Credo AI

Credo AI is an AI governance software vendor incorporated in February 2020 by Navrina Singh and headquartered in Palo Alto, California. It addresses the gap between AI adoption and AI control inside large regulated enterprises: the company’s State of AI Governance 2026 report finds 60% of enterprises are scaling AI while only 4% govern it, leaving banks unable to evidence to supervisors which models and agents are in use and under what controls.

The platform provides an AI Registry with shadow AI detection to inventory models, applications, agents and third-party vendors; risk intelligence with continuous monitoring; a policy engine that records audit-ready evidence; and purpose-built controls for agentic risk. Policies map to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, OMB M-25, Colorado ADMT and NAIC AI requirements. Named customers include Mastercard, Principal Financial, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Databricks, Autodesk and Booz Allen Hamilton. Credo AI was named a Leader in the Forrester Wave for AI Governance Solutions, Q3 2025.
