Frequently asked questions
Should I use Drata or Zilonex Govern for AI compliance?
Use Drata if you already run all your general compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001) through Drata and want AI in the same tool. Use Zilonex Govern if AI is your primary product and you need ISO 42001, EU AI Act classification, and a model registry that plugs into your CI/CD.
Does Zilonex Govern do SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
No. Zilonex Govern is focused on AI-specific frameworks (ISO 42001, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF). For SOC 2 / ISO 27001, keep using Drata, Vanta, or a similar general GRC.
