Unify Business & 
Data Teams

Align your business, risk, and data teams around a shared language for managing your critical data. Purpose-built AI agents translate the language of risk and compliance into measurable data management standards. Transform governance from a fragmented, manual process into a continuous system of alignment and accountability.

Declare Your Standards

Roll out your governance operating system where policies and intent are declaratively expressed and automatically realized through agents and automations. Define desired outcomes one time as agents draft standards, semantically map CDEs across the data ecosystem, and automatically monitor compliance.
