Shadow AI
Staff paste sensitive data into tools nobody approved, because the approved path doesn't exist yet.
Secure AI integration
Let AI in. Keep everything else out.
Embrasure helps mid-size companies and enterprise teams adopt AI the right way: strategy, automation and custom builds, integrated with the systems you already run and secured from the first design review.
- 10+ years of government experience
- Security designed in, not bolted on
- Built for mid-size and enterprise
em·bra·sure
A deliberate opening in a fortified wall, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, so defenders can see and act while exposing almost nothing.
That's the job. We give AI a narrow, deliberate path into your organization: one you designed, one you control, and one you can audit.
The problem
Most AI rollouts break at the seams.
The model is rarely the hard part. Trouble starts where AI meets your people, your data and your systems.
Pilots that never ship
Demos impress, then stall, because they were never connected to real systems, real data and real permissions.
Integrations bolted on
Tools wired in with broad access and no audit trail quietly become your newest attack surface.
Services
Three ways we help.
Every engagement is built around the same rule: integrate with what you already run, and design for security before anything ships.
01
AI strategy & roadmap
Know where AI fits, and where it doesn't, before you spend.
- Use-case discovery and prioritization
- Data readiness and risk assessment
- Vendor and model selection
- AI governance and acceptable-use policy
- A phased, budgeted roadmap
02
Automation & AI agents
Take repetitive work off your team's plate, with guardrails.
- Workflow automation across your existing tools
- Agents with least-privilege access
- Human approval for high-impact actions
- Logging, monitoring and evaluation
- Clear measures of time saved
03
Custom AI builds
Internal tools built to your standards, in your environment.
- Assistants grounded in your own documents
- Integration with identity, data and systems of record
- Deployment in your cloud or tenant
- Testing against prompt injection and data leakage
- Documentation and a clean handoff
Security
Security is the design, not a phase.
AI adds new ways for things to go wrong. These principles go into every system we plan or build.
/01
Least privilege
Every model, agent and integration gets only the access it needs, and nothing more.
/02
Known data flows
You know what data goes where, how long it's kept and who can see it.
/03
AI-specific threat modeling
Prompt injection, data exfiltration, over-permissioned agents and risky third-party plugins, planned for up front.
/04
Identity-integrated
Single sign-on, role-based access and the permissions you already manage. No shared keys.
/05
Auditable by default
Logs and decision records your security team and auditors can actually follow.
/06
Framework-aligned
Mapped to standards you already answer to, such as the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Approach
Four steps, no surprises.
Small, reviewable increments, with your security and IT teams in the loop from the first conversation.
-
Assess
Map your systems, data and risk tolerance, and find the few use cases worth doing first.
-
Design
Architecture, access model and governance, reviewed with your security team before anything is built.
-
Build
Ship in small increments, connected to your real systems and tested against real threats.
-
Hand off
Documentation, training and runbooks, so your team owns what we built together.
10+
years of government experience
Experience
Government discipline. Private-sector pace.
Embrasure is built on more than a decade of work in government, where security reviews, compliance and public accountability come with the job.
We bring that discipline to organizations that need AI to move quickly without cutting corners: the hard questions asked early, decisions written down, and systems built to hold up under scrutiny.
For mid-size companies
Serious about AI, without an AI team.
We help you choose the right first projects, then build them so they last and your people can run them.
For enterprise teams
Many systems, real obligations.
We design AI that fits inside your security reviews and compliance requirements, working alongside your security and IT teams.
