Airia: the factory infographic
One governance layer for AI: agents, models, tools, data, runtime policy and audit evidence.
What the company does
In normal terms
AI security and governance platform: one control layer for agents, models, tools, data access, runtime policy, red teaming and audit-ready evidence.
Airia offers enterprises a single platform to secure and govern agents, models, tools and data access, with runtime policy and evidence.
In lay terms
Airia is a control tower for all the company's AI: it watches, sets rules and keeps the logbook.
The risks it faces, especially from AI agents
In normal terms
- Governance without insurance. Runtime policy reduces risk, but leaders and insurers still need a statement of accepted residual risk.
- Agents outside the tower. Agents built outside the platform are not governed by it.
- Crowded market. Many governance layers compete; buyers ask what makes one trustworthy.
In lay terms
- Governance without insurance. The control tower helps, but who pays if a plane still crashes?
- Agents outside the tower. Planes that never talk to the tower.
- Crowded market. Five control towers, which one do you trust?

In normal terms
RiskMandate's distinctive point is an insurable, evidenced policy per agent with a licence to operate. Airia governs at runtime; RiskMandate is the record that leaders and insurers sign off. Meet to compare and find where the two add up.
In lay terms
Airia runs the control tower; RiskMandate is the flight licence each plane needs before take-off.
A first line for the conversation: You govern AI at runtime. We give each agent a licence an insurer can read. Where do we meet?
