Credo AI just took a major step toward solving one of the biggest hurdles in enterprise AI: governance at scale. With the launch of its Global Partner Program, the company has formalized alliances with more than 30 tech and consulting leaders, including Microsoft, IBM, Databricks, Booz Allen Hamilton, and McKinsey, to make trusted AI a reality, not just a talking point.

AI demand comes at a regulatory cost if companies can’t govern environments

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, so do the risks and regulatory demands that accompany it. From the EU AI Act to the NIST AI RMF, enterprises are under pressure to not only deploy AI but to do it responsibly. This means that transparency, oversight, and accountability must be built in from the start.

“AI governance is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s the competitive differentiator that separates AI leaders from AI laggards,” said Navrina Singh, founder and CEO, Credo AI. “But no single company can solve this challenge alone. Our Partner Program brings together the best in AI tooling, cloud, data, GRC and services to help organizations embed trust in AI and govern responsibly, at scale.”

A trusted fabric for scalable governance

Credo AI’s platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with the tools enterprises already use, spanning cloud platforms, model registries, and risk management systems. The goal is to build an enterprise-wide “trust fabric” that brings governance into every layer of the AI lifecycle, from design to deployment and beyond.

At launch, Credo AI’s partners span hyperscalers, ISVs, systems integrators, and audit firms, including:

Microsoft: integrating Credo AI with Azure AI Foundry to support responsible GenAI workflows and compliance readiness
IBM: powering compliance accelerators with watsonx.governance
Databricks: boosting visibility and accountability by integrating with MLflow for model tracking and discovery

“As AI becomes more deeply embedded in enterprise operations, it’s crucial to build out a robust AI governance ecosystem,” said Heather Gentile, director of product, IBM watsonx.governance. “IBM’s collaboration with Credo AI on Compliance Accelerators advances this goal, pooling expertise across organizations to fuel more responsible, transparent, and explainable AI.”

Four pillars of the partner program

The partner network isn’t just wide, it’s deep. Many of these organizations are not only partners but also customers, validating the credibility and utility of Credo AI’s platform in the real world.

From real-time oversight to packaged compliance workflows, the program promises four core benefits:

Integrated governance across AI/ML lifecycles
Unified AI risk visibility across models, data, and organizational layers
Regulatory alignment with emerging global standards
Faster time-to-value through pre-integrated, go-to-market-ready solutions

Trusted AI doesn’t happen in silos; it takes an ecosystem. And this is Credo AI’s bet on building it.

“Together, we’re defining a new standard for trusted AI,” Singh added. “The question isn’t whether your organization will need AI governance—it’s whether you’ll lead with it or be left behind.”Are you looking to learn more about AI managed services?
