Naaia

Naaia is a Paris-based governance-and-compliance platform positioning itself as Europe's first AI Management System (AIMS) structured around the ISO/IEC 42001 standard. Founded in 2022 by a team of three technology lawyers and a digital-transformation specialist, the company reflects a legal-first design philosophy: it translates regulatory obligations, most prominently the EU AI Act, into concrete workflows, risk classifications, and audit-ready evidence. The platform provides a centralized registry that acts as a single source of truth for an organization's AI systems, models, and components, then layers on a compliance engine, continuous risk assessment, product monitoring, and real-time dashboards. Naaia targets multi-entity enterprises operating across jurisdictions, public-sector bodies with transparency mandates, and growing SMEs, and it markets to GRC, compliance, legal, and risk stakeholders rather than to model builders. Beyond the EU AI Act and ISO 42001, it maps to emerging regimes including NIST AI RMF and various US state and international laws, and it complements the software with an academy for AI literacy. Its regulatory depth and European focus are strengths; its comparatively young footprint and emphasis on documentation over runtime enforcement mean it pairs best with, rather than replaces, technical guardrail tooling.
