ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) is one of the best data governance stocks to buy for AI compliance.

On May 5, 2026, ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) expanded AI Control Tower with capabilities to discover, observe, govern, secure, and measure AI systems, agents, and workflows across enterprise environments. The company said the platform now gives customers control across five dimensions, including runtime observability into AI agent behavior through Traceloop and security controls through Veza that extend identity governance, scoped permissions, and least-privilege enforcement to AI systems and agents. That is directly tied to the AI compliance theme because agentic AI creates a messy new control problem: enterprises need to know what agents exist, what data they can access, what actions they can take, and when they cross policy boundaries.

The same day, ServiceNow launched Autonomous Security & Risk, integrating Armis and Veza to govern AI agents, identities, and connected assets. ServiceNow said Veza’s access graph helps map who or what has access, what that access allows, and how those permissions change, creating the traceability that auditors and regulators require.

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) provides workflow automation, AI, security, risk, IT service management, and enterprise operations software.
