Intutic vs Credo AI
Last reviewed: 2026-10-10
Intutic enforces policy where agents act: a pre-execution gate decides each tool call in 36 of the 43 supported harnesses, backed by a policy proxy, an MCP governance proxy, egress and sandbox containment, and a signed audit trail. Credo AI is an AI governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform: an inventory of AI systems, risk assessments, and policy packs mapped to regulations. In July 2026 it added Agent Governor, a Research Preview that hooks Claude Code sessions and resolves each action to allow, block, escalate or advise. The preview is open to design partners with no production SLA; Codex, Cursor and Microsoft Copilot are listed as coming soon. The two meet at the tool call, from opposite directions.
Comparison
| Intutic | Credo AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Runtime enforcement and audit for AI agents | Governance system of record for AI systems |
| Runtime enforcement | Production: native hook gates in 18 of the 43 harnesses, in-process SDK gates in 17 agent frameworks, request and response proxy, MCP governance proxy, egress firewall, sandboxed execution | Agent Governor, Research Preview for design partners with no production SLA, Claude Code only (Codex, Cursor and Microsoft Copilot listed as coming soon); guardrails for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini deployments. Enforcement through CI/CD, CASB and API gateways is planned |
| Decisions at the tool call | Allow, warn, require approval (the call is refused and held for review; with a control plane, once a reviewer approves it the identical retry passes if the workspace has opted in, and with none it stays refused), block, shadow; on model traffic the proxy also redacts and re-asks | Allow, block, escalate, advise |
| Where policy lives | Files in your repository (.intutic/sops/*.md), reviewed in git; policy documents in Notion, Confluence, GitHub or Google Docs, or an uploaded file, can be turned into enforced controls with Policy Guardrails | Authored in the Credo AI platform. Agent Governor applies a curated policy library at a permissive, balanced or strict posture, compiled into code; custom and uploaded policies are listed as coming soon |
| Regulatory mapping | SOC 2 evidence pack, OWASP LLM and Agentic posture mapping, partial control mapping to the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF and MITRE ATLAS exported as Markdown, CSV, PDF or JSON, and an Article 14 human-oversight export; the evidence pack and the oversight export are signed when a signing key is configured | Policy packs for the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and SOC 2 |
| Inventory and risk | Agent registry with posture scoring and an agent graph, for the agents Intutic governs | AI registry with auto-discovery, shadow AI discovery and MCP server governance; risk assessments, Agent Cards and audit-ready reports; automated red teaming and drift detection |
| Continuous evidence | Eleven hourly compliance probes against live workspace state | Trace ingestion with continuous evaluation, escalation to a person and real-time compliance monitoring, alongside assessment and reporting workflows |
| Audit trail | Signed Merkle roots with inclusion proofs, hash-chained and mirrored to your own bucket | Governance records and reports |
| Source | Open core (MIT) | Closed |
Where Credo AI is stronger
- Regulatory coverage. Ready-made policy packs for the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001. Intutic maps its own evidence to those frameworks, mostly as partial coverage, and leaves the organizational controls (risk assessments, impact assessments, AI policy) to your GRC process.
- Breadth of the inventory. Credo AI governs every AI system in the organization, including models and applications that are not agents, with risk assessments and documentation built for compliance teams.
- Risk testing. Automated red teaming and drift detection. Intutic does not red-team.
When to choose Intutic
- You need tool calls decided before they run, across the coding agents and frameworks your teams use today.
- You want policy in git, enforced by the same code path that reads it.
- You need approval holds, egress control and sandboxing, not only allow and block.
When to choose Credo AI
- Your priority is a governance system of record for every AI system, with risk assessments and regulatory reporting.
- You report against the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF or ISO 42001 and want packaged policy content for them.
- You run Claude Code only and want to trial enforcement, as a design partner, inside the GRC platform you already use.
Use them together
Credo AI can hold the governance policy and the regulatory record, while Intutic enforces the matching controls at the tool call. There is no direct connector between them today: Intutic's enforcement records reach other systems through its SIEM export destinations and signed webhooks.
