governade

Governade is a technology company that specializes in data governance, compliance, and privacy solutions. Founded by a team of experts in information security and artificial intelligence, the firm is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with additional offices in San Francisco and London. Its primary product is an AI‑powered knowledge graph platform that automatically discovers, classifies, and contextualises organisational data. The platform is designed to help enterprises identify data subjects, assess risk, and meet regulatory obligations such as GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001.

The core technology uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze unstructured content across cloud storage, on‑premises databases, and collaboration tools. By mapping data flows and access patterns, Governade enables businesses to create informed data policies, automate compliance reporting, and establish clear accountability structures. The platform also offers audit trail features that record data lineage and transformation events, which are valuable for regulatory inspections and internal reviews.

Governade targets mid‑sized and large organisations in sectors such as financial services, healthcare, and telecommunications, where data governance requirements are typically stringent. The company has formed partnerships with major cloud providers to integrate its solutions on platforms like Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. Its clients report improved data visibility, reduced manual effort in compliance processes, and faster audit turnaround times.

In addition to its commercial offerings, Governade contributes to the broader data governance ecosystem through open‑source research and participation in industry consortia. The company’s mission is to make data governance accessible, automated, and governed by clear, auditable frameworks.
