We’re building Guard by Vibtra to help IT teams control what staff send to AI tools.

Guard runs on the Mac. It checks supported AI requests against your organisation’s rules and can block sensitive data before it reaches the provider. Staff see which rule triggered the block; IT manages policy and reviews activity in a web console.

We’ve verified app and website switches for Claude and ChatGPT on specific client versions. During a pilot, we test coverage against the workflows your team actually uses.

We’re looking for a few organisations to try it on a small group of Macs. The pilot is free for 30 days. If you’re in Melbourne, we’ll come on-site and help set it up.

We’re also committing to releasing an open-source Community Edition by the end of this week.
