Credo AI

What the company sells

Credo AI sells a platform that helps enterprises discover their AI, enforce policy and manage AI risk across every agent, application, model and AI vendor. Credo AI says its platform is powered by a Knowledge Graph that fuses global regulatory intelligence with business context, and that forward-deployed experts back it.

Credo AI says enterprises are deploying agents, models and applications at unprecedented speed. Credo AI says agents now act autonomously, in milliseconds, thousands of times an hour. Credo AI says governance is still manual, fragmented and stuck in spreadsheets.

Credo AI's platform discovers and catalogs every AI system, agent, vendor and model, and gives visibility into shadow AI. Credo AI's platform includes a purpose-built agentic risk and control library for tool misuse, scope drift and inter-agent risk. Credo AI's platform connects to observability and monitoring tools for continuous monitoring, drift detection and real-time alerts. Credo AI's platform turns policy into code with pre-built policy packs, automated workflows and audit-ready evidence. Credo AI describes its platform as discovering, assessing, governing, monitoring and reporting on every AI agent, model and application across an enterprise. Credo AI offers model-level, application-level and agent-level governance in one platform. Credo AI says customers can start with what they need and expand as AI adoption grows.

GAIA (Govern AI Assistant) is generally available in the Credo AI platform. Credo AI's governance AI agents retrieve evidence, assess risk, generate governance plans and remediate incidents, with human oversight for critical decisions. Credo AI's platform evaluates agent traces continuously to detect policy violations, drift and unsafe behavior, with human-in-the-loop escalation.

Credo AI offers ready-to-deploy policy packs for EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and beyond. Credo AI's pre-built policy packs cover EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and SOC 2, with automated governance workflows and audit-ready evidence. Credo AI says its policy packs are written by the team in the room where AI governance standards are made, naming ISO, NIST, the EU Parliament, NATO and OECD. Credo AI says its Knowledge Graph is fused with business context from 300+ integrations and forward-deployed governance experts.

Credo AI's Vendor Portal streamlines the collection of AI risk-specific evidence from vendors. Customers can track third-party AI systems in a centralized registry and apply Credo AI Policy Packs to set specific requirements. Vendors receive an email with a link and login to the vendor portal, and vendors are responsible for proving that their system meets the policy pack requirements. Customers can evaluate an HR tool's compliance with New York City Local Law 144 (LL-144) by registering the tool in Credo AI's platform. Evidence provided by vendors is captured in Credo AI's platform, and customers can use it to generate reports, dashboards and other artifacts.

The Insight Hub maps all 166 regulations to a unified library of 80 risks and 116 controls. Credo AI says full access to the Hub is free, and that its AI Governance Experts update the Hub continuously. Credo AI's platform automatically records every decision made during the governance process, creating a paper trail that customers can use to audit their internal governance processes.

Credo AI says its platform is adopted by Mastercard, Booz Allen, and early Fortune 500 pioneers. Credo AI says it has expanded to 30+ enterprise partners including Microsoft, IBM, Databricks. Mastercard says features like AI Registry and Vendor Registry have allowed it to maintain control of all AI use cases. One customer quoted by Credo AI says the platform accelerated its ability to comply with the EU AI Act by at least 10x the speed of doing it manually.^{[1][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]}
