About · Three technical founders · Full-time

We'd rather sign a receipt than write one.

ShadowIQ started because every CISO we talked to had the same problem — hundreds of AI systems, a spreadsheet, and a regulator on the way. Nobody had a tool that could both act and prove. So we built one.

Mission

Make every AI decision in the enterprise visible, governable, and provable — so innovation and accountability move at the same speed.

Values we actually reread
Evidence over claims.

If we say it, we'll sign it. Every number on this site ties to a benchmark we publish.

Inline beats after-the-fact.

Dashboards that only report aren't the answer. Control happens at the gateway.

Auditors are users.

Auditor seats are free, forever. They get read-access to verify without ShadowIQ credentials.

Standards beat lock-in.

OCSF, OTel, OSCAL, SCIM, SPIFFE, CloudEvents, FIDO2 — if there's a standard, we speak it.

The team

Three founders. Full-time. All technical.

Systems engineer. Built the signed-ledger core. If something hums at p99, he tuned it.

Ready to see the signet in motion?

Your 30-minute demo. A signed audit trail by the end of it.

We'll wire ShadowIQ into one live workload, block a prompt injection in real time, and hand you a cryptographic receipt — before the meeting ends.
