The Enterprise Complexity
Enterprise Complexity
NAVEX is built for large organizations with dedicated compliance teams, enterprise budgets ($75K+ annually), and multi-year implementation timelines. For AI governance, this level of complexity isn't necessary.
Cost-Effective Focus
Most organizations don't need NAVEX's full capabilities just to govern AI usage. PolicyGuard starts at $2,400/year with purpose-built AI features.
Quick Deployment
NAVEX requires months of implementation. PolicyGuard deploys in days with a browser extension and ready-to-use policy templates.
Different Problems
NAVEX solves enterprise-wide compliance challenges. PolicyGuard solves the specific problem of proving employees follow AI policies.
