Credo AI Governance Platform

What it does

Credo AI Governance Platform is an enterprise system for governing artificial intelligence across its lifecycle, built for AI governance rather than adapted from a Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) tool. It gives risk, compliance, security and data science teams one place to discover the models, applications and agents an organization builds or buys, assess their risk, and enforce policy before and after deployment. Its proprietary Governance Knowledge Graph links regulations, business context and each system's configuration so controls vary by jurisdiction and use case.

How it works

The AI Registry catalogs models, applications, and agents, including shadow AI, with agent cards and dependency graphs. Risk Intelligence scores each system against an agentic risk and control library, and a Policy Engine turns policy packs for the EU AI Act, NIST's AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), ISO 42001, and SOC 2 into approval-gated workflows and audit evidence. Trace ingestion flags policy violations, drift, and unsafe agent behavior at runtime with human-in-the-loop escalation, while GAIA agents automate intake, evidence retrieval, risk assessment, and incident response. An Integrations Hub, SDKs, and a Microsoft Marketplace listing connect it to existing stacks.
