Problem
Security and compliance teams spend weeks manually chasing evidence from internal systems, drowning in vendor SOC 2 reports, and re-answering the same customer questionnaires. Producing findings that get logged but never acted on leaves organizations exposed to risks they cannot proactively identify or defend during audits.
Solution
HelmGuard AI deploys a fleet of AI agents that connect directly to source systems and automatically pull evidence, eliminating the need for manual document collection. The platform continuously assesses products and systems against defined internal standards, manages third-party risk across the full vendor lifecycle, and governs AI agents by injecting guardrails and monitoring their behavior. All findings are centralized in an integrated risk platform, where teams can model customers, regulators, requirements, and data to prioritize investments and stay audit-ready. Agents prepare evidence for upcoming audits in advance, so security teams can answer customer questions and regulatory requests without scrambling.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security, GRC, and compliance teams at established enterprises and startups that need to scale their assurance programs across internal systems, third parties, and AI agents.
