Holistic AI
The enterprise AI governance platform
By Holistic AI · HQ San Francisco, US · 4.2/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Enterprises deploying AI, LLMs and agents at scale that need one current inventory, continuous risk testing and audit-ready compliance evidence.
- Security, legal and compliance teams facing EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, NYC bias audit or ISO/IEC 42001 obligations.
- Organizations that need to discover shadow AI across cloud, code repositories and SaaS before auditors or regulators do.
- Teams that want policy enforcement, deployment gates and human oversight wired in rather than tracked in spreadsheets.
Ideal size: 500+ employees people · Enterprise with a formal responsible-AI or AI governance program
Not for
- Small companies with little or no AI in production and no governance or compliance mandate.
- Buyers who want self-serve, publicly priced software they can trial and buy without a sales cycle.
- Teams that want to build or train models; Holistic AI governs AI, it does not build it.
- Organizations unwilling to complete an enterprise security review and mutual NDA to obtain audit reports.

AI features shipped
Guardian Agents (Sentinel and Operative) observe every agent action, score it against policy and can block, redirect or escalate; the platform maps controls and evidence to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 and tests models and LLM apps for bias, hallucination, privacy and robustness.

Bottom line
Holistic AI is an enterprise AI governance platform that discovers AI, LLMs and agents across cloud, code and SaaS, tests them for bias, security and robustness, and enforces policy with audit-ready evidence. It maps controls to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001, and its Guardian Agents observe and can block or escalate autonomous agent actions. Reference customers include Unilever, Starling Bank, Wikimedia and MindBridge. Pricing is quote-based and the platform targets large, regulated enterprises.
Frequently asked questions
What does Holistic AI actually do?
It is an AI governance platform, not a model builder. It connects to cloud, code and SaaS systems to discover and inventory every AI model, agent and application, including shadow AI; tests them for bias, hallucination, privacy, robustness and adversarial risk before and after launch; and turns policy into controls, approvals, deployment gates and guardrails with evidence mapped to frameworks such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
How is Holistic AI priced?
The vendor does not publish pricing. Commercials are quote-based through a demo request, and buyers should expect an enterprise annual subscription rather than a per-seat list price. Scope is likely to depend on the number of AI systems governed, the frameworks you need evidence for, and the connectors in scope, so ask for a written quote that separates platform fees from any audit or advisory services.
Which regulations and frameworks does it cover?
The platform maps controls and evidence to the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, and the vendor also supports NYC bias audit work. The trust center describes UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 report. ISO/IEC 42001 is stated as in progress and not yet held.
Does Holistic AI train models on our data?
No. The vendor's trust center states that it does not use customer data to train models and does not build or train models of its own: the platform assesses and governs the AI systems customers build or buy and does not learn from the data it handles. Customer data is hosted in the UK by default, with US customers hosted in the United States.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor publishes no onboarding timeline. Setup centres on connecting sources such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, GitHub, GitLab, Databricks, Snowflake and SharePoint, then configuring risk tests and policies. Holistic AI's own customer data cites eight to sixteen weeks of deployment delay per AI system when governance is manual, which is the problem the platform is sold to remove. Plan for an enterprise security review and a mutual NDA before audit documents are released.
What security assurance do we get?
The trust center states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification covering 92 of 93 Annex A controls with no nonconformities at the 2026 audit, and a SOC 2 Type 2 report covering Security, Availability, Confidentiality and Privacy. Certificates, audit reports, penetration test summaries, policies and questionnaires are available to customers and prospects under a signed mutual NDA.
