Open Letter from Our CEO

Why Security and IT Need a Control Layer for AI

Dear Security and IT leaders,

AI incidents don’t look like outages. They’re decisions that cross policy lines: a single prompt can trigger data exposure, policy-violating output, or an agent taking an irreversible step. Logs can explain it after the fact, but they don’t prevent it. That’s why enterprises need a control layer for AI, not just observability.

ThirdLaw exists to answer one question in the moment: Is this AI behavior OK? We evaluate every prompt, response, tool call, and agent action against enterprise policy, then block, redact, reroute, or escalate in real time. With ThirdLaw, you can enforce your policy at runtime, with end-to-end incident traces and audit-ready proof of what was enforced.

Sincerely,

Ed Albanese
Founder and CEO, ThirdLaw

Use Cases

The AI Control Layer

Evaluate behavior in context, then intervene when it crosses the line.

Update Policy Without Code

Define policy in plain language and update enforcement without code changes.

Unsafe Output

Prevent prohibited or out-of-scope responses before they reach users.

Acceptable Use

Enforce behavior limits by role, app, and environment.

Runaway Agents

Catch loops and abnormal patterns; throttle or escalate in real time.

Tool Permissions

Allow or deny tools by role, environment, and task context.

Action Approvals

Require human review for exports, deletions, and irreversible changes.

MCP Server Governance

Restrict risky parameters and data flows in tool inputs and outputs.

Agent Chains

Track agent chains and enforce boundaries across delegated steps.

PII Protection

Detect and redact sensitive data in prompts and outputs.

Secrets Protection

Prevent exposure of API keys, tokens, and passwords through AI.

IP Protection

Stop internal documents and proprietary data from being revealed.

RAG and Tool DLP

Apply DLP to retrieval snippets and tool inputs/outputs.

Session Replay

Rebuild timelines across prompts, context, outputs, and actions.

Tool-Call Forensics

Trace which tools were invoked, in what order, and with what data.

Evidence Export

Package findings for incident workflows and reporting.

Root-Cause Analysis

Explain why a violation occurred and what changed (rules, models, tools, context).

No-Code Policy Authoring

Define acceptable behavior in plain language and apply it consistently.

Policy Versioning

Track what changed, who approved it, and when it took effect.

AI Inventory

Discover where AI is used and ensure controls apply consistently.

Third-Party AI Oversight

Apply rules to external models and copilots, and record what they did.

Partner Ecosystem and Recognition:
