Credo AI, founded in 2020 by CEO Navrina Singh after nearly two decades building products at Microsoft and Qualcomm, governs AI systems specifically, generative AI, AI agents, and third-party models, rather than securing the broader cloud or email infrastructure the other tools in this category focus on.
That distinction matters as organizations deploy more AI agents and third-party models into production: Credo AI automates oversight, risk management, and compliance specifically for those AI systems, helping business and technical stakeholders measure and monitor AI-introduced risk. Forrester recognized Credo AI as a Leader in AI Governance, and the company ranked sixth in Applied AI on Fast Company's 2026 Most Innovative Companies list, alongside Google, Nvidia, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
Custom enterprise pricing runs roughly $30,000 to $150,000 or more a year depending on scale. For an organization deploying its own AI agents or third-party models into production that needs those specific systems governed for risk and compliance, rather than general cloud or email security, Credo AI's AI-system-specific governance focus addresses that directly.
