DEBO
Why governance

The incidents made headlines. The laws made deadlines.

This is what happens when company data meets ungoverned AI — and how DEBO is built so it doesn't happen to you.

It already happened
Samsung · 2023

Source code, pasted into a chatbot

Engineers pasted semiconductor source code and internal meeting notes into ChatGPT. Samsung banned public AI tools internally. The code couldn't be un-sent.

"Discoverable" meant indexed by Google

Thousands of ChatGPT conversations shared with "make this chat discoverable" were indexed by Google — including personal and business details most users never meant to publish. The feature was removed after coverage.

The chatbot invented a policy

Its support chatbot invented a bereavement-refund policy. The tribunal held the airline liable for what its AI said — the company, not the model, pays for the answer.

How DEBO secures you

One gateway

Every AI call passes one audited door; nothing side-steps it.

Structure only crosses

Never rows, never names — the model sees the shape, not the values.

k-row certified aggregates

A figure crosses only as code-computed math over groups — never one person.

Leak check before every send

Dictionary, sniffer and roster checks on the serialized payload.

Consent before any write

Permission first, plain words, named rows — nothing moves silently.

Every decision audited

Receipts and logs a regulator can read.

Never crosses
  • rows
  • names
  • salaries
  • one person's figure
Crosses — checked
  • structure
  • certified aggregates over k rows
  • receipts

The law stopped waiting.
Your AI shouldn't either.
