About · Gadriel AI Corp.

    The Watcher at the gate

    Gadriel AI is the AI System Assurance platform — built by enterprise security operators, not VC-prompted founders. Two products: AI Code Assurance (GCA) and AI Behavior Assurance (GBA). Eight pillars. One gate.

    First principles

    Mission

    Validate what AI writes, what AI does, and what AI costs — before it ships. Give engineering, security, and AI teams a Watcher at the gate, so they can move faster with less risk, higher quality, and lower cost.

    Vision

    A world where every AI-generated line of code and every AI system action is proven sound before it reaches production — with mathematical, reproducible, audit-defensible evidence, not LLM-as-judge guesswork.

    Why Gadriel

    Gadriel — the Watcher set at the gate of Eden. We took the name on purpose. The gate is everything. Guard it well, and nothing gets past you. We built Gadriel so teams never have to find out what does.

    The team

    A decade-deep cybersecurity bench

    The people behind Gadriel come from Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and other leading cybersecurity companies — each bringing more than a dozen years of operator experience in security, cloud, and platform engineering. That bench is how we guarantee the success of the company: AI System Assurance is built by people who have shipped, secured, and scaled real enterprise systems.
