The black box opens: introducing AI Governance Expert

For the past year, our team at Relyance AI has been building something the market urgently needed—not because analysts predicted it, but because our customers demanded it. They told us: “We’re deploying AI everywhere, but we have no idea what’s really happening with our data.”

Today, we’re proud to announce the general availability of AI Governance Expert — the industry’s first comprehensive AI governance solution powered by Data Journeys™.

This milestone completes our vision to deliver a unified, AI-native Data Defense Platform with dedicated product experts for Data Security, AI Governance, and Global Privacy Automation.
For every enterprise racing to harness AI safely, this release turns the unknown into the known.

Why AI Governance can’t wait

AI innovation is accelerating faster than most organizations can govern it.

  • Only 24% of AI initiatives are properly secured.
  • 65% of AI tools operate without IT approval.
  • New regulations arrive quarterly—EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF—and manual processes simply can’t keep up.

The result is tension: engineering teams moving at AI speed versus governance teams working on quarterly cycles. One shadow AI tool or one dataset with undisclosed PII can expose everything—putting trust, compliance, and business continuity at risk.

How AI Governance Expert works

1. Live AI inventory and shadow AI discovery

Automatically discover every model, API, and SaaS-embedded AI across your enterprise—whether first-party, third-party, or shadow AI. Track new deployments in real time and get a living inventory of your full AI footprint.

AI Inventory

This view shows every AI system built or deployed inside your organization, along with its governance status, data sensitivity, risk tier, and ownership.

2. Complete AI data lineage

Traditional tools track where data goes. Relyance AI tracks how data changes what AI systems do.
From training pipelines to runtime prompts, AI Governance Expert maps sensitive data flows, highlights risky transformations, and unifies lineage across every model.

3. Continuous compliance and risk monitoring

Gap detection and AI risk assessments are automatically mapped to EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF.
Governance becomes continuous, proactive, and aligned to deployment speed—not point-in-time.

The Data Journeys difference

What sets Relyance AI apart is Data Journeys™, the core intelligence engine that powers AI Governance Expert.

While others track column-to-column transformations, Data Journeys continuously maps 100% of your data’s movement across environments—discovering where AI models are used, what they process, why they exist, and who has access.

This transforms governance from static documentation into dynamic, evidence-based visibility. It’s what allows you to prove—not just assume—responsible AI.

Limited-time offer: 30 days of free trial access!

To celebrate general availability, Relyance AI is offering 30 days of free access to our AI Visibility features—available for a limited time to qualified organizations.

See what’s really happening inside your enterprise AI environment:

  • Detects hidden shadow AI tools instantly.
  • Identify third-party AI functionality embedded in your SaaS stack.
  • View live AI risk scores for every vendor and model in use.

Why act now

  • Shadow AI is spreading fast: 65% of AI tools operate without IT approval.
  • Regulations are multiplying: New compliance frameworks appear every quarter.
  • Early movers win: Teams who act now will be six months ahead in governance maturity.

Qualifying participants will receive 30 days of free AI Visibility features—no strings attached.
