The Problem

AI is Exploding Inside Enterprises.
Nobody Knows What It's Doing.

🎲

Dozens of AI models from different vendors with no unified oversight

🤖

Hundreds of AI agents making autonomous decisions without audit trails

⚠️

Hallucinations & errors creating legal liability and brand risk

📜

Regulatory tsunami — EU AI Act, US AI EO with zero compliance tools

🔓

Data leakage through prompts exposing sensitive information

💸

Runaway costs with no visibility into AI spend or optimization

"Companies have zero visibility today. AI systems behave like undocumented black boxes."
The Solution

The world's first universal AI traffic control system — monitoring, auditing, and enforcing compliance across every AI in your enterprise.

🔍
Universal Visibility

See every AI interaction across all systems, vendors, and platforms in real-time.

🛡️
Automated Compliance

EU AI Act, SOC2, GDPR, and custom policy enforcement with zero manual effort.

⚡
Real-Time Control

Block, rewrite, or reroute AI outputs that violate your rules — instantly.

📊
Audit & Provenance

Cryptographic proof of every AI decision: who, what, when, why, and how.

🎯
Behavior Contracts

Define rules like IAM for AI: spending limits, approval workflows, data boundaries.

💰
Cost Optimization

Track, allocate, and optimize AI spend across teams and use cases.

Architecture

How GridMark Works

1. Universal Interceptor

  • Prompts & outputs from any model
  • Agent plans & autonomous actions
  • System-to-system AI workflows

2. Governance Engine

  • Safety checks (bias, toxicity, GDPR)
  • Hallucination scoring & fact-checking
  • Compliance mapping & cost tracking

3. Behavior Contracts

  • "AI cannot fabricate financial data"
  • "Human approval for payments > $1K"
  • "Always verify against 3 sources"

4. Auto-Remediation

  • Block or rewrite unsafe outputs
  • Flag for human review
  • Route to secondary verification model
