Encoded AI Governance

Your models are ready. Is your data?

Transcend is the only platform that encodes data permissions, Do Not Train rules, and governance policies directly into the systems your models and agents use, so every data decision is not just documented but enforced at runtime.

The status quoLegacy tools were not built for AI governance

Documentation of policy and manual scans don’t work in the AI and agentic world. Every time a user opts out of AI training, that signal has to reach every model, pipeline, and agent automatically. Without that unified layer, governance becomes a bottleneck and your launch is delayed.

Six digital marketing and AI features, including "AI-driven personalization," are listed as "BLOCKED" next to a prominent green padlock icon.

ai governance, built in

With Transcend, businesses can launch revenue initiatives at the speed of AI with audit-ready confidence

Do Not Train, enforced everywhere

When a user opts out of AI training, that signal reaches every model, pipeline, and agent automatically. No manual review, no lag between user choice and system enforcement, no compliance gap before your next launch. All with evidence.

Consent & Preference Management

Data deletion across your full stack

Remove users’ data from your entire stack, including databases, warehouses, and AI pipelines, with automated deletion requests and real-time always available audit trails. Humans in the loop only if you want.

Prove training data is clean before launch

AI rollbacks happen when teams can't prove training data was approved for use. Transcend provides end-to-end data provenance, mapping data to the column level and connecting it to consent and policy, so compliance is verified before launch.

Encoded governanceRuntime enforcement, not monitoring.

GRC documentation doesn't stop an agent from using data it shouldn't. Transcend's Airgap technology enforces permissions at the network layer, meaning every data request gets a live yes or no based on the current permission state of that user, across every system, model, and agent.

automation at scaleGovernance keeps pace with regulation automatically

When regulations shift, Transcend propagates the update automatically across every system, model, and agent. No manual update cycle. No gap between what the policy says and what your systems do. It’s proactive. Always with evidence.

Secure by designYour data never leaves your environment

Transcend's Sombra gateway is self-hosted. Your API keys stay yours, no new breach surface is introduced, and sensitive data is governed inside your own infrastructure. It's the only architecture in the category built this way and the reason enterprises with the most regulated data trust Transcend.

Thousands of integrationsSeamless connections, comprehensive enforcement

Governance that stops at the policy layer doesn't reach your CRM, your data warehouse, your AI pipelines, or your ad platforms. Transcend connects directly, not through webhooks or middleware, so consent and permission signals travel automatically into every system where customer data actually flows.
