Choose Credo AI when

You want pure-play AI governance with mature policy packs and analyst recognition.
You’re comfortable with cloud-SaaS for AI-system metadata.
You don’t need SOC 2 / ISO 27001 in the same tool.

Choose Probatum when

You need both AI governance (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF) AND traditional GRC (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA) in one tool — without duplicate evidence collection.
You won’t ship model cards, datasets, or prompts to a vendor cloud.
You need cryptographic proof your conformity package wasn’t altered.

Credo AI is the cloud-SaaS pioneer for AI governance. Probatum is the only AI-governance auditor that runs in the same trust boundary as the AI it audits — and ships traditional GRC frameworks too.
