What the company sells

Transcend provides a data permissioning and AI governance platform that controls what AI agents can access, spend, and do at runtime. The platform centers on Transcend Rails, agent policy-as-code that enforces business rules and regulations before an agent acts, logging every decision for audit purposes. It also includes Consent & Preference Management, which keeps opt-in and opt-out choices synced across marketing, data, and AI systems, and DSR Automation, which handles data subject access requests across connected systems. Sombra adds end-to-end encryption so sensitive customer data stays protected as it moves through the platform.^[1]
