Best AI governance tools for privacy teams
24 tools · last reviewed 2026-07
Privacy functions were governing algorithmic decisions long before AI governance had a name, and in most organisations the DPIA process is what AI risk assessment gets grafted onto. These tools extend privacy tooling into AI oversight, which makes them a natural fit where the privacy office owns the mandate.
How to choose
Look for reuse of existing DPIA and records-of-processing workflows rather than a parallel program your team has to run twice.
