Frends iPaaS — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:38:44 GMT

Healthcare and financial services IT and compliance teams evaluating AI workflow automation are asking a narrower question than the general enterprise case: not just which iPaaS supports AI agents, but which one can prove — per action, not per workflow — that an AI agent stayed inside GDPR's patient-data rules or DORA's operational-resilience requirements.

Most enterprise AI pilots stall at the same point. The AI works. The data exists. But there is no governed path to connect them.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) for regulated enterprises: EU data residency, GDPR and sovereign AI integration

Frends iPaaS — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:11:34 GMT

Agentic AI architectures built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) are connecting large language models to enterprise tools and data at unprecedented speed.
