Knowa
The AI governance operating system for boards and advisers
Knowa is a board governance platform that creates a single, secure record of every document, decision, and action for a board. It solves the problem of scattered information across shared drives, emails, and chat threads, which makes it difficult to find past decisions, track actions, and maintain institutional memory when board members change.
The platform includes a Smart Vault for documents, a Collaboration Space for discussion, and Meeting Flow for managing the meeting cycle. It offers sector-specific modules for risk registers, action tracking, conflicts of interest, and CPD. Knowa Q is an AI assistant that answers plain-English questions by searching the board's own documents and history, citing its sources. The platform integrates with single sign-on (SSO) and provides role-based access, audit logs, and enterprise-grade encryption (TLS 1.3 and AES-256). It is ISO 27001 certified and hosted in the UK.
Knowa is designed for UK pension trustee boards, charities, school governors, family offices, and company boards. It is packaged with onboarding, data migration, and training included in the subscription. The platform supports multiple boards for advisers and clerks, and offers configurable permissions per workspace, document, and user.
