Saidot launches Integrated Evaluations for Microsoft Azure AI Foundry

Seattle / Helsinki, May 20, 2025 — At this year’s Microsoft Build event, Saidot unveiled the next phase of its collaboration with Microsoft: Saidot Integrated Evaluations for Microsoft Azure AI Foundry. The new integration empowers AI teams to automate and streamline model evaluations, seamlessly connecting technical assessments to governance and compliance workflows.

Following Saidot’s announcement with Microsoft in November 2024, this milestone deepens the integration between Saidot’s governance platform and Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, delivering a critical boost to responsible AI innovation.

Why risk evaluations matter

As AI systems become more powerful and influential, ensuring that they behave reliably, fairly, and safely is critical.

Risk evaluations are technical assessments that test AI systems to uncover potential problems, such as inaccuracy, harmful content or IP and copyright infringements, before they can cause harm and create significant business risks.

By automating and integrating these evaluations into development workflows, organisations can spot and fix issues early, comply with regulatory requirements, and build greater trust in their AI products.

A new level for AI evaluation and risk management

The Saidot Integrated Evaluations for Azure AI Foundry enable organisations to:

• Automatically generate evaluation plans matched to the specific risk profile of their AI systems.
• Easily activate or dismiss suggested plans and generate Notebooks for evaluation execution in Azure.
• Simulate datasets for evaluations using Azure’s dataset generation tools.
• View and manage evaluation results directly within Saidot, linking technical findings to ongoing risk and compliance processes.

With this integration, AI teams can easily run relevant, quantified risk evaluations on Azure and feed the results directly into governance—all in one simple, unified workflow.

Customer perspective

Miltton, Nordics’ leading sustainability advisory company, has selected Saidot Integrated Evaluations for Azure AI Foundry as a core component of its AI governance strategy.

"When adopting AI, trust is everything. At Miltton, we help organisations lead with responsibility, which is why we chose Saidot’s integrated solution with Azure AI Foundry — it gives us a structured, transparent way to evaluate AI risks and readiness," says Kaius Niemi, Deputy CEO of Miltton. "The seamless link between technical evaluations and governance empowers us to innovate boldly, meet regulatory demands, and strengthen the trust our clients expect."

Accelerating Responsible AI innovation
