Veeam Software announced new agentic AI capabilities for the Veeam DataAI Command Platform designed to help organisations operationalise governance at the speed and scale of modern AI systems. Built on more than a decade of leadership in privacy operations, data intelligence, governance automation, and operational trust, Veeam’s three new AI agents achieve what traditional privacy programmes have struggled to achieve at enterprise scale: to continuously prove, with evidence, that policies are actually working across complex data and AI ecosystems.
Organisations are navigating the most complex regulatory environment in a generation. GDPR, the EU AI Act, ePrivacy, DORA, and emerging national and state AI regulations create obligations that span not just data but also AI models, consent signals, and cross-border transfers. Fines under these frameworks now reach up to 7% of global annual revenue. Yet many privacy programmes still rely on manual assessments, spreadsheets, and disconnected workflows not designed to cope with AI agents that act on enterprise data at machine speed, generating compliance events faster than any human-operated programme can track.
“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 programme 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 organisations operate.”
When a person makes privacy choices, such as opting out of tracking technologies or restricting how their data feeds an AI model, those preferences need to be respected by every system the data touches, not just the one where they clicked the button. The Consent Agent is a compliance detection and auto-remediation agent that gives privacy practitioners, legal professionals, and marketing operations like real-time visibility and reduced regulatory risk under GDPR, CCPA, and global laws. Alongside the Consent Agent, Veeam is introducing two additional new AI agents that take the most time-consuming operational work off privacy teams’ plates, including automating web forms for privacy requests and common compliance assessments.
“The way we think about privacy and AI governance has to be fundamentally different now,” said Michael Dolan, Vice President, 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.”
PrivacyOps agents built on the DataAI Command Platform agent framework
The three new PrivacyOps AI agents are designed to automate high-effort tasks that slow down privacy and AI governance programmes. Together, they reduce operational overhead, eliminate implementation friction, and free privacy teams to focus on the judgment calls that actually require human expertise.
- Consent Agent: A full-stack consent compliance and remediation agent that manages the end-to-end consent lifecycle, from banner creation and automated testing to continuous monitoring and auto-remediation. From customers’ domains, it captures user consent signals, including cookie preferences, marketing opt-outs, revoked permissions for AI personalisation, and downstream processing restrictions, then helps propagate and enforce them across every system that must honour them, including analytics platforms, AI pipelines, advertising technologies, SaaS applications, and third-party ecosystems. Powered by Veeam’s regulatory database, it closes that gap with jurisdiction-aware risk scoring, centralised dashboards, and audit-ready evidence.
- Data Subject Request Agent: Generates and maintains data subject request intake forms configured to your operational and regulatory footprint. Teams can stand up compliant forms in minutes and keep them current as regulations evolve, all without queuing legal review and developer time for every legislative change. This will reduce time to launch a Data Subject Rights (DSR) form by roughly 50%.
- Assessment Agent: Analyses supporting evidence to generate high-quality, tailored assessment responses with a single click, covering Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), EU AI Act conformity assessments, and vendor risk questionnaires.
Built for operational trust across privacy, compliance, and AI governance
These capabilities are delivered through the Veeam DataAI Command Platform, the industry’s first unified data and AI trust infrastructure for the agentic era. The platform unifies key domains, including DataAI Security, DataAI Governance, DataAI Compliance, DataAI Privacy, and DataAI Resilience, powered by the DataAI Command Graph, Veeam’s intelligence layer with broadest coverage with hundreds of connectors across every cloud, SaaS application, and on-premises environment.
DataAI Privacy is powered by the People Data Graph, the industry’s most advanced identity intelligence graph, to unify structured and unstructured personal data across hybrid multi-cloud environments. This enables real-time, jurisdiction-aware policy enforcement and produces audit-ready evidence of how intent and policy are applied. As a result, Veeam’s new AI agents operate on live, continuously updated context, not assumptions or point-in-time snapshots, so governance can keep pace with the agentic era.
