Mindgard secures the AI-driven world as its rapid momentum reshapes our global landscape. Rooted in pioneering research, we provide the visibility and protection needed to neutralize threats across the entire AI lifecycle.
Mindgard’s philosophy is grounded in offensive security. By emulating how attackers scope, plan, and exploit AI systems, the platform helps organizations understand exposure, assess exploitability, and reduce risk from evolving, agentic AI threats.
Organizations are rapidly adopting AI technologies, embedding them into production environments without full visibility into how their probabilistic and opaque behaviors introduce exploitable risk. Mindgard addresses this challenge by providing AI security solutions that help enterprises secure AI models, agents, and applications across the AI lifecycle. Spun out of more than a decade of AI security research at Lancaster University and headquartered in Boston and London, Mindgard enables organizations to identify, assess, and mitigate real-world AI threats.
Mindgard's values guide our actions and decisions. These principles form the foundation of our company's culture, shaping how we interact within our teams and with our clients. They inspire us to improve continuously and help us navigate the dynamic landscape of the AI security industry.
