Veeam Software, the Data and AI Trust Company, has announced new agentic AI capabilities for its Veeam DataAI Command Platform, aimed at helping organizations operationalize governance at the speed and scale of modern AI systems.

The new capabilities introduce three AI agents designed to automate privacy and compliance operations. According to the company, the agents help organizations continuously demonstrate that policies are being enforced across complex data and AI environments through evidence-based governance.

The announcement comes as organizations face growing regulatory pressure from frameworks such as GDPR, the EU AI Act, ePrivacy, DORA, and emerging national and state-level AI regulations. These requirements extend beyond data management to AI models, consent signals, and cross-border data transfers. Veeam noted that fines under some of these regulations can reach up to 7% of global annual revenue.

However, many privacy programs still depend on manual assessments, spreadsheets, and disconnected workflows that are not equipped to manage AI-driven environments operating at machine speed.

“For ten years, privacy professionals have been quietly admitting they cannot fully prove compliance with their own policies,” said Cassandra Maldini, Head of Product Strategy for Privacy and AI Governance at Veeam. “Now they’re being asked to do the same for AI, at a pace no manual program can keep up with. Compliance is no longer a point-in-time exercise. It has to be continuous, evidence-based, and built directly into how organizations operate.”

The company said that when individuals make privacy choices, such as opting out of tracking technologies or restricting the use of their data for AI models, those preferences should be respected across all connected systems. To address this challenge, the newly introduced Consent Agent provides compliance detection and auto-remediation capabilities. It is designed to offer privacy practitioners, legal teams, and marketing operations real-time visibility while reducing regulatory risk under GDPR, CCPA, and other global regulations.

In addition, Veeam introduced two other AI agents focused on reducing operational workloads for privacy teams.

The Data Subject Request Agent automatically generates and maintains data subject request intake forms based on an organization’s operational and regulatory requirements. According to Veeam, the tool can reduce the time required to launch Data Subject Rights (DSR) forms by approximately 50%, while helping organizations remain aligned with evolving regulations.

Meanwhile, the Assessment Agent analyzes supporting evidence and generates tailored assessment responses with a single click. The agent supports Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), EU AI Act conformity assessments, and vendor risk questionnaires.

“The way we think about privacy and AI governance has to be fundamentally different now,” said Michael Dolan, Vice President and Chief Privacy Officer at Best Buy. “Static policies and quarterly reviews were built for a world where data moved slowly, and AI didn’t make decisions. That world is gone.”

According to Veeam, the three PrivacyOps AI agents are built on the DataAI Command Platform agent framework and are intended to automate time-intensive tasks that often slow privacy and AI governance programs. The company said the agents help reduce operational overhead, eliminate implementation challenges, and allow privacy teams to focus on decisions requiring human expertise.

The Consent Agent manages the complete consent lifecycle, including banner creation, automated testing, continuous monitoring, and auto-remediation. It captures consent signals such as cookie preferences, marketing opt-outs, revoked permissions for AI personalization, and downstream processing restrictions. These preferences can then be propagated and enforced across analytics platforms, AI pipelines, advertising technologies, SaaS applications, and third-party ecosystems. The agent also uses Veeam’s regulatory database to provide jurisdiction-aware risk scoring, centralized dashboards, and audit-ready evidence.

The new capabilities are delivered through the Veeam DataAI Command Platform, which the company describes as a unified data and AI trust infrastructure for the agentic era. The platform brings together DataAI Security, DataAI Governance, DataAI Compliance, DataAI Privacy, and DataAI Resilience through the DataAI Command Graph, an intelligence layer that connects cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments through hundreds of integrations.

The platform’s DataAI Privacy capabilities are powered by the People Data Graph, an identity intelligence graph that unifies structured and unstructured personal data across hybrid multi-cloud environments. Veeam said this enables real-time, jurisdiction-aware policy enforcement and provides audit-ready evidence showing how privacy intent and policies are applied across systems.

The Consent Agent is available immediately as part of the Veeam DataAI Command Platform. The Data Subject Request Agent and Assessment Agent are scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2026. With these additions, Veeam aims to help enterprises strengthen privacy, compliance, and AI governance as organizations continue to expand the use of AI across their operations.
