What Warden AI sells
“Safeguarding AI Transformation in HR.” Warden runs independent, ongoing bias audits of AI used in hiring and HR, and keeps audit records that buyers and lawyers can use as evidence. Most buyers are HR tech vendors that publish results on a Warden Assured dashboard, for example Greenhouse for Talent Matching, Findem and PageUp. It maps results to NYC Local Law 144, the EU AI Act, Illinois HB 3773 and Colorado SB 26-189. It does not sell hiring software itself. [1][2][4][5]
Its AI. An AI auditing and assurance platform with Monitor (ongoing auditing), Comply (regulatory mapping), Validate (tests on consented, proprietary datasets) and Defend (legal-grade evidence), plus the Warden Assured standard and a timestamped Audit Trail. In September 2026 it added Warden Watch, a free public tracker of employment AI regulation and litigation. [2]
The AI capabilities it sells today, as the map reads its site: bias audit and governance [2].
