies, and controls. A centralised AI inventory keeps everything in one place, risks inherit automatically from linked third-party models and datasets, and an Agent Catalogue lets teams register agents, classify the risk of the tools each agent can access, and track inherited risks. Automations handle lifecycle approvals, risk and control inheritance, and classification, while observability features turn runtime events into governance actions such as incidents, reviews, and alerts through Slack, Jira, or webhooks.

On compliance, Saidot maps curated controls to the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST RMF, GDPR, and 110+ other policies, supports collect-once evidence reuse across systems, and exports audit-ready transparency reports. Connectivity is a major theme: built-in integrations with Azure AI Foundry and Amazon Bedrock, REST APIs and webhooks for other AI, ML, and GRC platforms, and MCP servers that let an organisation own AI assistants draft risk assessments, register systems, and research the knowledge graph while humans retain approval control.

Saidot targets enterprises and public sector organisations in Europe and globally that must govern AI systematically, particularly those exposed to the EU AI Act and adjacent standards. Its buyers are typically compliance, legal, risk, and AI or ML leaders who need a shared source of truth across functions, and it is well suited to organisations governing agentic AI and large portfolios of third-party models.

Saidot raised a EUR 1.75 million seed round announced in October 2023, led by Crowberry Capital and Ventic, and including a EUR 250K contribution from Business Finland after Saidot was selected for its Young Innovative Companies program. The funding was earmarked for expanding the company European presence and developing tools for evaluating and implementing safety measures for generative AI systems. Later funding rounds, total capital raised beyond the seed, and current valuation are not publicly disclosed.
