The practical, certifiable solution for responsible, scalable, and trusted AI in startups and SMEs.
Why Agentic AI Governance is the New Standard for Startups & SMEs
The next generation of AI is here—autonomous, self-improving, and agentic systems are no longer just for Big Tech. Over 90% of startups and SMEs now use AI-driven solutions in their core business, with agentic logic entering the mainstream. But with new opportunities come new risks: emergent behaviors, dynamic goal changes, unpredictable interactions, and rising regulatory expectations (EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001).
Classic compliance is not enough. Startups and SMEs need operational, certifiable governance—right-sized for speed and scale.
Built on five global pillars: Trust, Governance, Risk, Compliance, and measurable Culture & Inclusion – not theory, but practical, certifiable action for SMEs and startups.

If your AI makes autonomous decisions, interacts with users or other systems, or can adapt/go beyond simple rules—you need agentic governance.
