AI governance for
organizations that take
risk seriously.

We're building Asia's trusted AI risk management platform — ensuring every organization can ship AI safely, with the evidence to prove it.

01 / Mission

Make AI behave like
every other regulated workload.

Every mature organization applies rigorous controls to data, identity, and infrastructure. AI gets none of them — until now. Obiguard brings the same inspection, evidence, and framework-mapping that security teams apply everywhere else, to every model call your org makes.
01

The Problem

Traditional security falls short against AI-powered threats and autonomous agents. Organizations ship LLMs without visibility into what they say, what data they expose, or whether they follow policy.

02

Our Solution

Obiguard sits in front of every model call — inspecting prompts and completions, enforcing policy as code, and writing a tamper-evident ledger that auditors and regulators can trust.

03

The Vision

A world where AI governance is as mature as cloud security — predictive, automated, and evidence-driven. Where shipping a new AI workload doesn't require a manual audit cycle.

02 / Journey

From concept to
production governance.

Two milestones in fourteen months. The company was founded on a single conviction: that AI risk management needed to be a real product, not a spreadsheet.

03 / Values

Principles that shape
how we build.

These aren't aspirational. They're constraints we apply to every product decision, every hire, and every customer commitment.
01 — PRINCIPLE

Security first

We prioritize the security and privacy of our customers above all else. Transparency and robust protection are non-negotiable, not features.

02 — PRINCIPLE

Evidence over assertion

Saying you govern AI is not the same as proving it. Every claim we help customers make to auditors and regulators is backed by a signed, tamper-evident record.

03 — PRINCIPLE

Complementary, not competitive

We sit in front of your existing stack — gateways, SIEMs, GRC platforms — and make them better. We never fight your existing investments.

04 — PRINCIPLE

Operator-first design

Security and platform teams have enough dashboards. We design for the on-call engineer at 2am and the auditor with a 90-day window, not a demo audience.

05 — PRINCIPLE

Continuous, not periodic

Quarterly review cycles don't match how fast AI workloads change. Governance has to be a real-time stream, not a snapshot.

06 — PRINCIPLE

Open by default

Policy as code, OPA-compatible, open detector APIs. Customers own their governance posture. We make it easier to express and enforce it, not lock it in.

40+
Combined years experience

Across telco, fintech, identity, and ML platform engineering.

7
Compliance frameworks

NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and more.

14d
Median time to enforce

From first conversation to enforced policy in production.

1K+

We benefit from Antler's global network of founders and operators.
