- Helps in the implementation of controls based on ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF
- Real-time monitoring
Cons
- Possibility to configure regulatory frameworks where evaluations, documentation, and metrics can be mapped to legal or standard requirements.
- Possibility to generate structured audit packs aligned to standards or regulations such as ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act.
- Provide pre-built connectors for common GRC platforms such as OneTrust, Vanta or Drata.
- Automation of model validation and monitoring
- Detection and remediation of AI issues
- Internal assurance and defensibility of responsible AI practices
- Adoption of AI GRC best practices
Continuous and automated model monitoring, quantitative bias and fairness evaluation, explainability (at the technical level), model lifecycle traceability, and objective evidence for internal assurance and audits.

- Credo AI and Holistic AI
IBM watsonx.governance is best at technical and model-level assurance. However, Credo AI is best at governance program operations, policies and registries. Holistic AI is best at end-to-end AI governance program and compliance readiness.
Since we are already using an enterprise GRC platform, an end-to-end AI governance program was not our priority. Our priority was validation and monitoring of AI models, which is what IBM watsonx.governance is best at.
