Confide unveils agentic governance platform to replace fragmented GRC point solutions
New York, Oct. 6, 2026—Confide has unveiled its holistic agentic governance platform, bringing governance, risk and compliance (GRC) into one simple but powerful system and ending businesses' reliance on a patchwork of disconnected point solutions. The platform gives professionals a shared environment in which to set the standard for how GRC should run and put it into practice with AI agents, all whilst retaining full human oversight. Crucially, it is designed to govern not only people, but also the AI agents that increasingly work alongside them.
Confide was founded by Pav Gill, one of the most prolific whistleblowers in the history of financial services. It was built from his lived experience of the Wirecard scandal and his prior career as a general counsel working with legacy GRC software. Confide has been actively setting the standard for improved corporate governance since 2024, and this latest product iteration develops its capabilities further.
Pav Gill, Founder and CEO of Confide, said: “Businesses have spent years paying extortionate amounts for software that still leaves their people piecing together the events of internal incidents. When a serious concern arises, nobody should have to search across multiple systems to work out the individuals involved and how they handled the situation. Legacy GRC tools were never built for a world where billions of AI agents will help run companies, with humans in the loop. We built Confide to allow professionals to defensibly manage and audit trail critical issues from start to finish, whether those issues involve people, AI agents or both.”
Regulatory pressure is only increasing. Around 61,000 new regulations are introduced each year, and companies are increasingly expected to prove compliance continuously rather than through periodic reviews. Buying a separate point solution for every new regulation is no longer viable, and regulators are holding more companies to account and demanding answers on how cases were managed, making defensibility essential. Organisations need to show who made each decision and the information driving these decisions.
Lax corporate governance and fragmented data have long been issues within scaling enterprises and large corporations, with news reports of whistleblowing allegations, HR cases and occupational fraud on the rise. In August, KPMG made headlines over its handling of a whistleblower who alleged that confidential client information had been improperly shared within the firm's Australian audit division to help win audit contracts from rival companies. Cases like this show the value of a single, defensible record that enables earlier detection and a clear account of how concerns were handled.
Confide brings case management, policy, risk and audit into one platform, with workflows for third-party risk, incident response, health and safety, law enforcement requests and AI governance. Policies, risks, cases, people, vendors and decisions connect in a single live governance record. When an issue arises, teams can see what happened, who or what was involved, what informed each decision and what action followed, without reconstructing the story across systems. The same model governs AI agents: businesses set which tasks agents can perform, where human approval is required and when people can step in. Agents handle routine administrative work while humans keep control of consequential decisions. Every action, by a person or an agent, is recorded in a defensible audit trail.
The platform is model-agnostic, with AI integrations designed to work with different models and existing ways of working. Teams can adopt its capabilities within the processes they already use, instead of overhauling their SOPs to adapt to a new tool.
Confide serves businesses across industries, with end users in over 150 countries. Its credentials include ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 attestations. The company is backed by more than 50 global GRC leaders, including managing partners at international law firms, Internal Audit Beacon Award recipients, chief compliance officers of Fortune 100, and ISACA board members. With this launch, Confide intends to set the standard for how organisations manage critical GRC workflows in the agentic-heavy years ahead.
