What is Guardrail Technologies AI?

Guardrail Technologies AI is a privacy and access control platform designed to manage what data AI systems can view, store, and share. Rather than controlling the AI model itself, it sits between your data and AI applications, acting as a gatekeeper. This is particularly useful for organisations handling sensitive information, customer data, or proprietary content that shouldn't be accessible to all AI tools or users. The platform helps enforce data governance policies without requiring changes to your underlying AI infrastructure. It's aimed at businesses concerned with data privacy, compliance, and controlling which team members or systems can access information processed by AI.
