Maro for every stage of your journey

Maro is a security guardian and semantic DLP that helps organizations discover, govern, and secure AI usage across their workforce. We surface shadow AI usage down to the tool, use case, data and prompt; enforce policies in real time with a light weight browser extension; and give security and compliance teams a unified view of AI exposure risk through our admin portal.

Maro is built for two audiences at once. Security, compliance, and IT leaders get the visibility, policy controls, and audit evidence they need to govern AI usage at scale, especially organizations that are required to protect specific data in their industry and are navigating NIST AI RMF, the Colorado AI Act, or the EU AI Act. GRC practitioners are often the first people at their company tasked with “figure out our AI strategy” without a dedicated team behind them.

Employees get a guardian agent that actually helps them do their jobs with AI safely and productively. Instead of blanket blocks or vague training, Maro meets people where they work in the browser, explains why a policy exists and what's not safe to share, and guides them towards safer alternatives. The goal is a workforce that uses AI confidently and without fear.

Maro operationalizes AI governance across three layers: discovery (knowing the depth of AI usage across your workforce), policy enforcement (translating governance frameworks like NIST AI RMF or internal acceptable-use policies into real-time guardrails), and auditability (giving compliance teams the evidence they need for frameworks like the Colorado AI Act, EU AI Act, and SOC 2). Instead of governance living in a PDF no one reads, Maro makes it enforceable at the point of use.

Shadow AI is often defined narrowly as the AI tools employees use without IT or security approval; like ChatGPT, Claude, and the thousands of AI features baked into everyday SaaS apps. But the tools are only one layer. The bigger governance gap is in how AI is being used: whether the task itself is an approved use case, whether the content being shared is privileged or confidential, and whether the interaction falls within the boundaries of your acceptable use policy.

An employee using a fully sanctioned AI tool can still create serious risk by pasting in client-privileged information, regulated health data, or unreleased financials. Or by relying on AI for decisions your policy says require a human in the loop. Conversely, a quick grammar check in an unsanctioned tool may be entirely low-risk. Shadow AI matters because the risk lives at the intersection of tool, task, and data, and most organizations have very little real time visibility into the combination of all three.

That visibility gap also has direct regulatory consequences. Frameworks like the Colorado AI Act, the EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF classify certain uses of AI (e.g. hiring, lending, healthcare, education, and other consequential decisions) as high-risk AI systems that trigger documentation, risk assessment, and human oversight obligations. Without a clear picture of how employees are engaging with AI, organizations can’t tell whether shadow usage has pulled them into high-risk territory and can’t demonstrate the reasonable care these frameworks require.

Maro discovers shadow AI continuously across all three dimensions, ranks usage by actual risk and in accordance with your policy, and helps you enforce acceptable use in real time, with the audit trail regulators expect.

Yes. The Colorado AI Act takes effect June 30, 2026 and requires deployers of high-risk AI systems to implement risk management programs, document AI usage, and demonstrate reasonable care to avoid algorithmic discrimination. Maro supports CAIA compliance by providing the AI inventory, usage logs, and policy enforcement evidence that map directly to the affirmative defense criteria under NIST AI RMF. Talk to our team for a CAIA readiness review.

Illuminate gives you full visibility into how your team is using AI: what tools, what prompts, what data, and which decisions led to violations. Intervene adds real-time enforcement on top: blocking, coaching, and policy guardrails at the moment of the prompt or browser interaction.

Managed Maro hands operations to our FLARE team. Managed Maro Complete adds a virtual Chief AI Officer, hands-on evaluation of every new AI tool you adopt, and a NIST AI RMF–aligned program documented to meet legal safe harbor criteria. It’s for organizations that need defensibility, not just controls.

A user is any employee with the Maro extension installed on at least one device. We bill on seats purchased, but can rightsize number of seats based on your company's needs.

Illuminate and Intervene: Yes. If you're on a monthly plan, upgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. If you're on an annual plan, your discount carries over to the upgraded tier and we'll adjust the cost so you're only paying the difference for the remainder of your term and your new tier is locked in through your renewal date. Downgrades take effect at the next renewal.

Managed Maro and Managed Maro Complete: Tier changes require a quick conversation with our team so we can scope the transition and update your engagement accordingly. Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.

Annual contracts come with a discount and locked-in pricing. Volume discounts kick in at 250+ users. Reach out to sales for a quote tailored to your organization.

For Illuminate and Intervene, onboarding is self-serve and typically takes a single afternoon: deploy the extension, point Maro at your existing policies (or use ours out of the box), and you’re live. Managed Maro tiers include a dedicated implementation specialist and a structured rollout plan.

Most customers are up and running within a week. The browser extension deploys through your existing MDM or browser management tools (Chrome Enterprise, Intune, Jamf, etc.), and the CISO portal is ready to use as soon as your organization is provisioned. Customers typically spend their first month baselining AI usage before turning on enforcement policies.

Yes. Instead of a traditional free trial, we’ve made it easy to get started with a single license at a low monthly cost. So you can deploy Maro, see it in action within your environment, and decide if it’s the right fit before rolling it out more broadly.
