Generative AI Safety, Trust and Runtime Security Platform

Trustwise was founded in 2022 in Austin, Texas. The company develops AI-focused cybersecurity tools designed to safeguard sensitive data and maintain operational control over enterprise AI systems. The company embeds continuous monitoring, access oversight, and protective enforcement directly into AI workflows to prevent misuse, unauthorized access, and manipulation, covering risks such as adversarial attacks, model drift, or dataset poisoning. Its platform supports automated policy enforcement and audit readiness, using predictive analytics and anomaly detection to identify vulnerabilities early.

A key part of Trustwise’s approach is enabling secure data collaboration across internal stakeholders and external partners. The company introduces mechanisms such as Shielded Agents and Guardian Agents to enforce predefined behavioral constraints and monitor system activity. Trustwise’s offerings are tailored for regulated industries like healthcare and finance, where domain-specific risks — patient data exposure, transaction fraud, or regulatory compliance — require fine-grained control over AI decision paths. Its architecture delivers these controls through APIs, SDKs, and modular components built for integration into existing enterprise environments.

Trustwise raised $4 million in seed funds in June 2024 in a round led by Hitachi Ventures with participation from Firestreak Ventures and Grit Ventures.
