From AI Governance to AI Evidence

Your AI models make underwriting decisions — but can you name the exact data behind any one of them, on request?

 

NYDFS Circular Letter No. 7 expects insurers to prove it: which data, from which source, through which model, approved by whom. This whitepaper breaks down what the Circular actually requires, why most data estates can’t answer fast enough, and the five questions your organization needs to be able to answer in hours, not weeks.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Alex Solutions is an AI-native metadata management, data catalog, and data governance platform for large enterprises with complex data estates. It builds a verified context layer over your data, lineage, glossary alignment, AI provenance, so every dataset and model comes with proof of where it came from and whether it can be trusted.

Yes. Alex traces lineage from the originating source system through to the dashboard a business leader is looking at, using a graph-native architecture that follows multi-hop dependencies. When an upstream schema breaks, downstream dashboards can be automatically flagged as untrusted.

Alex connects natively across cloud and on-prem databases, ETL pipelines, BI tools, and lineage frameworks like OpenLineage, alongside SAP-centric landscapes common among its enterprise customers. Connectivity is built into the platform, not handled as one-off integration projects.

Yes. Policy-aware agents monitor live data flows and flag violations as they happen, while Trust and Readiness scores give a live read on an asset’s quality and policy alignment.

Yes. Its graph-native metadata fabric models relationships flexibly instead of forcing a rigid schema, and autonomous stewardship agents already handle classification for most assets in production.

Alex uses consolidated, platform-wide licensing rather than the fragmented per-module pricing common in this category. Exact packaging and tiers sit with Sales, so treat this as directional.

Alex is built to connect across the on-prem, cloud, and hybrid systems most large enterprises already run.

OpenMetaHub pushes governance rules out to the partner platforms you already run. When a playbook triggers, like tagging a sensitive column, it delegates the action, such as data masking, directly to that platform’s native API.

Alex AI Guru is Alex’s applied-AI layer. Confirmed capabilities include autonomous classification, anomaly detection tied to the lineage graph, and code-level analysis that reverse-engineers pipeline logic to keep lineage accurate as things change.
