ZeroDrift provides an AI compliance firewall that validates every AI-generated message against a firm’s policies and regulatory requirements, rewriting or blocking non-compliant outputs before delivery. It deploys via a single URL/change and works across major LLMs to enforce compliance across all AI surfaces. The company highlights enterprise-grade security and regulatory coverage with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR readiness.

ZeroDrift places a compliance layer in front of AI outputs: inputs pass through a gateway where each AI-generated message is checked against a policy model (Anchor) and firm rules, then either passes, is rewritten, or is blocked. It supports a one-line-of-code gateway deployment, works with all major LLM providers, and offers real-time oversight in a central command center (Guard/Command) showing what passed, what was fixed, and what was blocked. It enforces policies across financial services, healthcare, insurance, and other regulated domains, with configurable policies, per-tenant isolation, and deployment options (cloud or VPC).

Who it’s for: Regulated enterprises needing AI governance and compliance for communications, including financial services firms, insurers, healthcare providers, and other heavily regulated organizations.
