Evidence infrastructure for AI governance

Progressio.ai was founded in 2022 to develop autonomous auditing technology that finds, assesses and organises the evidence behind high-risk AI systems and links it to regulatory, standards, customer and internal governance requirements.

We enable legal and audit teams by reducing the time and specialist effort needed to find and assess evidence, identify gaps, take remedial action; and engage with customers and regulators with confidence.

Our founding team spent the past decade building enterprise AI and scaling it across more than 3000 Fortune 500 locations; practising technology law in high-growth AI providers servicing highly regulated industries.

Our mission

Enable businesses to cut through the legal complexity of AI by finding the evidence that matters, identifying gaps, and taking action with confidence.
