How We Work

How we can help you

Compliance and Safety:

We provide the safety testing required by the EU AI Act, and can guide you on ISO compliance and the NIST AI framework.

Continuous Audit or Red-Team:

Your organization is built on reputation and trust, and you want an external audit of your AI app. We combine a continuous audit and human red team test to monitor and measure your AI product.

AI Startups Roadmap:

For startup founders, we offer a DIY Roadmap to Responsible AI. This personalized strategic vision and coaching is a low-cost guide to best practices.

Upgrade internal knowledge:

Build data protection culture and knowledge! We offer bespoke coaching: strategic decision-making for leaders, and game-based training for developers and technical staff.

Our approach has heart

What makes us different?

We are more than a freelance AI red team. We are your partner in building a safe and trustworthy AI product.

GREATER GOOD

We don’t build things we don’t believe in.

RESPECT

We respect ourselves, our clients, and the people whose data we are using and protecting. We offer and expect honesty and humility as part of core aspects of respect.

Quality and process

We do work we are proud of and anticipate our clients will also be proud of the outcomes. We arrive at quality through clear processes and analysis.

INCLUSION

Technology should be designed for everyone. We believe in building inclusive technology that takes into account the expectations and needs of people.

FEEDBACK

We work with clients who appreciate our feedback, pushback, processes, and experience.

We see your project through by providing metrics and continuous monitoring that will give you long-term confidence.
