Montro AI vs Reco

Reco and Montro both address the challenge of AI tools spreading faster than anyone can track - but they're built to answer different questions. Reco asks: what can this agent access, and is it a security risk? Montro asks: what regulatory obligations does this AI tool create, and who in the organisation is accountable for it? Security posture and regulatory governance are not the same problem, even when the starting point looks identical.

RECO

What Reco does

Reco is an AI Agent Security Platform that helps organisations discover every AI agent and application, map what each can access, and identify where the risk is. The platform brings agent security, identity governance, and threat detection together - covering shadow AI discovery, overpermissioned identities, data exposure management, and real-time threat response across applications.

Montro

What Montro does

Montro is an AI Governance and SaaS Intelligence platform built for European organisations. Where Reco focuses on securing AI agents and SaaS applications from a threat and access perspective, Montro focuses on the compliance layer - classifying AI tools against EU AI Act risk tiers, mapping DORA and NIS2 obligations, and giving compliance, legal, and security teams a shared governance framework they can act on.

AI Visibility Gap

Why Legacy SaaS Tools Fail in the Modern Stack

Legacy platforms are trapped in 2021—relying on slow financial logs and static app libraries. Because they cannot see real-time AI usage or identity shifts, companies are exposed to massive operational blind spots.
