Disseqt Named a Finalist in the KPMG Private Enterprise Global Tech Innovator 2026

The Irish winner advances to the Global Tech Innovator final in Lisbon.

Disseqt joins seven other Ireland finalists in the 2026 cohort: öogo, DevAlly, The MenoPal, Galenband, Jentic, SPRYT, and ArrayPatch Ltd. The group spans health, developer tooling, and enterprise software, a signal of the range of technology being built out of Ireland this year.

Why the recognition matters

The recognition lands as enterprises move AI agents into regulated production, and discover the controls to run them safely are not yet in place.

AI agents pass evaluation in the lab, then behave differently once they touch real data and real customers. They hallucinate, drift, and go off-script at runtime, and most enterprises cannot see it happening.

That gap is what Disseqt was built to close. Naming it in front of a national judging panel helps define AI Assurance as a category buyers can ask for by name.

What Disseqt does

Disseqt is the Assurance Layer for Enterprise AI Operations. The platform covers the full AI Assurance Lifecycle in one window, across three capability groupings.

1. Test & Detect. Continuous testing before deployment and after, with vulnerability detection across the agentic stack.

2. Protect & Enforce. Run-time protection at the inference layer, policy enforcement on every agent decision, and continuous monitoring while the AI is live.

3. Prove & Comply. Automated compliance reporting mapped to the EU AI Act, FCA, SEC, and ISO/IEC 42001, with audit-ready evidence regulators accept.

AI Assurance is a new category. It is the unified layer that covers testing, monitoring, policy, audit, and compliance in one place. Buyers do not have to choose between observability and governance, or wire together point tools that each see only part of the picture.

The runtime-risk problem

Most enterprise AI governance today lives as documentation. A policy is written, a committee signs it off, and the evidence of what the system actually did in production is missing.

Regulators are starting to tell the difference. The EU AI Act, FCA model risk expectations, and ISO/IEC 42001 all point the same way: continuous, evidenced behaviour, not a point-in-time document.

Disseqt turns governance from paper into infrastructure. The platform produces the time-stamped logs, blocked-output records, and drift reports that show a live system stayed within policy, so compliance holds while the AI is running.

A word from the founder

"Being named a finalist alongside this group of Irish companies is recognition for the whole team, and for the category we are building," said Apoorva, Founder and CEO of Disseqt. "AI Assurance is where enterprise AI is heading. Agents are already running in regulated workflows, and the question has shifted from whether you have a policy to whether you can prove what the system did at runtime."

"That is the problem we solve every day. Standing in front of a national judging panel and explaining it is how a category gets named."

About the KPMG Private Enterprise Global Tech Innovator

The KPMG Private Enterprise Global Tech Innovator competition recognises early and growth-stage technology companies for their innovation and growth potential. National finalists pitch to a judging panel, and each country's winner advances to the global final. The 2026 global final takes place in Lisbon. More detail on the Ireland finalists is available on the KPMG Ireland site.

Bottom Line

Disseqt is one of eight Ireland finalists in the KPMG Private Enterprise Global Tech Innovator 2026. The recognition reflects where enterprise AI is going: agents running in production, and a growing need to prove they stay within policy.

That is the work AI Assurance does, and it is the category Disseqt is building. If you are closing the gap between AI that demos well and AI that holds up under audit, start a conversation with the team.
