Secure AI Enablement
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes central to driving business innovation, ensuring that AI systems are developed, consumed, and deployed securely is essential.
Compliance and regulation is quickly changing, as are the risks associated with third party tools and AI-enabled features. Sidekick helps organizations build and integrate AI solutions without compromising on security, privacy, or compliance.
Whether you’re building AI-powered applications, leveraging machine learning models, or working with third-party AI vendors, we ensure your initiatives are secure from design to deployment.

Benefits of Proactive AI Security
With a field as fast-moving as AI, you can’t afford to be reactive. Shifting into a proactive AI security posture ensures that potential risks are identified and mitigated before they can impact your environment. This spans custom model development, ML ops pipelines, data environments, and third party services leveraging AI features.
Our proactive security measures also help you stay compliant with evolving regulations and industry standards, minimizing the risk of future disruptions. The more you invest up front, the faster your organization can innovate and disrupt.
What Your Sidekick Looks Like
Compliance Aware
Regulations in the AI space are still in their early days, but a high level of scrutiny is already apparent. We keep track to ensure your AI innovations are future-proofed.
Security As An Asset
We’re not the people who always say “No.” With Sidekick, security becomes a positive force for safe, speedy, scalable growth as you explore the opportunities AI brings.
Proactive
AI is not a field in which you can “move fast and break things.” We’ll make sure you can move fast while maintaining the highest standards of security and responsibility.
Never Standing Still
AI is evolving fast, and so are the threat actors who leverage it or attack its use. We stay on top of this demanding threat landscape to ensure your business is always at the cutting edge of protection.
Actionable Reporting
Information and assessments are good, but actionable analysis is even better, especially when you’re innovating in truly new ways. With us, you always know what step comes next.
