Company profile
researched Sep 2026Magier AI builds security, governance and compliance tooling for organizations deploying large language models and other AI systems. Its platform maps AI controls to regulatory and certification frameworks, tracks inherent and vendor risk, monitors AI tool usage including unsanctioned "shadow AI," and assembles evidence for audits without manual screenshot and spreadsheet collection. Supported framework packs include SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, GDPR, HIPAA, and Saudi and UAE personal data protection laws (PDPL). Additional modules include a trust center that displays an organization's AI governance posture to external parties and automated drafting of security questionnaire responses backed by stored evidence.
The company also describes itself as privacy-first AI security infrastructure providing a control layer for AI systems: real-time data protection, policy-as-code guardrails, and audit-grade visibility across AI workflows. The platform is intended to prevent PII, PHI, PCI and intellectual property from being exposed to or retained by LLMs, copilots and AI-powered applications, redacting and transforming sensitive data across text, voice, image and document workflows before it reaches AI systems. Third-party model and vendor monitoring covers providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Gemini.
