Zania
Zania builds autonomous AI agents that execute enterprise GRC work - controls testing, risk assessments and audits - with reported 94%+ accuracy and hallucination rates below 0.01%.
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Zania builds an agentic AI platform for enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Its purpose-built autonomous agents execute controls testing, risk assessments and full audits, work traditionally performed manually by compliance and audit teams. The company reports 94%+ accuracy on agent output, a hallucination rate of less than 0.01%, and completion of tasks 30 times faster than traditional methods at roughly 90% lower cost.
The underlying technical work spans agentic AI systems, autonomous AI agents, and methods for improving LLM accuracy and reducing hallucination in high-stakes settings. The platform supports perpetual compliance across SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR, and is used by Fortune 500 enterprises and Big Four audit firms, including in regulated sectors such as healthcare and payments.
Zania is led by CEO Shruti Gupta, formerly CISO at Airbnb, Instacart and Brex. The company has raised $18m in Series A funding from investors including NEA, Anthropic and Menlo Ventures. Its stated emphasis is on provable accuracy and trustworthiness in AI output, freeing security leaders from manual compliance work to focus on strategic priorities.
