AI governance and guardrails
AI governance and guardrails for teams shipping AI features that can take actions, not just answer questions. We turn your policies into code: what each model and agent may do, what it may spend, what data it may touch, and where a human must approve before anything leaves the building. You end with AI you can defend to clients, partners, and auditors, because the rules are enforced by the system, not remembered by the team.
Enforced by the system, not remembered by the team.
WHEN YOU NEED THIS
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- AI usage inventory and risk map: every model, agent, data flow, and action ranked by blast radius
- Written policy translated into enforceable, code-level guardrails
- Input filtering and output constraints
- Action permissions: what the AI may and may not do, per workflow
- Human approval gates on outbound or irreversible actions
- Budget ceilings and rate limits on model and agent spend
- A kill switch that actually stops the system, tested before handoff
- Audit trail of AI decisions and actions, exportable for reviewers
- Data-handling rules: what reaches which model, under what terms
- Incident response playbook for AI failures
- Team guidelines for shipping new AI features
- Handoff documentation
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
- Legal advice or regulatory certification (we build the technical controls; counsel signs off)
- A one-time policy PDF with no enforcement behind it (guardrails live in code or they do not exist)
- Research-depth model red-teaming (separately scoped)
HOW WE DELIVER IT
Every AI touchpoint mapped: models, data flows, actions, spend, and exposure.
FAQ
Honest answers to the questions that show up most.
It is step one. A document the code never reads changes nothing; guardrails are the same policy enforced inside the system, so behavior does not depend on everyone remembering the PDF.
