AI guardrails for AI agents.
UNCODE sets up AI guardrails for business: runtime checks on every prompt and every answer, while agents work.
Two checkpoints
Checked on the way in and the way out.
- PromptSummarise invoice INV-20418
- Inspect promptInjection check passed

Checkpoints
What each checkpoint does.
- Prompt inspectionInjection and manipulation caught before the model.
- Response validationChecked before it reaches people or systems.
- Sensitive data maskingRegulated data detected and masked.
- Content policiesThresholds set to your standards.
Runtime protection
Four layers of runtime protection.
AI guardrails are automatic checks on what an AI agent is asked and what it answers, applied while it works. UNCODE, an Adelaide AI consultancy, sets up, tests and runs them in four layers: prompt protection, output safety, grounded answers and human review. Protect inputs. Check outputs. Bring people in where it matters: high-risk actions go to a named person before they happen.
- Prompt protectionInjection, jailbreaks, manipulation. Jailbreak blocked.
- Output safetySensitive data, bias, toxicity. Tax file number removed.
- Grounded answersClaims checked against approved sources. Unsupported claim flagged.
- Human reviewHigh-risk actions go to a person before they happen. Sent to finance lead.
Questions about guardrails.
What do AI guardrails do?
They check what an agent is doing while it works. They can block an injection attempt, mask sensitive data or stop an output that breaks your policy.
Can a guardrail stop staff pasting sensitive data into AI?
Guardrails detect and mask regulated data before it reaches a model. Approved tools also give staff a safe place to work.
Do guardrails replace human approval?
No. Guardrails apply checks automatically. Approval is a separate step where a person decides before anything consequential happens.
Does UNCODE hold a certification for these controls?
No. UNCODE designs, configures and tests the controls. Certifications belong to the platforms we deliver on, which publish their own, and compliance stays with your organisation.
Check every prompt and every answer.
Protect inputs. Check outputs. Bring people into decisions that need oversight, wherever you are.
