Complete traceability powers confident AI development

Governance is embedded in the model lifecycle so teams maintain visibility, control, and compliance without slowing experimentation.

Insight into data feeding AI models

Maintain visibility into all data entering the model lifecycle.

Guardrails control what data usage

Apply automated rules that prevent models from using unsafe or unintended data.

Standardize data access

Centralized policies for sensitivity, permissions, and usage.

AI systems remain governed and transparent

Full traceability and real time checks expose hidden AI activity and ensure every model uses only trusted and compliant data.

Production AI lineage mapping

Trace every feature back to the tables, transforms, and logic that created it.

Data access governance

Track who accessed which data for model development to support internal and regulatory controls.

AI drift detection

Detect upstream shifts before they degrade AI accuracy or reliability.

AI compliance and explainability

Generate audit ready documentation with complete feature provenance and interpretation details.

Where AI governance secures data and accelerates trust

AI governance gives enterprises visibility, control, and guardrails so every AI project uses the right data, stays within its domain, and avoids privacy, safety, and reliability risks.

Visibility into all production AI activity

Get a complete view of which agents and models exist, what data they access, and how they use it so nothing runs out of sight or outside its intended domain.

Guardrails for safe data access

Enforce boundaries so every AI system only reaches approved datasets. Prevent accidental exfiltration, cross-domain access, and unsafe connections that put sensitive data at risk.

Monitoring beyond approvals

Replace manual request-and-approve workflows with real-time oversight that verifies AI systems follow the data use they were approved for and alerts you when behavior drifts.

Protect against AI-driven data leakage

Detect and prevent flows that could expose confidential records, violate privacy commitments, or send sensitive attributes into models or agents that should never receive them.

“Foundational gave us instant clarity on our data. With column-level lineage, we stopped wasting hours chasing data lineage and started fixing issues before they became problems.”
Eyal El-Bahar, VP of BI and Analytics
"A data change can impact things your team may be unaware of, leading folks to draw potentially flawed conclusions about growth initiatives. We needed a tool to give us end-to-end visibility into every modification.”
Iñigo Hernandez, Engineering Manager
“With Foundational, our team has a secure automated code review and validation process that assures data quality. That’s priceless.”
Omer Biber, Head of Business Intelligence
“Foundational has been instrumental in helping us minimize redundancy and improve data visibility, enabling faster migrations and smoother collaboration across teams.”
Qun Wei, VP Data Analytics
“Foundational helps our teams release faster and with confidence. We see issues before they happen.”
Analytics Engineering Lead

Build trustworthy production AI from day one

Establish the visibility and controls needed to keep AI reliable, compliant, and aligned with business intent.

We’re creating something new

Foundational is a new way of building and managing data:
We make it easy for everyone in the organization to understand, communicate, and create code for data.

What does AI governance cover beyond model performance?

AI governance ensures that every feature, transformation, and training input is traceable, permissioned, and compliant. It connects feature lineage, data access oversight, protected attribute detection, and regulatory reporting into one unified workflow.

How does the system trace features back to source data?

The engine parses ML pipelines and feature engineering logic to build a complete lineage map. Every feature can be traced to its raw source tables, intermediate transformations, notebooks, and training steps. This supports debugging, compliance, and model explainability.

Can the platform detect bias or protected attributes?

Yes. It identifies protected fields and proxy attributes during feature extraction. This supports fairness assessments, regulatory reviews, and responsible AI practices.

 Does AI governance require access to raw data?

No. The system analyzes metadata, code, configurations, and access patterns. It does not scan or store raw datasets, which simplifies security reviews and reduces compliance complexity.
