The Compliance Layer for Enterprise AI
Every enterprise wants AI. Compliance teams can't approve it. We built the missing infrastructure.
The Origin
The pattern in regulated finance is consistent: everyone wants AI capabilities, but security and compliance teams have no way to approve cloud-based solutions. The barrier was never capability. It was data governance.
You've wanted to deploy AI. You may have even tried—standing up local infrastructure, wrestling with model deployment, diverting your team from alpha generation to AI operations.
PRYZM exists so you don't have to become an AI company to use AI.
AWS infrastructure. On-prem caliber privacy. Your data never trains a model—PRYZM Airlock makes that architecturally impossible, not just policy. Our models, however, are purpose-trained for the operational tasks you actually need: reliable, specific, built for regulated workflows.
Built for compliance teams, by one.
Focus on alpha. We'll handle the infrastructure.
Why Now
EU AI Act Deadline
August 2026 creates genuine urgency for enterprises that have been waiting to act. Comprehensive documentation and audit trails will be required for AI in regulated industries.
OCC Breach Fallout
The April 2025 breach validated the "toxic data" problem and made CISOs even more cautious about cloud AI. Major banks have limited electronic information sharing entirely.
Enclave Infrastructure Ready
Hyperscalers have built enclave infrastructure but lack the compliance layer to make it usable for regulated industries. PRYZM bridges that gap.
Auditor Demand
Big 4 audit firms are actively seeking technology partners because they cannot attest to AI black boxes with their current tooling. Evidence Packs solve this.

Founder
I started PRYZM because I watched the same pattern play out at every regulated institution I worked with: leadership wanted AI capabilities, engineering was ready to build, and compliance said no. Not because they were wrong—because the existing tools gave them nothing to say yes to.
The compliance team isn't the bottleneck. The absence of provable infrastructure is. Every major AI vendor asks enterprises to trust them with their most sensitive data. Trust isn't auditable. Cryptographic proof is.
PRYZM builds the infrastructure layer that makes AI deployable in environments where “trust us” isn't an acceptable answer. We're creating a new category—provable AI—and I'm assembling the team to define it.
We're Hiring
Founding CTO
PRYZM is actively recruiting a founding Chief Technology Officer to co-build the provable AI category. This is a co-founder-level role with significant equity for someone who has operated at the intersection of distributed systems, cryptography, and enterprise infrastructure at scale.
Profile
Senior architect or principal engineer from a tier-1 infrastructure company. Deep experience with HSMs, TEEs, or confidential computing.
Equity
Co-founder level. This is a “build the category together” opportunity, not a hire.
Timing
Seed round closing March 2026. Ideal start: immediate. The architecture is designed—we need someone to own it.
Competitive Position
Cloud AI Providers
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google
Powerful models but zero compliance infrastructure. Architecture requires sending data to their servers.
Open Source Frameworks
Crew AI, LangChain, AutoGen
Agent orchestration but no security isolation or audit trails. DIY compliance burden.
PRYZM
Agent Marketplace + Compliance
The only solution combining marketplace economics, hardware-level isolation, and cryptographic Evidence Packs.
