Transcend
Real-time data governance with AI governance middleware for LLMs.
About
Transcend provides real-time data governance and a decision layer for privacy compliance. The platform maps personal data down to the column level, encodes data permissions and Do Not Train rules into AI systems, and automates data subject requests across every system.
For AI governance, Transcend offers Pathfinder, an AI governance middleware for data going in and out of LLMs, plus Prompt Manager for governance prompts. System discovery automatically classifies AI vendors against EU AI Act risk tiers. The Sombra security gateway provides self-hosted zero-trust architecture for sensitive data.
