AvePoint Unveils the Trust Platform to Govern, Secure, and Optimize AI

AvePoint, the AI Trust Company, is introducing the AvePoint Trust Platform, empowering organizations to govern, secure, and optimize AI.

According to AvePoint, the platform makes data AI-ready, governs every agent across its lifecycle, and keeps the business resilient when AI gets it wrong—independent of any single cloud, model, or AI provider.

The launch includes new AI Governance, Security, and Cost Optimization capabilities, broadening observability to Anthropic Claude, Windows, and server-hosted agents, as well as the tools, MCP servers, and the models agents are accessing.

AI Trust works alongside the security and identity tools enterprises already run to stop intruders. AI Trust governs what trusted people and agents can reach and do and enables rapid recovery when something goes wrong.

“Every organization now has access to the same AI capabilities. What truly sets them apart is how far that AI can safely reach, what permissions it actually has, and whether there’s a way to reverse course when it makes a wrong call. That’s the real test of AI Trust, and it’s the foundation for this new agent-driven era,” said Dr. Tianyi Jiang (TJ), CEO and co-founder, AvePoint. “For 25 years, we’ve been understanding how enterprise data behaves in the real world, not just in theory. The AvePoint Trust Platform brings that understanding to every agent, model, and partner that touches that data. It operates independently across vendors and technologies, because in today’s world, risk doesn’t stop at the vendor’s edge.”

The AvePoint Trust Platform takes enterprises from unmanaged AI to measurable trust across every agent, application, model and AI vendor, and is built on four disciplines: Observe, Protect, Govern, and Optimize.

• Observe: See what AI can reach. The platform discovers sanctioned and shadow agents, including those built by citizen developers, and shows which content is overshared, stale or unlabeled before an agent finds it.
• Protect: Keep the business recoverable. Backup and recovery for Microsoft 365, Power Platform, SaaS applications such as ServiceNow, and cloud infrastructure across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud extends to agents themselves. A Copilot Studio agent, including its configuration, logic, prompts, topics, and flows, can be restored to a known-good state.

• Govern: Govern every agent across its lifecycle. Each agent is assigned an owner, policy, and data sensitivity context, with business-owner attestation and recertification delivered in Slack, Teams and email, from discovery to retirement.
• Optimize: Turn data and AI consumption into value. The platform eliminates unnecessary content, improves prompt effectiveness and brings visibility to token consumption and budgeting so organizations can focus AI resources on the information and initiatives that matter most.

The AvePoint Trust Platform can detect and prevent risk before it happens, roll back what an agent changed, and issue signed charters that define what each agent may do.

The four disciplines are built on AvePoint's Governance Graph, which joins global regulatory intelligence, such as the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, with each organization's business context: its owners, policies, information barriers and the purpose of every workspace and agent.

The Graph is designed to learn how an organization makes decisions, from owner attestations to the conversations where decisions happen, so each ruling applies to every operation that follows.

New AI Governance and Security capabilities give security, IT, and compliance teams a single system of record for every AI asset in the enterprise, from discovery through policy enforcement, to audit-ready evidence. These include:

• AI estate visibility and governance
• Agent monitoring
• Continuous data security and classification

The AvePoint Trust Platform also now supports Anthropic models and MCP servers and discovers and inventories agents built with Anthropic's Claude and connected MCP servers, alongside agents in Microsoft Copilot Studio and Foundry, Google Vertex AI, and Salesforce Agentforce.
