More about us

Mayhem Shield is an independent, buyer-side assurance practice for enterprise AI deployments. When an organization is preparing to approve an AI tool for production, a coding assistant, a RAG pipeline, an agentic system, its approval forums need evidence of how the implementation will actually operate in that environment, not a vendor marketing pack. That evidence is what we produce.

We do not sell, implement, or operate the AI products we review. We are paid only by the buyer, never by the vendor. That separation is the product: it is what makes our findings defensible in front of security, architecture, risk, and audit stakeholders.

How we work

Structured, repeatable review logic. Phases, evidence rules, severity calibration, and gate criteria are defined in advance, not invented per engagement. The methodology is published and inspectable on GitHub without a sales call.
Grounded in your environment. Findings are tested against your identities, data paths, integrations, and workflows as actually deployed, not against the vendor's reference architecture.
Decision-ready outputs. Every engagement ends in a written position: go, conditional go, or no-go, with a traceable findings register, evidence requests, and conditions tied to POC, pilot, and production gates.

Core capabilities

AI implementation assurance reviews. Fixed-structure packages from a two-week rapid readiness review of one tool through a portfolio program covering three or more tools under one assurance standard.
Architecture and trust-boundary analysis. Deployment model, data flow, identity, and integration scope for AI systems, documented in formats governance forums already recognize.
AI vendor claim verification. Assessment of whether a vendor's published security and data-handling claims are checkable, contractual-only, or unverifiable, before those claims underwrite an approval.
Security and governance advisory. Buyer-side support for AI review boards, evidence standards, and approval gate design.

We maintain relationships with major cloud and technology providers for market and technical visibility. Because our work is buyer-side assurance, we take no resale margin or implementation fees from any vendor, and any relationship relevant to a specific review is disclosed to the client at scoping.

Our commitment

Approvers carry personal and organizational risk when they sign off on an AI deployment. Our job is to make sure they sign with evidence in hand. For more information, visit www.mayhemshield.com or contact us at info@mayhemshield.com.
