About the CompanyOur client builds AI governance and cybersecurity infrastructure for the world's largest banks, asset managers, and insurers. Its platform delivers auditable AI guardrails, hallucination checks, red-teaming, and observability so regulated enterprises can productionize AI with confidence.
