Bias in AI systems — a hiring algorithm that quietly favors one group, a lending model with a blind spot — is hard to catch by manual review, and it's only one piece of the broader compliance question a company faces once AI is running across the business. Holistic AI began as a specialist in exactly that bias-detection problem and has since grown into a full governance platform, the way a security company that started with one type of audit often expands into full-spectrum risk monitoring. Holistic AI is an AI governance platform that evolved from a bias-auditing specialist into full-lifecycle governance, including 'shadow AI' discovery (finding AI tools used inside a company without formal approval) and automated risk testing with continuous compliance monitoring. Its open-source Python library, holisticai (MIT licensed, on PyPI), remains publicly available for bias and fairness auditing, while the commercial platform adds discovery, monitoring and reporting on top. It was featured in Gartner's first-ever Magic Quadrant for AI Governance Platforms (July 2026), a notable industry validation. Pricing is enterprise-only with no public tiers — the pricing page returns no published rates, requiring direct contact with sales.

A control room for every AI system a company uses — tracking what exists, what risk it carries, and whether it meets legal requirements — so compliance doesn't mean chasing spreadsheets across departments when an audit or new regulation shows up.
Tool that automatically checks whether a company's actual systems meet security certification requirements (like SOC 2), instead of someone manually screenshotting settings for an auditor once a year.
Compliance automation tool that continuously watches a company's real systems and pulls the evidence a security auditor needs automatically, instead of a team assembling it by hand before every audit.
No-code platform that lets a bank or fintech's risk team build their own fraud and money-laundering detection rules, investigate flagged cases, and file the required regulatory reports.
Fraud-detection system that scores a payment as risky or safe while it's happening — checking the device, behavior and identity behind it — instead of catching fraud only after the money's already gone.
Identity governance platform that discovers, manages and secures every human and non-human identity (including AI agents) across a company's SaaS and cloud apps.
Language-agnostic AI content moderation platform that filters abusive content, fraud and spam in real time across virtually any language or dialect.
AI content moderation API that detects harmful text, images, video and audio (NSFW, hate speech, violence, CSAM, AI-generated content) at scale.
Open-source gateway that lets AI agents call APIs without ever seeing your real API keys — real secrets are injected transparently at the network level.
Identity and fraud decisioning platform that connects a single API to 270+ data providers, letting banks and fintechs orchestrate KYC/KYB, fraud and transaction monitoring across the whole customer lifecycle.
Identity verification API for KYC, KYB and fraud checks — document scanning, selfie liveness checks, and no-code workflows to route or auto-approve verifications.
AI-powered security platform combining automated pentesting, code review and cloud vulnerability scanning to find and fix exploitable issues before attackers do.
