HAIEC vs Credo AI
Verifiable compliance evidence vs governance policy management.
Credo AI helps you build governance processes. HAIEC proves those processes are working — with tamper-evident, cryptographically signed evidence that regulators can independently verify.
Choose HAIEC if you need:
- Tamper-evident compliance evidence for regulators
- Continuous monitoring with regression detection
- Cross-framework remediation (fix once, resolve everywhere)
- Independent evidence verification
- Deterministic, non-AI compliance engines
- Transparent pricing without enterprise sales process
Choose Credo AI if you need:
- Multi-stakeholder governance workflows
- AI model registry and model cards
- Governance policy templates and customization
- Cross-functional team collaboration
- Enterprise advisory and consulting
- Building a governance program from scratch
Governance vs Evidence
Both matter. But when a regulator investigates, they ask for evidence — not a description of your governance process.
Evidence vs Governance
Credo AI helps you build governance processes — policies, workflows, model cards, stakeholder approvals. HAIEC produces the evidence that proves those processes are working. Think of it this way: Credo AI helps you write the policy. HAIEC proves you followed it.
Cryptographic Proof vs Trust
HAIEC evidence bundles are cryptographically signed (HMAC-SHA256), anchored in Merkle trees, and independently verifiable. When a regulator asks for proof, you hand them a bundle they can verify without trusting you or HAIEC. Credo AI governance reports require trust in the platform.
Regression Detection vs Policy Tracking
Compliance Twin detects when your compliance posture degrades — automatically. It identifies which rules regressed, performs root cause analysis, and maps remediation across frameworks. Credo AI tracks whether governance policies are being followed but does not detect technical compliance drift.
Cross-Framework Remediation
HAIEC maps 67 remediation entries across 9 frameworks through 13 normalized control categories. Fix a gap in NYC LL144, and HAIEC shows you which SOC 2, EU AI Act, and HIPAA controls are also resolved. Credo AI provides multi-framework templates but does not automate cross-framework resolution.

HAIEC is not just a different product. It is a different approach to compliance — backed by patent-pending technology that no other platform offers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HAIEC a good Credo AI alternative?
HAIEC is an excellent alternative if your priority is verifiable compliance evidence rather than governance workflow management. HAIEC is stronger for continuous monitoring, cross-framework remediation, and tamper-evident evidence. Credo AI is stronger for multi-stakeholder governance workflows, model documentation, and AI registry management. Many organizations benefit from both.
What does HAIEC do that Credo AI does not?
HAIEC provides: (1) tamper-evident cryptographically signed evidence bundles, (2) continuous compliance monitoring with regression detection, (3) automated root cause analysis for compliance drift, (4) cross-framework remediation mapping (fix once, resolve across 9 frameworks), and (5) independent verification — anyone can verify evidence at haiec.com/verify. These are patent-pending capabilities.
What does Credo AI do that HAIEC does not?
Credo AI provides: (1) multi-stakeholder governance workflows with approval chains, (2) AI model registry with model cards, (3) governance policy templates and customization, (4) cross-functional team collaboration features, and (5) enterprise advisory services. Credo AI is designed for organizations building governance programs from scratch.
Can I use HAIEC and Credo AI together?
Yes. Credo AI manages your governance processes (policies, workflows, approvals). HAIEC produces the evidence that proves those processes are working (signed bundles, compliance snapshots, regression reports). Together they provide governance + verification.
Which is better for regulatory enforcement?
HAIEC. When a regulator investigates, they want evidence — not a description of your governance process. HAIEC produces tamper-evident evidence bundles with specific regulatory clause references that a regulator can independently verify. Credo AI helps you build the governance program, but HAIEC proves it is working.
Does Credo AI have patent-pending technology?
Credo AI has not published patent applications for their core technology. HAIEC has 5 patent-pending innovations covering the compliance twin architecture, cross-framework remediation mapping, modular rule engine composition, automated root cause analysis, and cryptographic evidence fingerprinting.
