Mountain View, California May 7, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Uno Launches AI Nerve Center, an AI Governance Module Covering All Eight Gartner AI Governance Platform Pillars
Built inside Uno's existing GRC fabric, AI Nerve Center connects AI risk to ERM, AI vendors to TPRM, and AI-driven disruptions to BCM. The module ships pre-loaded for the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and AI CAIQ.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (May 6, 2026) - Uno, the AI-native governance, risk, and compliance platform, today announced the general availability of AI Nerve Center. The new module gives enterprises end-to-end governance over every AI use case, model, agent, and embedded-AI service in their organization. AI Nerve Center is the first AI Governance Platform to cover all eight pillars defined by Gartner (Inventory, Risk and Regulations, Runtime Policy, Data Mapping, Evidence, Interoperability, Workflows, and Audit Trails) natively inside an existing enterprise risk fabric, rather than as a standalone tool that must be reconciled with the rest of the risk program.
AI Nerve Center is available today to all Uno customers and prospects.
Why it matters
The average enterprise now operates hundreds of AI use cases across in-house models, generative AI copilots, autonomous agents, and embedded-AI features inside SaaS tools. Most are not formally inventoried. At the same time, regulators have moved fast: the EU AI Act's high-risk system obligations are in force, ISO 42001 certification demand is accelerating, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework has become the de facto reference for U.S. enterprise AI programs.
The result is a governance gap that point tools cannot close on their own. AI risks need to roll up to enterprise risk registers. AI vendors need to flow through third-party risk management. AI-driven disruption scenarios need to be tested in business continuity plans. When AI governance lives in its own platform, those connections break.
"A year ago a customer asked me where AI risk should sit in their risk register, and we didn't have a great answer. Nobody did. Today we do. AI Nerve Center is the first AI Governance Platform that doesn't live in a silo. It uses the same controls library, the same evidence chain, and the same audit trail as the rest of your risk program. Govern your AI where you already govern everything else."
Shashank Tiwari, CEO and Co-founder, Uno
"AI Nerve Center is not an AI feature added to a GRC tool, and it is not a standalone product trying to reinvent the rest of the risk stack. It is built natively on the same AI fabric that already powers Uno's GRC, ERM, TPRM, and BCM modules. That is what makes the integration story real instead of marketing. The same controls, the same evidence, and the same audit trail extend to cover every model, agent, and embedded-AI service in the enterprise."
Murugesan (Muru) Guruswamy, CTO and Co-founder, UnoWhat AI Nerve Center does
AI Nerve Center delivers complete coverage of the eight pillars Gartner defines as required for an AI Governance Platform:
- AI Inventory and Catalog. Continuous discovery of every AI asset in the organization, including models in production, GenAI copilots, agents, MCP-connected tools, and embedded-AI features inside third-party SaaS.
- Risk Management and Regulations. Pre-built control libraries and automated control mapping for the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, AI CAIQ, and emerging frameworks, with horizon scanning for new regulations.
- Runtime Policy Enforcement. Policy-as-code for AI. Acceptable-use policies, data-handling rules, and approval workflows are enforced at runtime, not stored as PDFs.
- Data Usage Mapping. Lineage of training data, validation sets, and inference inputs, mapped to data classification and privacy obligations.
- Evidence Collection. Automated, continuous collection of model documentation, validation reports, post-market monitoring data, and incident records.
- Interoperability. Native connectors to model registries, MLOps and LLMOps platforms, AI observability and AI security tools, data catalogs, and identity providers.
- Workflows. Approval, review, and incident-response workflows for AI use cases, fully customizable, available out of the box.
- Audit Trails. Immutable, regulator-ready audit logs that reconstruct who approved what, on what evidence, and when.
Because AI Nerve Center is built on the same fabric as Uno's GRC, ERM, TPRM, and BCM modules, AI risks aggregate into the enterprise risk register, AI vendors are managed alongside every other third party, and AI-driven disruption scenarios live in the same business continuity plans as the rest of the organization's continuity program.
Three ways to deploy
AI Nerve Center is designed to fit into the way an enterprise already operates. Customers can deploy it on Uno end-to-end alongside the GRC, ERM, TPRM, and BCM modules, plug it into an existing enterprise GRC stack (with native integrations to Archer, ServiceNow, and other major GRC platforms), or run it as a standalone AI Governance Platform if AI risk is the only problem they are solving today.
Built for the regulations that matter today
AI Nerve Center ships pre-loaded with control libraries, evidence templates, and reporting packages for:
- EU AI Act, including high-risk system obligations, post-market monitoring, and Article 6 documentation.
- ISO/IEC 42001, with full AI management system (AIMS) coverage, control mappings, and audit-readiness packs.
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework, with the Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions implemented end-to-end.
- AI CAIQ, the Cloud Security Alliance's AI Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire, with auto-fill for shared controls.
- Sector overlays for HIPAA, GLBA, FFIEC SR 11-7 (for financial services model risk management), and emerging U.S. state AI laws.
What customers and partners are saying
AI Nerve Center was shaped over the past two years by feedback from customers, partners, industry experts, and advisors working on AI governance programs across financial services, healthcare, and the public sector.
"Our model risk management program was built for traditional models. When GenAI showed up, we suddenly had a hundred new use cases and no way to track them in the same system. AI Nerve Center makes it possible to bring all of that into our existing MRM workflow, without standing up a parallel platform."
Head of Model Risk, Top Regional U.S. Bank
"Clinical AI use cases sit at the intersection of HIPAA, the EU AI Act, and our internal ethics frameworks. The pre-built control libraries and the way risks roll up into our existing enterprise risk register means we don't have to choose between AI governance and the rest of our risk program."
Senior Risk Leader, a Health Care CompanyA note on the name
Uno deliberately named the module AI Nerve Center rather than "AI Governance Module" or "AI Compliance Suite." A nerve center is the part of a system that senses signals from across the body, processes them against context, and coordinates a response. The metaphor reflects how Uno expects AI governance to be operated in 2026: one place to sense every AI signal in the enterprise, process it against policy and regulation, and coordinate the right response - whether that is an approval, a block, a redaction, an escalation, or a complete audit log when the regulator asks.
Availability and pricing
AI Nerve Center is generally available today as an add-on module for new and existing Uno customers. Pricing scales by AI inventory size and number of governed use cases. Qualified enterprise prospects can request a 30-day proof-of-value engagement that includes a full inventory pass and a readiness assessment scored against the eight Gartner pillars.
Live walkthrough on Wednesday, May 21
Uno will host a live, 60-minute tour of AI Nerve Center on Wednesday, May 21, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET. Engineers and the product team at Uno will walk through real workflows for inventorying a new GenAI use case, mapping it to the EU AI Act and ISO 42001, enforcing runtime policy on a live agent, and generating a regulator-ready evidence pack. The session will also include live use cases, customer case studies, and a panel with partners and industry experts on pragmatic approaches to AI governance.
