Secure the AIyou ship.
AI cybersecurity covers two things: using AI to strengthen your defenses, and securing the AI systems you put into production. We help with both, with the deepest focus on securing AI, because we build AI systems and know exactly where the data, model, and prompt-injection risks live.
The two sides of AI cybersecurity.
The phrase means two different things, and most pages blur them. Here is the plain distinction, so you know which one you actually need.
Using AI to do security
AI strengthens your defenses: spotting anomalies, prioritizing alerts, and automating routine response. We help here as advisors and integrators, wiring AI into your security workflows. We are not a detection product or a managed SOC.
Securing the AI you deploy
The newer risk: the AI systems you put into production can be attacked or leak data in ways traditional security never had to handle. This is the side we own, because we build these systems and harden them from the inside.
Where AI actually breaks.
Securing an AI system means controlling what data it sees, what actions it can take, and what it returns. The OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications is the reference list of what goes wrong.
Prompt injection
Crafted input, direct from a user or hidden in content the model reads, that hijacks its behaviour. It is the number-one risk in the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.
Data leakage
Sensitive information disclosed through a model that can see more than it should, or that returns data it was never meant to surface.
Data and model poisoning
Tampered training data or inputs that corrupt what a model learns or how it behaves, quietly and hard to detect after the fact.
Excessive agency
An agent given more access or autonomy than the task needs, so a single mistake or exploit can reach far more than it should.
We defend against these in depth: least-privilege and scoped tool access, careful input and output handling, human approval for high-risk actions, full logging, and adversarial testing before launch. These are the same guardrails we build into every agent, covered in our guide to building AI agents.
AI on your security team.
On the defensive side, AI handles the volume so your people can handle the judgment. We help you put it to work: advisory and automation, integrated with the tools you already run, not a product we sell you.
Detect by behaviour
AI flags anomalies and patterns across large volumes of security data, catching what signature rules miss.
Triage and prioritize
Enrich, correlate, and rank alerts so the real signals rise above the noise and reach a human faster.
Automate the response
Routine, well-understood response steps run automatically, while a person makes every consequential call.
The rules catching up.
As AI moves into production, governance frameworks define how to manage its risk. This matters sooner than most expect: IBM reported that 97 percent of organizations with an AI-related breach lacked proper AI access controls (IBM, 2025).
NIST AI RMF
Voluntary US guidance organized around four functions, Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage. A practical backbone for managing AI risk.
ISO/IEC 42001
The first internationally certifiable AI management-system standard, the AI counterpart to ISO 27001 for information security.
EU AI Act
Law, not guidance, with risk tiers and penalties, phasing in over the coming years. If you operate in or sell into the EU, it applies.
You do not need a multi-year program to start. A right-sized first step is concrete: inventory where AI is used, classify the risk, set access controls, add human oversight, and log and monitor what runs.
Straight about what we are.
How an engagement works
We assess where your AI is used and exposed, prioritize the gaps that matter, implement the controls and guardrails, and set up monitoring, advising along the way. We map the work to public frameworks like NIST and OWASP rather than to a black box.
What we are, and are not
We are a services and advisory shop that secures the AI we and others build. We are not a threat-detection product, not a managed SOC, and not a certified auditor. In a category full of bold claims, we would rather tell you exactly what we do and bring in specialists where you need them.
Secure it, build it, or govern it.
Build the AI
The agents and automations this page protects are built in our AI Agent Development practice, with guardrails from day one.
Govern it at scale
Running several agents? AI Operating Systems is where access control, monitoring, and oversight live in one place.
Start with strategy
