| AIGov | Credo AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | A kit of editable policies, checklists and training. Documents, not software. | An enterprise AI governance platform with registries, workflow automation, monitoring and audit trails. |
| Scope | The foundation: acceptable-use policy, use-case inventory, risk tiering, approval workflow and RACI, incident response, audit checklist, AI literacy training. Banking Pack adds banking-specific content. | Governance of AI use cases, models, agents and vendors across industries, with policy packs for the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and SOC 2. Financial services is one vertical among several. |
| Who it fits | Compliance, risk and operations leaders at community and mid-size banks, credit unions and fintechs with no dedicated AI governance function. | Organizations running an enterprise-wide, multi-framework AI governance program. |
| How you start | Edit the files and adopt them. Checkout is not open yet, so join the notify list for launch. | Sales-led. Also available through Microsoft Marketplace via a private offer. |
| Pricing model | Pricing coming soon and will be published. The only price set today is $99/year for Living Updates. | No published list price. Quote-based. |
| Editable files | Word, Excel and PDF files you edit and own for your institution. | Not applicable. A software platform rather than a set of editable files. |
| Named bank reference | None yet. | Publicly names Mastercard as a customer using its AI Registry and Vendor Registry. |
| SOC 2 Type II | No. AIGov is a document kit and holds no certifications. | Reports a SOC 2 Type II review of security, availability and confidentiality controls by an independent AICPA-certified service auditor. |
| Core banking controls | Banking Pack covers fair-lending testing, model-risk mapping and third-party AI review (section-level source mapping in review). | Controls such as model validation, credit-decision governance and fair lending are not emphasized in its public materials. That is not proof it lacks them. |
Banks often need the foundation before they need the platform. Define your policies, use-case inventory, risk tiers, RACI and evidence first. When your program outgrows documents, that work is ready to carry into a platform such as Credo AI, ValidMind or OneTrust instead of starting from a blank screen.
We have not verified that any specific platform accepts imported policy documents. Confirm the import path with the vendor before you plan around it.
