Objective metrics, no spin.
Every engineering team shipping code — especially critical when using AI code generators that can introduce vulnerabilities at scale.
Security audits of existing legacy systems — specialized SAST tools like Semgrep or Checkmarx may be more appropriate.
Production LLM apps in regulated industries; AI agent products with elevated abuse risk (browser agents, code execution); enterprise rollouts requiring documented AI safety controls.
Internal-only LLM use with low-stakes outputs; experimentation phase before product-market fit; teams committed to building guardrails in-house.
