Credo AI, a global leader in enterprise AI governance, has officially launched a powerful integration with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry. This collaboration aims to resolve a critical friction point in AI development: the disconnect between governance teams and technical developers. The new solution enables real-time, embedded governance directly in the development workflow, helping enterprises scale AI responsibly and compliantly.
Tackling the Governance Gap in GenAI
1. Solving the GenAI Project Failure Problem
According to Gartner, 60% of GenAI projects are expected to fail post-proof-of-concept due to governance, data, and cost control issues. Developers often lack guidance on compliance, while governance teams are disconnected from technical workflows. This integration brings both groups into alignment, enabling scalable innovation grounded in accountability.
2. Proactive Governance Embedded in Development
Credo AI’s integration turns abstract governance policies into actionable code. Developers can now run governance-aligned evaluations—such as groundedness, hallucination, and bias checks—directly within their existing workflows. Results are fed back into the Credo AI platform, giving governance teams structured technical evidence to assess compliance and risk.
3. Operationalizing Policy-to-Code Translation
This integration marks a key step toward Credo AI’s broader mission of operationalizing governance. It enables governance teams to translate policy into concrete, code-level evaluation metrics, allowing for scalable oversight across every phase of the AI lifecycle. The result: faster approvals, lower risk, and smarter AI investments.
Integration Benefits at a Glance
- For Governance Teams: Structured technical evidence linked to each use case and regulatory framework
- For Developers: Prescriptive evaluation code built into workflows, aligned with governance mandates
- For Enterprises: End-to-end compliance mapped to global standards like the EU AI Act, NIST RMF, and ISO 42001
With built-in trust, organizations can accelerate time-to-value and streamline cross-functional collaboration on AI projects.
Real-World Impact and Early Success
Early adopters, including Global 2000 enterprises, are seeing measurable results. Microsoft and Credo AI report accelerated model approvals, more efficient multi-stakeholder collaboration, and stronger alignment between risk management and AI deployment.
Brad Mallard, CTO of Version1, shared:
“We’re using the new Credo AI and Microsoft Azure AI Foundry integration to streamline AI governance for our clients—embedding policy, risk, and compliance into development and easing the load on our AI Labs team.”
Credo AI’s integration with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry marks a critical evolution in AI governance—bridging the gap between compliance and innovation. By embedding governance into the development process, enterprises can now scale GenAI with confidence, responsibility, and speed.
