## Executive Summary

Guardion AI sells a runtime security layer for AI agents: an inline gateway and its own guardrail model that block prompt-injection attacks and strip sensitive data from what agents send and receive. The big cloud AI platforms now ship overlapping guardrail controls, and Guardion's own benchmark compares it against third-party guardrails and open-source models (s2, s6). Its distinct attributes in the record: a team with Apple and Nubank experience, a guardrail model trained across eight-plus languages (s2) with no per-language competitor benchmark, and a seat in Brazil's ANPD regulatory sandbox. Its named customers are still private and its headline benchmark is its own, so the regional regulatory foothold, more than the guardrail, is what a buyer can weigh today.
