About Pacific AI Labs

Security, privacy & governance for the age of AI-written code.

We build the layer that checks what AI produces — before it runs. We started because the vulnerabilities AI ships are the oldest, most preventable ones, and the reviewer who used to catch them is gone.

How we build

Using AI to build a security tool only helps if the way they work together is disciplined. Ours runs on a few hard rules:

That's governance, not just security: who may decide, what's recorded, what's auditable — and a single accountable human holding the final yes. Independent review by these models found four bypass classes our own testing missed; all are fixed and kept as permanent tests.

"It started with a YouTube tutorial. I downloaded an AI 'skill' and found hidden Russian text buried inside it — and realized how easily a skill can carry something unsafe. So I set out to build the opposite: skills you can actually trust."

Her philosophy runs through everything here: AI can build fast, but a human decides what ships — and nothing ships unchecked.

Let’s build with AI, safely.
