Engineering

How PRESIDIO engineers
for compliant AI.

We build the hardened layer beneath AI systems — libraries, architectures, and assessments for organisations that cannot afford to get this wrong.

Practice areas

What we work on.

AI governance & assessment

Frameworks, audits, and evidence packages for teams that have to demonstrate compliance rather than claim it. Built on the IKI-Gov reference model, with mappings to ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act. Orientation, not a conformity assessment.
Architectural translucency & cloud posture

Replication-layer and replica-count decisions for Docker and Kubernetes workloads, serving and training, from calibrated measurements, with a hash-chained observation store. Continuous cloud-posture audit beside it.
Secure agentic payments

Pre-execution compliance gating for AI agent payments — PII and policy screening before a request is signed, with signed, verifiable evidence. Underlies our x402 work and the live screening API.
Hardened foundations

Web, API, industrial, and embedded libraries — the unglamorous layer under everything above. TLS enforced, timeouts required, audit logs on, defaults that hold up in production.

Method

Standards-first.

We write to published specifications — OWASP ASVS, IEC 62443, x402, OPC UA security profiles. If a specification is wrong for your case, we say so on the record instead of inventing a private alternative.
Auditable evidence.

Every deliverable ships with a reproducible audit. What we claim is what you can verify — with the same inputs, on your own machine.
Runbooks over tribal knowledge.

We write down how to operate what we build. No tribal knowledge transfer, no one-person dependencies, no consulting retainer disguised as documentation gaps.
Open source, by default.

Deliverables ship under open licenses unless there is a specific reason otherwise. Your team inherits the work, not our hours.
