Design and implementation of production-grade guardrails across your AI pipelines — from input sanitisation to output filtering and agent tool access controls.

Guardrail Setup
$8,000
fixed fee

Design and implementation of production-grade guardrails across your AI pipelines — from input sanitisation to output filtering and agent tool access controls. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight, or custom models. Real-time monitoring + jailbreak alerting. Developer docs + security runbook. ~2 weeks delivery.

🛡️

Input Sanitisation & Injection Defence

Layered input validation: regex patterns, semantic similarity checks, embedding-based anomaly detection, and LLM-as-judge classifiers. Blocks prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and data exfiltration prompts before they reach the model.

🔍

Model Output Filtering & Classification

Real-time output scanning for PII, secrets, unsafe content, hallucination markers, and brand-violating language. Configurable allow/block/quarantine actions per category with audit logging.

🔧

Agent Tool Access Policy Enforcement

Principle-of-least-privilege tool schemas with runtime validation. Parameter allow-lists, rate limits, domain allow-lists for HTTP calls, and dynamic policy evaluation based on user context and conversation state.

🔑

API Key Hardening & Rotation Strategy

Credential scoping per environment, automated rotation schedules, short-lived token exchange, and vault integration (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, 1Password). Eliminates long-lived keys in code.

📡

Monitoring & Alerting Setup

Real-time dashboards for injection attempts, policy violations, tool misuse, and anomaly scores. Alert routing to Slack, PagerDuty, or email with severity tiers. Historical trend analysis for security reviews.

Developer docs + security runbook for ongoing ops
~2 weeks delivery from kickoff

How It Works

From audit to deployed guardrails in two weeks. No vendor lock-in — you own the code and configs.

1
Audit & Design

Current State Audit

Review existing AI pipelines, model providers, tool schemas, data flows, and threat model. Define guardrail requirements and success criteria.

2
Build & Test

Implementation

Build sanitisation layers, output filters, tool policies, and monitoring. Unit test each layer against adversarial dataset. Staging deployment.

3
Validate

Red-Team Validation

Run automated + manual adversarial tests against deployed guardrails. Measure bypass rates, false positive rates, latency overhead. Iterate until targets met.

4
Handoff

Production Deploy + Handoff

Deploy to production with feature flags. Provide developer docs, security runbook, and 2-week hypercare support. You own the code.

Common Questions

What model providers does this work with?
OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex, self-hosted open-weight (Llama, Mistral, Qwen), and custom fine-tunes. The guardrails sit at the application layer, not the model layer.
What's the latency overhead?
Typically 50-150ms per request for the full stack (sanitisation + filtering + policy check). We optimise with async processing, caching, and tiered checks so the critical path stays fast.
Can we tune false positive rates?
Yes. Each filter category has configurable thresholds. We calibrate during the validation phase using your actual traffic samples. You get dashboards to monitor and adjust post-launch.
Do you host the guardrails or do we?
You host. We deliver the code (Python/TypeScript), configs, and IaC (Terraform/CDK) for your cloud. No SaaS dependency, no data leaves your VPC.
What's the difference between this and the $5K Audit?
Audit = find the holes. Guardrails = plug them permanently. Audit is a point-in-time assessment; Guardrails is a production system that continuously protects. Most clients do Audit first, then Guardrails.

Deploy Guardrails

Stop hoping your prompts hold. Build guardrails that actually work — with monitoring, alerting, and code you own.
