Keep AI Under Control. Keep Your Business Protected.
AI is becoming more autonomous, more connected, and more capable of making decisions and taking actions.
That creates new risks.
An AI agent may have access to your systems, customer information, internal documents, APIs, email, financial tools, or business operations. Without proper controls, an AI system can make an unauthorized decision, expose sensitive information, follow a malicious instruction, or take an action it was never supposed to take.
Maryvelle AI provides protection layers that help keep AI systems within defined boundaries.
We monitor what AI is doing, control what it is allowed to access, prevent unauthorized actions, and introduce human oversight when decisions require it.
We don’t just build AI.
We help keep AI under control.
What Is AI Protection
AI Protection is the security and control layer around an AI system.
Traditional cybersecurity protects computers, networks, applications, and data.
AI Protection addresses a newer problem:
What happens when the system itself can understand instructions, make decisions, use tools, and act autonomously?
We help organizations establish controls around AI models, AI assistants, AI agents, agentic systems, copilots, and AI-powered applications.
Our protection can operate before, during, and after an AI system takes action.
AI Protection can help:
- Control what an AI system can access
- Restrict what an AI agent can do
- Detect suspicious behavior
- Block unauthorized actions
- Protect sensitive information
- Monitor AI activity
- Require human approval for critical actions
- Control AI identity and permissions
- Detect attempts to manipulate AI
- Maintain continuous oversight
Why AI Needs Its Own Protection Layer
AI systems are different from traditional software.
An ordinary application generally follows predefined instructions.
An AI agent can interpret a request, reason about it, select tools, access information, and potentially take actions.
That creates a new security challenge.
For example, an AI employee assistant may have access to:
Email → CRM → Customer data → Documents → Calendar → Internal systems
If that AI is manipulated or makes an incorrect decision, the consequences can extend far beyond an incorrect chatbot answer.
Our approach is simple:
AI should never have more access or authority than it needs.
And when an AI system needs to perform a sensitive action, the appropriate controls should be in place.
Our AI Protection Services
– Runtime AI Guardrails
Runtime guardrails continuously evaluate AI interactions and actions while the system is running.
Instead of waiting until something goes wrong, controls can intervene before an unsafe response or action reaches the outside system.
We can design guardrails around:
- User prompts
- AI responses
- Tool calls
- API requests
- Data access
- Sensitive information
- External communications
- High-risk actions
- Agent-to-agent interactions
Example
An AI sales agent is allowed to create a customer quotation.
But it is not allowed to approve a discount above a defined threshold.
The AI attempts to apply a 40% discount.
The protection layer blocks the action.
The request can then be sent to a human for approval.
AI Agent Monitoring
Know what your AI agents are doing.
AI agents can perform multiple actions across different systems.
Without monitoring, organizations may not have a clear picture of what an agent is doing or why it did it.
Our AI Agent Monitoring approach can track:
- Agent activity
- Tool usage
- API calls
- Data access
- Decisions
- Actions
- Errors
- Suspicious behavior
- Repeated or abnormal activity
- Attempts to bypass restrictions
Monitoring creates greater visibility into autonomous AI systems.
The goal:
Know what your AI is doing before you discover the problem afterward.
Unauthorized Action Prevention
Stop AI from doing what it is not allowed to do.
AI systems should operate within clearly defined permissions.
We help establish action-based controls that determine what an AI system can and cannot perform.
For example:
AI can:
- Read customer information
- Answer customer questions
- Create a draft email
- Schedule a meeting
AI cannot:
- Transfer money
- Delete customer records
- Change administrator permissions
- Send confidential information externally
- Approve a major transaction
When an AI attempts an action outside its authorization, the protection layer can block, pause, or escalate it.
AI Identity & Access Control
Give every AI system the right identity and the right permissions.
AI agents should not operate with unlimited access.
We help organizations establish identity and access controls for AI systems and agents.
This can include:
- AI identities
- Role-based permissions
- Least-privilege access
- System-specific permissions
- API access controls
- Data access restrictions
- Credential protection
- Privileged-action controls
- Separation between AI agents
- Access expiration and revocation
The principle is simple:
If an AI does not need access, it should not have access.
Human Approval & AI Kill Switches
Some decisions should remain under human control.
Not every AI action should happen automatically.
For sensitive or high-impact operations, we can design systems that require human approval before the AI can proceed.
Examples include:
- Financial transactions
- Large discounts
- Contract approval
- Account deletion
- Permission changes
- Sensitive communications
- Access to confidential information
- High-risk operational decisions
Human approval
The AI prepares the action.
A human approves it.
Only then does the system execute it.
Kill Switch
If an AI system behaves unexpectedly, a designated control can immediately suspend its activity or revoke its ability to take further actions.
AI autonomy should always have an emergency stop.
Continuous AI Monitoring
AI protection should not stop after deployment.
AI systems change.
Models change. Prompts change. Tools change. Integrations change. Agents gain new capabilities. Attack techniques evolve.
A security assessment performed once may not provide enough protection for an AI system that operates continuously.
Our Continuous AI Monitoring approach helps organizations maintain visibility over AI systems after deployment.
We can monitor for:
- New security risks
- Suspicious behavior
- Abnormal agent activity
- Policy violations
- Unauthorized access
- Sensitive data exposure
- New attack patterns
- Changes in AI behavior
- Unsafe tool usage
- Emerging vulnerabilities
Example: Protecting an AI Employee
Imagine your company deploys an AI employee that can operate across your business.
It can:
- Answer customers
- Access your CRM
- Prepare quotations
- Send emails
- Search internal documents
- Schedule meetings
- Update customer records
Without proper controls, this creates significant access and operational risk.
With AI Protection:
AI receives a controlled identity.
↓
AI receives only the permissions it needs.
↓
Its actions are monitored.
↓
Sensitive actions are checked against security policies.
↓
Unauthorized actions are blocked.
↓
High-risk actions require human approval.
↓
Emergency controls can suspend the AI if necessary.
This creates a controlled environment where AI can remain useful without having unrestricted authority.
AI Protection + AI Security Testing
AI Protection works best together with AI Security Testing.
Before deploying controls, we can test how an AI system behaves under attack.
We can evaluate potential risks such as:
- Prompt injection
- Jailbreak attempts
- System prompt extraction
- Data leakage
- Manipulation of AI agents
- Unauthorized tool use
- Privilege escalation
- Malicious instructions
- Unsafe autonomous behavior
- Agent-to-agent manipulation
The objective is not simply to discover vulnerabilities.
It is to build protection around them.
Our Approach
Security First
AI should be deployed with security controls from the beginning—not added after an incident.
Least Privilege
AI receives only the access and permissions required for its role.
Human Oversight
High-impact decisions can remain subject to human approval.
Continuous Visibility
Organizations should be able to understand what their AI systems are doing.
Controlled Autonomy
We believe AI autonomy should exist within clearly defined boundaries.
Defense in Depth
No single security control is enough. We combine monitoring, access control, guardrails, testing, and response mechanisms.
