Announcing VerifyWise 1.5: A Leap Forward in AI Governance

At VerifyWise, we're driven by a fundamental belief: AI governance shouldn't be a bottleneck to innovation - it should be the foundation that makes responsible AI possible at scale. Our mission is to democratize AI governance, making it accessible, transparent, and actionable for organizations of all sizes.

We envision a world where every AI system is built on trust, transparency, and accountability. Where organizations can deploy AI confidently, knowing they have the tools to manage risks, ensure compliance, and maintain ethical standards throughout the AI lifecycle.

Today, we're excited to announce VerifyWise 1.5 - our most significant release yet.

What's New in VerifyWise 1.5

Version 1.5 represents our most significant release yet, featuring a complete UI overhaul, enhanced integration capabilities, and powerful new management features. We've listened to our community and rebuilt the entire user experience to deliver a more intuitive and powerful AI governance platform.

This release brings a fresh, modern interface designed for maximum usability, along with enterprise-grade single sign-on through Microsoft Azure AD (Entra ID). Teams can now stay connected through real-time governance notifications in Slack, navigate effortlessly with our comprehensive new icon system, and manage external integrations securely with our API keys management feature.

Enhanced User Experience

Complete UI Overhaul

Our completely redesigned user interface provides an unparalleled governance experience. VerifyWise 1.5 introduces a fresh, modern design that makes AI governance more intuitive and accessible than ever before.

The new design language offers a clean, intuitive interface that significantly reduces cognitive load, allowing teams to focus on what matters most. Navigation has been streamlined with an improved menu structure that provides faster access to key features, while the responsive layout ensures an optimized experience across all devices and screen sizes.

The new interface represents a complete reimagining of how AI governance software should look and feel, putting user experience at the forefront of every design decision.

Microsoft Azure AD Integration

Enterprise-grade authentication and user management are now seamlessly integrated with VerifyWise through Microsoft Azure AD (Entra ID). This powerful integration delivers both security and convenience, enabling seamless authentication with single sign-on capabilities that eliminate password fatigue. Organizations can implement advanced security policies through conditional access, while automatic user provisioning synchronizes with your Active Directory to streamline onboarding. Granular permissions are managed through Azure AD groups for role-based access control, and complete logging of authentication events provides a comprehensive audit trail.

This integration makes deployment faster and more secure, while giving IT teams the centralized control they need and users the seamless experience they expect.

Slack Integration

Our Slack integration keeps your entire team aligned on AI governance activities without leaving their workflow. The system provides immediate notifications when new risks are identified, tracks changes in compliance status across your AI portfolio, and enables teams to share governance insights directly in their Slack channels. You can configure alerts based on your specific needs and respond to governance tasks with actionable messages without ever leaving Slack.

Powerful New Features

New Icon System

We've developed a comprehensive visual language that enhances understanding throughout the platform. The new icon system features a cohesive design that maintains consistency across the entire platform, with intuitive symbols that provide clear visual representations of complex governance concepts. We've integrated Lucide icons, a beautiful and consistent icon library, to enhance the user experience throughout VerifyWise.

API Keys Management

Our new API Keys Management feature provides secure credential management for powerful integrations with external tools and services. All API keys are stored in one centralized, secure location, with role-based access controls that determine who can view and manage credentials. The system monitors API key usage to detect anomalies, supports automated credential rotation for enhanced security, and maintains complete audit logging with a full history of key creation, modification, and usage.

Enhanced Model Inventory

Better visibility into your AI ecosystem with our redesigned Model Inventory.

Improved Model Inventory

The new Model Inventory dashboard provides comprehensive insights into your AI models at a glance

The redesigned Model Inventory brings powerful new capabilities to manage your AI ecosystem. Advanced filtering allows you to sort models by risk level, compliance status, and custom tags, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.

Improved Risk Management

Proactive risk identification and mitigation capabilities that help you stay ahead of potential issues.

Improved Risk Management

The enhanced Risk Management module offers proactive risk identification and mitigation workflows

Our enhanced Risk Management module introduces automated assessment with customizable risk scoring parameters, helping you quickly identify and prioritize concerns. Visual risk heatmaps provide an intuitive representation of risk distribution across your AI portfolio. The system tracks remediation efforts from start to finish with comprehensive mitigation tracking, and offers direct compliance mapping to regulatory requirements so you always know where you stand.
