Overview
Summary of publicly available information collected from Cranium's site and resources. Key findings: Cranium presents as an enterprise AI governance, security, and compliance platform that unifies AI security, third-party risk, and compliance workflows. There is no public pricing or self-serve plans on the site; the /pricing page returns a 404 and the site directs prospects to request a demo or contact sales (sales engagement expected; has_free_trial: False). Sales/purchase path is demo/contact-sales driven (https://cranium.ai/get-a-demo/ and https://cranium.ai/company/contact/), indicating enterprise, quote-based pricing. Company/background: spun out of KPMG Studio and announced in 2023; CEO & Co‑Founder listed as Jonathan Dambrot; press materials reference venture funding (Series A mentioned). HQ and contact: address listed as 1200 Morris Tpke, Suite 3005, Short Hills, NJ; public contact email [email protected]. Core products / modules (site copy): Detect AI (automated discovery/inventory of internal and third-party AI; builds AI Bills of Materials / AIBOM), CodeSensor (source-code analysis to find models, datasets, libraries), CloudSensor (cloud security monitoring for AI environments and alerts), Arena (scalable AI red-teaming platform across the AI supply chain), Shield / Cranium Shield (automated remediations and guardrails), ComplianceAgent / AI Cards (governance-to-action and stakeholder-facing transparency reports; alignment to standards such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO). Emphasized use cases: AI discovery/inventory, third-party AI risk, AI security testing (red teaming), compliance reporting, remediation automation, and AIBOM generation. Integrations & references called out on the site: threat feeds and standards such as MITRE ATLAS and OWASP; partnership mentions including Microsoft and channel/VAR ecosystem. Resources & press: multiple press releases and resources were present (Detect AI launch, Arena launch, KPMG spin-out, training platform, funding announcements, 2025 AI Risk Report). Site quality notes: some pages returned 404s or were mislinked (pricing page and the “features” page encountered 404s or broken navigation). Pages reviewed (examples): homepage (https://cranium.ai/), platform overview (https://cranium.ai/platform/), Detect AI product page (https://cranium.ai/platform/detect-ai/), Arena product page (https://cranium.ai/platform/cranium-arena/), demo/contact pages (https://cranium.ai/get-a-demo/, https://cranium.ai/company/contact/), team (https://cranium.ai/company/team/), and several press/resource pages including the listed press-release URLs. Recommended next steps: 1) Request a demo / contact sales for pricing and licensing details (expect enterprise quoting). 2) Email [email protected] or use contact form to request estimated price range and ask about licensing model (per-seat, per-asset, subscription, tiered features), onboarding/implementation fees, and SLA/contract terms. 3) For independent company data (funding, employees, valuation) consult third-party sources such as Crunchbase or PitchBook or company filings. 4) For technical validation, request product datasheet or architecture diagram during demo and ask for supported integrations (VCS, cloud providers, SIEMs, MDMs), data handling (on-prem vs SaaS, residency, retention), example AIBOM outputs, and regulatory mapping. 5) If desired, I can draft outreach messaging (demo request / pricing questions) or attempt to find third-party pricing signals or draft outreach to sales (note: outreach/drafting only; no direct outreach was performed). Notes on accuracy and sourcing: all statements reflect material observed on publicly available pages linked in the external links list; no unverified claims or fabricated data are included.
