WitnessAI helps enterprises adopt generative AI safely through security and governance guardrails for public and private LLMs. We’re backed by GV and Ballistic, raised $27.5M, and already deployed at a global airline, telco, payments processor, and credit union.

WitnessAI enables secure and governed adoption of generative AI in the enterprise. In the past year, we’ve spoken with over 200 organizations across industries about their plans for AI adoption. Initially, CISOs were highly cautious—citing risks like data leakage, model misuse, and loss of intellectual property. Some enforced zero-tolerance AI policies, with severe penalties for violations, including termination.

Six months later, that narrative has flipped. Organizations now see AI as critical for innovation and productivity—and they’re under pressure to adopt quickly. However, the rush to deploy AI often outpaces the security, governance, and compliance controls needed to do so safely.
WitnessAI solves this urgent problem by enabling the safe and effective adoption of enterprise AI through security and governance guardrails for public and private LLMs. The WitnessAI Secure AI Enablement Platform provides visibility of employee AI use, control of that use via AI-oriented policy, and protection of that use via data and topic security.

WitnessAI addresses critical gaps in:

• Visibility – Detecting and monitoring AI usage enterprise-wide
• Security – Protecting data, models, and chatbots
• Governance – Controlling who can do what with AI, and how
• Compliance – Helping teams meet evolving regulatory mandates

Our enterprise-grade platform provides complete agentless network-level visibility across thousands of AI applications including shadow AI. Unlike basic keyword blocking, we understand employee intent to build context-aware policies that enable productivity while stopping real data leakage and preventing emerging AI threats. Intelligent AI routing delivers effective control by optimizing requests based on risk, cost, or purpose. With single-tenant architecture and customer-controlled encryption, we transform AI security from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage that drives measurable business ROI.

Our AI research team has developed advanced classification models that detect user intent, flag harmful responses, and prevent prompt injection. These models are integrated into a production-scale platform capable of supporting 100,000+ employees using it simultaneously—giving enterprises both cutting-edge research and robust deployment infrastructure.
Founded in 2023 by CEO Rick Caccia and CTO Gil Spencer, we’ve raised $27.5M in Series A funding from Google Ventures and Ballistic Ventures. Our platform became commercially available in October 2024 and is already used by a Top 3 Global Airline, a Global Telco, a National Payments Processor, and a Regional Credit Union.

Whether enabling employee productivity, securing internal LLMs, or ensuring compliance across jurisdictions, WitnessAI delivers the guardrails enterprises need to harness the power of AI—safely, responsibly, and at scale.
