Saidot

Saidot is an AI governance and transparency platform from Finland that helps organizations document, communicate, and demonstrate the trustworthiness of their AI systems. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Saidot takes a transparency-first approach to AI governance, enabling organizations to create comprehensive AI system descriptions and transparency reports that satisfy both regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations for responsible AI use. The platform's core capability is its AI Registry, which provides a structured framework for documenting AI systems including their purpose, data sources, methodology, performance characteristics, limitations, and risk assessments. Saidot's documentation approach is designed to be accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, bridging the communication gap that often exists between AI development teams and business, compliance, and external stakeholders. The platform generates public-facing transparency reports that organizations can share with customers, regulators, and other stakeholders to demonstrate their commitment to responsible AI. Saidot supports compliance with European regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act, which requires detailed documentation and transparency measures for AI systems, particularly those classified as high-risk. The platform's documentation templates are structured to capture the information required by these frameworks, reducing the effort needed to demonstrate compliance. Saidot also supports the OECD AI Principles and other international standards, providing flexibility for organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions. The platform is delivered as a cloud-based SaaS solution with an intuitive interface designed for ease of use. Saidot emphasizes simplicity and accessibility, making it possible for organizations without dedicated AI governance teams to begin documenting and governing their AI systems. The company serves SMBs and mid-market organizations across the Nordic countries and broader European market. As a smaller platform primarily focused on the European market, Saidot has more limited enterprise features and global presence compared to larger competitors. The platform focuses primarily on documentation and transparency rather than providing technical capabilities such as model monitoring, bias testing, or automated validation. Organizations requiring comprehensive technical governance tools will need to supplement Saidot with additional platforms. However, for organizations seeking an accessible starting point for AI governance with a focus on transparency and documentation, Saidot offers a well-designed and easy-to-use solution that aligns closely with European regulatory expectations.
