## Executive Summary

Amazon Web Services builds Bedrock Guardrails into the Bedrock model-invocation path, so any team already on Bedrock turns on filtering for harmful content, PII, hallucinations, and prompt injection without adding a separate product. That native placement is the real advantage, one independent screening vendors cannot match by writing software. It is also the limit. AWS grades its own safety numbers, advertising up to 88% harmful-content blocking and 99% accuracy that no neutral test confirms, and outside researchers have found holes: a disclosed trick slipped past the sensitive-information filter to pull out PII, which AWS called expected behavior, not a flaw. For a buyer committed to Bedrock the convenience is real. For one spanning clouds and weighing detection quality, less so.
