Portal26 Launches Recon: Ask Any Plain Language Question To Deliver Immediate, Actionable Answers to Any Question about AI Use in the Enterprise.

Your AI Data Is Talking. Is Anyone Listening?

First of its Kind Capability Lets Forward-Deployed Engineers, CIOs, CISOs, and Compliance Teams get Real-time, evidence-based answers and Adapt Protocols Automatically for AI Risk and Regulations as they Evolve

LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Portal26 today announced Recon by Portal26, an industry-first capability that enables enterprises to make plain language queries about all their present and past AI consumption data and also adapt their AI governance and security controls in real time to evolving risks and opportunities. Recon enriches every prompt, response, agent, and AI tool touchpoint with company, user, intent, and behavioral context - then turns it into a measurable signal of risk, governance gaps, opportunity, and spend. Built for CIOs, Chief AI Officers, CISOs, and Compliance, Legal teams, and Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs),, Recon delivers immediate, actionable answers, system updates, and insights – even create detailed audits and board-level reporting.

With enterprises still lacking visibility and insights into what’s really happening with their AI deployments, examples of what Recon can put instantly within reach:

• Ask questions in plain language, such as “What is the impact to my GDPR and CCPA compliance posture from my AI usage?” or “Assess my AI usage against ISO 42001’s mandatory requirements” and get an instant, evidence-based answer.
• Auto-generated risk scorecards, complete with a built-in one-month remediation plan.
• AI-driven remediation. Recon doesn’t just flag issues; it can help fix them.
• Adaptive, self-remediating governance. As regulations shift, Recon flags where the organization falls short and helps close the gap before it becomes exposed.
• Post-deployment performance tracking, so teams can answer “what KPIs are these agents actually moving?” and report on ROI with confidence.
• Department-level maturity mapping, plotting teams from Dormant to Strategic so leaders know where to invest, where to govern, and where to leave alone.
• Anything else you can think of or anything you are asked for as it pertains to your organization’s use of AI.

Insightful and Adaptive for Reporting, Risk and Evolving Compliance

Recon lets enterprises track its real-world AI governance, performance and ROI, giving Chief AI Officers, CIOs, and COOs a live, board-ready view of AI program health in minutes, not a retrospective report months later. For CISOs and SOC teams, Recon also closes detection gaps and continuously tightens security posture, without waiting on a manual review cycle. And for compliance and legal teams, Recon identifies exposure the moment a new regulation lands and helps deploy detection rules the same day, replacing the quarter-plus wait for a compliance review with evidence ready to walk into an audit.

“Every AI leader I talk to is wrestling with the same problem: they’re accountable for how AI is used across the business, but they don’t have a way to answer all the nuanced questions thrown at them,” said Arti Raman, CEO of Portal26. “Recon instantly closes that gap. It gives CIOs, CISOs, CDAOs, and CAIOs a single, plain-language view of risk, adoption, performance, and AI consumption behaviors — so decisions about AI stop being reactive and start being governed. The next time you meet with your AI governance committee, your board of directors, or your BU leaders, save a seat for Recon - it will answer all those questions that come up, which you would have otherwise had to spend hours digging into after the meeting!”

Recon is also an essential tool for Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE).

“FDEs are the new front line of enterprise software deployment,” said Pakshi Rajan, Portal26’s Chief AI Officer and VP Products. “Palantir pioneered the model, and now every major AI lab and platform is scaling it, but these teams have neither visibility into what the right AI apps and agents are to build, nor what actually happens once they leave the room. Recon turns the light on before, during, and after the FDE.”

“FDEs are on the front lines of AI deployment, but they’re too often flying blind — pushing models into production without knowing what’s actually happening once they’re live,” said Joe Boggio, VP, Strategic Alliances at Portal26. “Recon gives FDEs the same visibility their leadership needs, in the moment they need it, so they can move fast without losing sight of risk.”

Recon by Portal26 is available now to enterprise customers. Full details are available at portal26.ai.
