Decision and architecture
We start with process, data and success criteria.
- Use case, risk and build-versus-buy
- Supplier, DPA, region and retention
- RAG, integrations and system boundaries
We help organisations deploy useful AI without giving the model more access than the business process requires.
This is an additional service alongside our core security practice. Solution design is combined with threat modelling, access control and pre-production testing so security is not added at the end.
We start with process, data and success criteria.
Control is designed outside the prompt.
The deployment must be measurable and stoppable.
We select a measurable process and define data, users and unacceptable outcomes.
A small flow is built with access control, test data and full observability.
Normal tasks, failures, abuse and integration faults are tested before production access.
Deployment is staged with limits, ownership, monitoring and a rapid shutdown path.
Security comes from permission filtering before retrieval and before context reaches the model.
This is an architecture pattern, not a client system.
The user maps to a trusted application identity
Retrieval filters tenant, owner and data class
The model has no tool that bypasses authorisation
Regression tests use documents owned by two isolated teams
No. We first verify measurable value and whether a model is the right tool. High-risk decisions are not automated without proportionate controls.
The answer depends on data, scale, cost and requirements. A reputable API can be operationally safer; self-hosting adds control but transfers responsibility for the entire stack.
Yes. We can act as an independent architecture reviewer, run threat modelling or test before launch without owning implementation.
We will start with data, permissions and a measurable objective before selecting the model and architecture.
