Airia: One Platform to Secure, Orchestrate, and Govern Enterprise AI

Airia is an enterprise AI platform founded in 2024 by AirWatch co-founder John Marshall and CEO Kevin Kiley, headquartered in Atlanta with bases in London, Singapore, Dubai, Melbourne, and Bangalore. Its pitch is unification: rather than stitching together separate tools for AI security, agent building, and compliance, Airia provides complete visibility, real-time enforcement, and continuous governance across every model, agent, and tool an organization runs.

The platform starts with discovery — surfacing shadow AI and unapproved tools already in use — then layers on runtime security that stops unauthorized agent actions before execution, governance automation mapped to major regulatory frameworks, and model-agnostic orchestration so teams can build and operate agents across Claude, GPT, and other models. It also supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and integrates with enterprise systems such as Salesforce, Slack, AWS, and Snowflake.

Key Features

• AI discovery that identifies shadow AI and unapproved tools across the organization
• Runtime enforcement and AI firewall that stops unauthorized agent actions before they execute
• Governance automation mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, HIPAA, ISO 42001, and SOC 2
• Model-agnostic orchestration and agent building across Claude, GPT, and other models, with MCP support
• Integrations with Salesforce, Slack, AWS, Snowflake, and other enterprise systems
• Free tier with 10 agents and 100 executions per month; Individual and Team plans at $50 and $250 per month, plus custom Enterprise

Ideal Use Case

Airia fits security and platform teams at organizations adopting AI faster than governance can keep up: a CISO who needs an inventory of every model and agent employees touch, an AI platform team that wants one place to build, deploy, and monitor agents with role-based permissions, or a compliance office preparing for the EU AI Act. The self-serve free tier makes it practical to evaluate before committing to an enterprise rollout.

How Airia differentiates

The founding team has done enterprise infrastructure before: John Marshall co-founded AirWatch, acquired by VMware for $1.54 billion, and later served as co-chairman of OneTrust. In September 2025 he backed Airia with $100 million of funding, and within roughly 12 months of emerging from stealth the company reported 300+ enterprise customers — including ArcelorMittal, Mars, BuzzFeed, and KOA — and 150 employees across five continents.

FAQ

Is there a free plan? Yes. The Free tier costs $0 with no credit card, including one user, 100 executions per month, up to 10 agents, and a $10 signup credit for evaluation.

Which AI models does Airia support? The architecture is model-agnostic, supporting Claude, GPT, and other frameworks, and it governs both homegrown and third-party agents.

What compliance frameworks does it cover? Governance automation maps to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, HIPAA, ISO 42001, and SOC 2.

Who is behind Airia? John Marshall (AirWatch co-founder and former OneTrust co-chairman) is chairman and the company's $100M backer; Kevin Kiley is CEO.

tl;dr

Airia bundles the security, orchestration, and governance layers of enterprise AI into one platform: discover shadow AI, enforce guardrails at runtime, and stay mapped to the EU AI Act and NIST frameworks. Free tier to start, $100M in backing, and 300+ enterprise customers in its first year.
