Zania is an agentic AI company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California. It builds autonomous AI agents that execute enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) work - controls testing, risk assessments and full audits - with provable accuracy delivered in minutes. The company raised $18M in a Series A round backed by NEA, Anthropic and Menlo Ventures.

The Zania Agentic AI Platform for GRC deploys purpose-built agents to carry out complex security and compliance tasks, enabling continuous compliance across SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR. Reported performance figures include accuracy above 94%, a hallucination rate below 0.01%, work 30 times faster than traditional methods and a 90% cost reduction against those methods. Customers include Fortune 500 enterprises and Big Four audit firms.

Technical work spans agentic AI, autonomous agent design, machine-learning accuracy engineering, compliance automation, security and controls testing, risk-assessment automation and audit automation. The team combines GRC domain expertise with AI engineering, and is led by CEO and Founder Shruti Gupta, formerly CISO at Airbnb, Instacart and Brex. The stated aim is to free security leaders from manual compliance work so they can concentrate on strategic priorities.
