As AI adoption accelerates, organizations face challenges in managing shadow AI, data flows, and compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act and Colorado AI Act. Studies from 2024 revealed that over 50% of employees use unauthorized AI tools, and 95% of executives reported AI-related mishaps, yet only 7–8% of organizations have robust governance frameworks. Ardoq’s solution tackles these issues by providing a single source of truth for AI systems, identifying shadow AI, and ensuring compliance. “AI is creating both unprecedented opportunity and real uncertainty,” said Erik Bakstad, CEO and Co-Founder, Ardoq.
At the core of Ardoq’s platform is IntelliBond, a virtual intelligence layer that maps AI systems, data dependencies, and business outcomes without costly data replication. This enables leaders to visualize AI usage, track sensitive data flows, and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. “What makes Ardoq’s approach unique is its foundation in Enterprise Architecture,” said Dr. Jason Baragry, Chief Enterprise Architect, Ardoq. The platform’s vendor-agnostic design supports generative AI, proprietary LLMs, and industry-specific tools, ensuring scalability and flexibility.
Ardoq integrates AI governance into its Enterprise Architecture knowledge graph, connecting AI usage to business capabilities, KPIs, and transformation goals. This allows organizations to demonstrate value creation, prioritize investments, and retire high-risk AI use cases. Built-in controls, audit trails, and reporting tools help meet regulatory requirements, reducing risks of penalties or reputational harm. “Everything works better when it works together on purpose,” said Henrik Magnusson, Head of Architecture at SmartestEnergy, highlighting the platform’s ability to align AI with enterprise strategy.
Unlike standalone governance tools, Ardoq’s solution provides a 360-degree view of AI’s impact on people, processes, and technology. Its integration with AI assistants like Claude and Microsoft Copilot, via the MCP Server, enables secure, context-aware queries. This ensures organizations can adapt to evolving AI ecosystems while maintaining governance, making it a critical tool for navigating the data-driven future.
Ardoq’s Enterprise AI Management Solution empowers organizations to govern AI responsibly, align it with strategic objectives, and unlock its full potential. By addressing governance gaps and providing actionable insights, Ardoq sets a new standard for AI management in the enterprise.
