We are thrilled to announce that Credo AI is now available on the Microsoft Marketplace. This milestone represents something we believe will fundamentally change how enterprises approach AI governance—making it seamless, integrated, and aligned with how development teams actually work.
The Challenge We're Solving
From my conversations with CIOs, CTOs, Chief Legal Officers, and Chief Risk Officers across the industry, I hear the same story: AI is scaling faster than governance can keep up. GenAI, copilots, and agentic systems are moving from pilots to production, but governance remains a bottleneck—often treated as an afterthought rather than built into the development process itself.
The gap between "build first, govern later" is costing organizations time, creating risk exposure, and slowing down AI initiatives that could drive real business value. It’s why shadow AI is overtaking sanctioned AI, and why enterprises have scaled AI adoption yet agentic is getting stuck.
How We're Addressing It
With Credo AI now in the Microsoft Marketplace, we're enabling Azure customers to embed governance directly where their teams are already working:
- Seamless deployment using existing Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC)—no separate procurement or contracting required
- Native integration with Azure AI Foundry workflows, so developers can evaluate use-case/systems risk, safety, and compliance as they build, not after deployment
- Regulatory alignment with frameworks like the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and internal policies—all within the Azure ecosystem
The outcome: AI that moves faster because it has the right guardrails, not in spite of them.
Independent Oversight That Actually Works
One of the biggest tensions I see in enterprise AI is balancing speed with credible oversight. By bringing Credo AI's governance layer into Azure's development stack, we're giving organizations both:
- For developers: Clear guidance and automated policy checks integrated into their workflow
- For governance teams: Complete visibility into AI use cases, models, vendors, and risk across the organization
- For executives: Confidence that AI is scaling responsibly and meeting regulatory expectations
This approach eliminates friction and closes the governance gap that typically slows enterprise AI adoption.
Why This Matters for Your Organization
If you're building on Azure, this listing simplifies everything:
- No additional infrastructure to manage
- Full alignment with Azure's security, scale, and data residency standards
- Faster onboarding and immediate time-to-value
- Governance that moves at the speed of development
Whether your teams are building foundation model pipelines, copilots, domain-specific agents, or GenAI applications, we can bring the oversight you need directly into your existing Azure environment.
Looking Ahead
Our mission at Credo AI has always been to help organizations operationalize trusted AI at scale. This Marketplace listing is a significant step in making that vision accessible to every Azure customer.
