for privacy, compliance, legal, and ai risk

Automated policy enforcement with real-time evidence

Only Transcend can answer “can I use this data” in real-time by encoding permissions, jurisdictions, and business policy directly into the systems that process customer data. Real-time governance built for the AI world. Humans in the loop only if you choose.

the status quoYou documented the policy. Can you prove it was enforced?

There’s a gap between what your governance framework requires and what your systems actually enforce. That gap is where regulatory risk, M&A diligence issues, and litigation exposure emerge. AI only magnifies theses risks. Documenting intent isn’t the same as proving compliance. When enforcement depends on manual processes, your controls are only as reliable as the last person who followed them.

The AI governance and privacy platform that automates compliance

Enforcement stays ahead of regulation

When the EU AI Act adds a requirement, a new US state law passes, or your internal data policies shift, Transcend propagates the update across every connected system without a redeployment project or manual update cycle.

DSR Automation saves you time

Data subject requests, including deletions, access, corrections, and Do Not Train, shouldn't drain your team's bandwidth. Transcend fulfills requests automatically across every connected system, with proof of completion on every action.

Audit-ready evidence, in real-time

Always have a complete, defensible record of what data exists, how it’s governed, and whether those controls were enforced. Transcend maintains that record continuously, so your team can respond with confidence instead of scrambling.

At the data layerEncodes permissions directly into your systems

Transcend encodes consent and preference signals directly into the enterprise systems that process customer data, so enforcement doesn't depend on humans following a process. Consent choices, preference signals, and data use restrictions are honored automatically across databases, SaaS platforms, AI pipelines, and marketing tools.

Automation at scaleLegal and business policy requirements enforced everywhere

The Policy Engine is where your team defines how customer data can be used, including jurisdictional consent requirements, Do Not Train obligations, cross-border transfer restrictions, AI use policies, and business rules. Encode them once and every connected system, model, and agent enforces them automatically. When regulations evolve, the policy updates centrally and propagates everywhere.

Built for privacy, compliance, and legal teams navigating compliance and AI

So did many of our customers. OneTrust manages the policy. Transcend manages the data. Most CMPs help legal feel confident on paper, but they don't ensure what's on paper is actually enforced in every enterprise system that touches customer data. If your consent signals aren't making it into your AI pipelines, your data warehouse, or your marketing stack, the banner isn't the problem.

Why Transcend. Why now

Encode AI Governance & Do Not Train

Launch AI initiatives your legal team can stand behind. Do Not Train signals, EU AI Act compliance, and AI data use restrictions built into every pipeline: enforced at the data layer and provable on demand.
