About Vantio
Autonomy and control
shouldn't be a trade-off.
AI agents are the biggest shift in how software gets work done since the cloud. But most of them are stuck in pilots, because nobody can promise what an autonomous system will and won't do — and businesses can't bet their customers, their money, or their regulator relationships on hope.
Vantio exists to break that trade-off: give agents real freedom to act, and give the people responsible for them real control — enforced, not promised, and provable to anyone who asks.
What we believe
Enforce where it runs
Alerts after the fact aren't governance. We stop the off-policy action where the agent runs — in the SDK, or in the kernel — before anything leaves your environment. Protection you don't have to hope about.
Never read the data
A governance layer shouldn't be a second data risk. Vantio records that an action happened — never what was said. Prompts and completions are excluded from our systems by architecture, not by promise.
Prove, don't promise
Trust claims are cheap. Every decision Vantio makes is sealed into a tamper-proof, independently verifiable record — and our SDK is open source, so you can read exactly what runs in your stack.
How we build
Open source at the core
The Vantio SDK and CLI are MIT-licensed and public on GitHub. The code that runs inside your stack is code you can read.
A verifiable supply chain
Our release pipeline attests build provenance (SLSA) and records it in a public transparency log, so you can verify that what's on npm is what came from our repo.
Engineering in the open
We publish field notes on what agents actually do in production — costs, failure modes, security — in The Brief.
Built for the deepest requirements
From a free SDK to eBPF enforcement in the Linux kernel, the architecture is public and documented.
The company
Vantio AI, Inc. is a Delaware C-Corporation building the governance layer for autonomous AI agents — from a free, open-source SDK for individual developers to kernel-level enforcement for the most regulated industries. We're structured for Fortune 500 procurement and vendor-risk requirements from day one.
