Transcend is the next-generation privacy and AI governance platform that transforms how enterprises understand and manage personal data, automate privacy tasks, assess risks, and oversee AI systems.

Transcend Rails is the agent policy-as-code platform that decides and enforces, in real time, what every agent is allowed to do, so enterprises can take agents out of the pilot sandbox and scale them. You write the rules once, in plain language, and every agent on any stack runs inside them, with an accountable owner, a full audit trail and a kill switch.


Transcend is the only agent and data control platform that answers "Can my agent do this for this purpose, right now" and “Can I use this data?" in runtime, before any action is taken or data is used. With policy-as-code, Transcend writes business policy, regulatory context, and customer permissions directly into the enterprise systems and AI agents that process customer data. Transcend Rails agent policy-as code controls what agents spend, browse, and deploy to automate the enterprise. Fortune 500 companies use Transcend to accelerate their adoption of AI, saving money, driving efficiency, and unblocking personalization initiatives. Founded in 2017 by Ben Brook (CEO) and Mike Farrell (CTO), Transcend is headquartered in San Francisco. The company has been recognized as One to Watch in Snowflake's Modern Marketing Tech Stack report, a Leader in IDC's MarketScape for Worldwide Data Privacy Compliance Software, and twice named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™.
