From Idea to Industry Recognition

Just a year ago, NEKOD was little more than a conviction: That technology must be democratized, and that business-built software needs governance that keeps pace.

Today, we’re building that future — helping banks and enterprises unlock innovation at the edge, while maintaining trust and control.

Being featured at Money20/20, Europe’s leading stage for financial innovation, is more than an honor. It’s validation that the problem we’re solving — Shadow IT 2.0 — is real, urgent, and finally getting the attention it deserves.

What Is Shadow IT 2.0?

We’ve entered a new phase of digital transformation.
Not just Excel macros or rogue SaaS signups — but business-led creation of apps, automations, and AI workflows using tools like:

• Microsoft Power Platform

• Notion, Airtable, and Zapier

• Custom scripts and GenAI copilots

• No-code and low-code platforms

• AI agents built in GPT-based environments

This wave of business-built tools lives outside traditional IT, exposing companies to compliance, security, and data risks — and making existing governance models obsolete.

What NEKOD Does

NEKOD is the control layer for business-built software.
We help enterprises:

✅ Auto-discover apps and automations across the organization
✅ Assess and score risk based on usage, data access, and ownership
✅ Enforce governance rules and share policies across platforms
✅ Map back to compliance frameworks like DORA, the AI Act, and internal policies

Whether it’s a Power App, a Copilot-generated AI tool, or a no-code automation — NEKOD gives companies the visibility and guardrails to govern what’s being built.

Why It Matters

Financial institutions are under growing pressure to modernize, but safely.
The rise of business-built AI and automation is both an opportunity and a risk.

Money20/20's recognition reinforces that governance is not a blocker to innovation — it’s the enabler. And we’re proud to lead the way in shaping this category.

Let’s Build the Future of Trusted Innovation

We're already working with major banks and global enterprises. If you're facing the challenge of managing low-code, no-code, or AI-built tools across business teams, let’s talk.
