Accountability starts with us.

A year ago, most AI agents only advised. Now they act. They read records, call tools, trigger workflows, write code, and change production systems. Inside the companies that run them, they hold real authority.

But the systems we use to answer who did this, what were they allowed to do, and who approved it were built for people. Authority moved to agents. Accountability did not move with it.

Guard0 closes that gap. We are the accountability layer that lets you see what your agents are, know what they did, and know who stands behind them. So you can trust your agents the way you have always trusted your people.

The gap

Authority: Moved to agents
Accountability: Still points at people

Guard0 exists to close the second row.

Who we already answer to.

Governance teams at banks, fintechs, and global enterprises. Each figure below states what it counts.

Principles, not process.

Four commitments. We are remote-first and async by default, and we care about what you ship, not when you are online.

Build for builders.
We are engineers building for engineers. Every feature has to pass one test: would we run it against our own infrastructure? If the answer is no, we do not ship it.
We hold ourselves to what we sell.
Guard0 is about accountability, so we start with our own. Every change has an owner. When something breaks, you know who is on it, from design to the 2 a.m. page.
Earn the access.
We ask companies to let us see their most sensitive systems. We treat that access the way we would want ours treated: least privilege, full transparency, and the plain truth about what we cannot do yet.
Learn out loud.
We publish our research, open-source our tools, and share what we learn. The Signal, g0, and our OWASP work exist because security gets better when knowledge is shared.

Security engineers who have built and broken enterprise infrastructure.

We come from the companies where AI agents are already deployed at scale. We have seen what happens when an agent is handed authority and no one can answer for what it did. That is why we are building Guard0.

Who stands behind Guard0.

Every agent on Guard0 has a named owner. These are the people accountable for Guard0 itself.
