About Maetra
Maetra provides a governance and compliance platform designed for AI agents, focusing on controlling consequential actions and maintaining up-to-date compliance evidence. The system allows organizations to authorize exact actions before execution, route approvals only when required by policy, and capture every decision and observed effect as reusable evidence. It supports multi-framework classification, mapping AI systems to requirements such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and SOC 2. Maetra integrates with existing AI systems through modules like a shadow AI scanner, policy-driven approval workflows, runtime protection against prompt attacks, and signed evidence logging. The platform is intended for teams managing AI deployments that require regulatory compliance, audit trails, and security controls. It operates by binding decisions to specific action envelopes, policies, and executors, ensuring that changes to requests invalidate prior approvals.

Frequently asked questions about Maetra
What does Maetra do?
Maetra is an AI governance and compliance platform designed to control consequential actions taken by AI agents while maintaining up-to-date compliance evidence. It authorizes exact actions before execution, routes approvals based on policy requirements, and captures every decision and observed effect as reusable evidence.
Who is Maetra suitable for?
Maetra is intended for organizations managing AI deployments that require regulatory compliance, audit trails, and security controls, particularly teams dealing with frameworks such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and SOC 2.
How does Maetra integrate with existing AI systems?
Maetra integrates through modules like a shadow AI scanner, policy-driven approval workflows, runtime protection against prompt attacks, and signed evidence logging. These modules connect AI inventories to execution evidence, compliance requirements, and security checks.
What is exact-action authorization in Maetra?
Exact-action authorization binds a decision to a specific action envelope, policy version, workspace, and intended executor. If the request changes, the old authorization no longer matches, preventing mismatched or unauthorized actions from executing.
Does Maetra support multi-framework compliance classification?
Yes, Maetra supports multi-framework classification, allowing organizations to map AI systems to requirements across frameworks such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, the Colorado AI Act, and SOC 2, reusing evidence across applicable frameworks.
How can I get started with Maetra?
You can start by signing up on the Maetra website, exploring the product modules, and testing an exact-action checkpoint to see how it controls AI agent actions and maintains compliance evidence.
