A Platform Built for Real-World Oversight
Credo AI isn't a generic GRC add-on—it’s a purpose-built platform for managing AI risk and oversight at scale. Organizations use Credo AI to:
- Govern GenAI, LLMs, and traditional models

Navrina Singh on Why This Matters
“We believe Forrester’s recognition underscores what we’ve long prioritized—policy management and compliance depth are not just checkboxes; they are the foundation for scaling trusted AI responsibly,” said Navrina Singh, Founder & CEO of Credo AI. “We built Credo AI to move organizations beyond theory into operational AI governance that’s measurable, defensible, and aligned to real-world risks. This recognition belongs to our customers and partners who are proving that trustworthy, responsible AI is not just aspirational—it’s achievable.”
Governance Is No Longer Optional
With AI adoption accelerating and regulatory demands rising, governance is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s now a board-level priority:
- Trust in AI has declined 15 percentage points in the U.S. since 2020
- The EU AI Act will impose fines of up to €35M for non-compliance
- 1 in 4 enterprises report reputational harm due to poor AI governance
Credo believes that Forrester’s recognition signals that we are the partner of choice for enterprises navigating this complexity. From risk to regulation, Credo AI turns policy into performance.
What our customers say:
“Working with the Credo AI platform accelerated our ability to be compliant with the EU AI Act by at least 10x the speed of trying to do it manually. By partnering with Credo AI, we are able to ensure our understanding of requirements is clear from the outset, which makes downstream demonstration of evidence against controls that much easier and faster. When it comes to high risk AI like talent matching, using an AI governance platform like Credo AI is paramount to remaining a trustworthy leader in your industry.” - Brian DeAngelis, Chief Data Scientist, AdeptID
What our partners say:
“Congratulations to Credo AI for being recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™ for AI Governance Platforms, Q3 2025. Microsoft is excited to partner with Credo AI to help customers accelerate trusted AI adoption on Azure. By integrating governance into the development lifecycle, we are reducing friction between data science and governance teams — enabling developers to innovate freely while ensuring organizations maintain trust, transparency, and strong guardrails. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to simplify AI governance without slowing developers down, and to empower customers to scale trusted AI governance with confidence.” – Mehrnoosh Sameki, Principal PM Manager, Generative AI / Agents Evaluation Science and Governance PM Lead, Microsoft
