About us
AIBound is built by security practitioners, for security practitioners.
We have been CISOs, security architects and incident responders at some of the world's largest security and technology companies.
Why we built it
The AI your employees run is invisible. We built AIBound to see it and stop it.
Your security stack watches the network, the process list and the cloud. It never looks at the AI itself.
Meanwhile employees install agents, MCP servers and skills on their own devices, with their own access, and nobody told security.
We have been the CISOs and incident responders who got that call. So we built the platform we wished we had: it finds the AI, stops the high-risk ones in real time, and hands the board the evidence.
What makes it different
One platform. Built to stop, not just to watch.
-
See
It reads the AI itself.
AIBound works at the endpoint, where the AI runs. It finds the agents, MCP servers, skills, models, apps and prompts, and what each one can reach.
-
Stop
It stops high-risk AI in real time.
Policy runs inside the agent: allow, ask or deny. Malicious skills are blocked at install. An AI Kill Switch stops a rogue agent on every endpoint.
-
Deploy
There is no new agent to run.
IT pushes the AIBound Secure Client like any other app. Install takes 15 minutes.
-
Govern
It is built for the board.
Every decision is recorded as evidence for the GRC program you already run, mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.

Meet the CEO
Niall Browne. Five times a global CISO.
Niall is Co-founder and CEO of AIBound. He has more than 25 years of security leadership behind him, most recently as SVP and Global CISO at Palo Alto Networks. Before that he was Chief Trust Officer at Workday, where he built the entire security and trust program while scaling it globally.
He has sat in the chair our customers sit in, and he built AIBound for it. Security stops being the department of no.

What we stand for
Four rules we build by.
-
AI security first
We design everything around keeping your business safe: least-privilege access, and architectures that minimize data movement while maximizing signal.
-
Built with CISOs
We don't build features in a vacuum. We solve the gaps your existing stack can't cover, working side by side with CISOs, security engineers and IT teams on real AI deployments.
-
Enterprise grade
We are built for large organizations: fast time to value, scalable architecture, and the controls CISOs need in front of a board and regulators.
-
Transparent by design
We are clear about what we see, what we don't, and how we handle your data, with auditable records, explainable risk scores, and controls you can verify, not just trust.
Where we work
One team, four places.
Founders, sales and engineers across the United States, the UK, India and South Africa.

Join the team
Help security teams keep up with AI.
If you care deeply about security, are energized by AI's potential, and want to work with practitioners on the front lines of this shift, we would love to talk.

What is AIBound?
AIBound is an Enterprise AI Security Platform. It finds the AI agents, personal agents, MCP servers, skills, models, apps and prompts your employees run, stops the high-risk ones in real time, and integrates with your GRC program. AIBound does AI Usage Control (AIUC) at the endpoint.
Is AIBound SOC 2 Type II compliant?
Yes. AIBound is SOC 2 Type II compliant and ISO 27001 certified. The AIBound Secure Client is read-only and collects tool metadata only, with no PII or PHI, and it has no inbound access. Every decision AIBound makes is recorded as evidence for your GRC program.
Does AIBound need an agent installed?
No new agent. IT pushes the AIBound Secure Client to employee devices like any other app, with the tools it already uses. The client is read-only and install takes 15 minutes. From there, AIBound finds the AI employees run and stops the high-risk ones in real time.
Where is AIBound based?
AIBound is headquartered in San Mateo, California. It also has offices in the United Kingdom, in Bengaluru, India, and in Cape Town, South Africa.
