CrashMire or an AI governance tool: which one to choose?
AI governance platforms, such as Tenable AI Exposure, find the AI tools and agents used in the company, their access and configuration, and help set rules. They do not put an agent to the test to see what it decides when someone tries to trap it.
| an AI governance tool | CrashMire | |
|---|---|---|
| What is tested | Where AI is used, by whom, with which data and access; risky configurations and breaches of internal rules. | Your agent's behaviour as it is (prompt, tools, rules) when its target is out of reach or someone tries to trick it: does it cross a line? |
| How it works | A platform connected to your information system (cloud, SaaS, workstations) that discovers and monitors continuously. | A service: you describe the agent, we replay it on several models and several runs. No access to your systems, nothing to install. |
| Who it is for | CISOs and security teams in large organisations managing many tools and uses. | Executives, risk and compliance, CISOs, business teams deploying an agent; from SMBs to large organisations. |
| What you get | An inventory, alerts and dashboards; checking how each agent behaves is still to be done. | A report for management: flaws with how they happened, tested fixes (before / after), mapping to the AI Act and OWASP, a re-test included. |
| Price | Annual licence, on quote, usually for large organisations. | Public prices: online from €490 excl. VAT for an SMB, €4,900 to €25,000 for a large organisation, continuous monitoring from €36,000 a year. |

Choose an AI governance tool if…
- you do not know yet which AI tools and agents are used in the company
- you must enforce usage rules across hundreds of employees
- you already run an exposure management platform to extend
Choose CrashMire if…
- you know which agent you deploy and want to know if it holds under attack
- you want concrete evidence (leaks, trapped orders, promises) and tested fixes
- you want a result within days, without plugging anything into your systems
And both together?
Yes: governance tells you where your agents are and how they are configured; the crash test tells you what each one does when pushed to fail. The inventory shows which agents to crash-test first.
