About Nirmata

Nirmata is the governance and enforcement platform for AI agents and cloud infrastructure. Enterprises deploying AI agents face a problem traditional tools weren't built for: identity tells you who an agent is, not what it's allowed to do, where it can act, or what approvals apply. Risk surfaces now span developer IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, Terraform runs, LLM APIs, and MCP tool calls.

No single point-solution covers all of them. Nirmata does. Our control plane enforces governance at every layer where AI risk and value are created — intercepting agent actions before execution, applying policy, routing for human approval when needed, and maintaining an immutable audit trail. Built on Kyverno — the CNCF-graduated policy engine with 3.2B+ downloads, running in 6,000+ enterprises. Nirmata extends the same enforcement model that platform engineers already trust for Kubernetes to govern AI agents, LLM APIs, and MCP tool calls.

Every policy is deterministic, version-controlled, and GitOps-native — not a black box. We provide AI-powered, enterprise-grade Kubernetes security and policy-as-code solutions that help organizations automate compliance, prevent misconfigurations, and govern complex multi-cluster environments. Our platform uses artificial intelligence to translate natural-language security requirements into enforceable policies, automatically detect vulnerabilities, generate remediation recommendations, and continuously optimize the security posture.

Serving organizations in highly regulated industries, including financial services, healthcare, and utilities, Nirmata enables platform engineering and DevOps teams to scale Kubernetes securely while maintaining compliance with SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory frameworks. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Jose, California.
