The automation layer for your GRC workflows
Purpose-built agents for IT compliance and governance. They run in the background, connect to your existing tools, and handle the busywork that shouldn't be done by you.
What You Can Use trail For
Automate your IT governance

Why trail's Agents
Why use trail's agents instead
of building your own?
Generic AI agents can draft text, have limited context and are less integrated. trail's agents understand GRC natively — and operate inside a controlled environment built for regulated work.
trail's agents understand GRC processes at the lowest level — they read your actual source files to act upon, e.g. to assess controls and find evidence. No invented sources. Every output is grounded in your real and current environment.
trail's Copy-on-Write mechanism means agents propose, but never commit without your approval. Every action is transparent, every output can be reviewed before it enters your audit trail. Human-in-the-loop by design and in a safe environment.
Already running your own AI models or agents? Plug them into trail's GRC infrastructure — the evidence store, control library, risk framework, and audit trail — and get all the compliance scaffolding without rebuilding it yourself.
Who Is It For
Works if you build or buy
Whether you are procuring IT and AI systems or developing them internally, trail's platform adapts to your workflow and governance needs.
Approve new tools and
vendors faster.
Speed up the manual multi-stage process of assessing, testing and approving procured software according to your IT security, data privacy and risk policies. trail's agents automate this pipeline end to end.
- Automated vendor risk screening against your policies
- AI-based control gap analysis with source citations
- Questionnaires processed automatically
- Procurement approval workflow in days, not months
Govern what you buy
and what you build.
If you both procure externally and develop IT or AI systems internally, your governance and data sources reach a high level of complexity. trail helps all of your stakeholders to keep everything in control at scale.
- Vendor plus internal governance in one platform
- Developer integrations to trail
- Documentation generated from all artefacts, be it code or PDFs
- Granular approval workflows and RBAC system
How It Works
Configure. Automate. Review.
Connect your tools and data sources
Sync trail to your existing sources or upload the relevant files — like Confluence, GitHub, ServiceNow, or your GRC platform. trail works as an automation layer on top or standalone.
Agent classifies your assets
For every use case and asset — procured or internally built — trail creates a registry entry, runs risk classifications, and maps applicable governance requirements and controls automatically.
Agent screens sources and assesses controls
trail reads your sources, policies, vendor's documentation and more to identify compliance gaps, run analyses and recommend control measures. It also finds and creates the evidence needed, pinpointing right to the source.
You review and approve.
Every agent output goes through our Copy-on-Write mechanism. You preview the agent's changes, edit if needed, and approve. The agent never commits anything without your sign-off. Full audit history of every change.
Compliance posture updated continuously
Once set up, agents can run on a continuous cycle. When source documents change, controls are re-evaluated. Gaps are flagged in real time — not discovered six months later in an audit.
