AI security has moved beyond
prompt filtering.

AI systems now call tools, retrieve data, persist instructions, execute workflows, and act across enterprise systems. Compare RAGuard with leading platforms to see where governed AI execution begins.

MCP governance Action mediation Tenant policy Audit evidence
Market layers
RAGuard Runtime governance and agent integrity

Controls trusted instructions, context access, tool execution, and audit evidence once AI systems start taking action.

Prompt defence Lakera / Prompt Shields

Protect prompts, documents, and model interactions before or during generation.

Gateway infrastructure Portkey

Routes traffic, manages providers, and gives engineering teams observability and fallback.

Lifecycle security Protect AI

Secures models, datasets, registries, pipelines, and enterprise AI asset posture.

Discovery and testing Gray Swan / Akto

Finds adversarial weaknesses and agentic exposure before the production runtime takes over.

instruction provenance workflow guardrails tool permissions runtime assurance
Market Map

Most AI security tools solve a different layer.

RAGuard focuses on runtime governance: what an AI system is allowed to do, in this context, for this tenant, with this tool, using this instruction.

Prompt and content protection

Detecting prompt injections, jailbreaks, unsafe content, and data leakage before they influence model behaviour.

Gateway infrastructure

Routing model traffic, observing requests, managing providers, and controlling cost and reliability.

AI/ML lifecycle security

Securing models, datasets, pipelines, registries, and AI assets across the broader MLSecOps estate.

Red teaming and evaluation

Discovering how models and agentic systems can be manipulated before or outside production runtime.

Core Matrix

Where RAGuard fits.

Platform Primary Layer Strongest Fit RAGuard Difference
Lakera Prompt defence Prompt injection, jailbreaks, unsafe interactions Governs agent actions, tool calls, and runtime policy
Portkey AI gateway Routing, observability, reliability, cost control Adds governance and trust enforcement above infrastructure
Protect AI MLSecOps Lifecycle AI and ML security Focuses on production agent behaviour and runtime controls
Microsoft Prompt Shields Cloud-native prompt protection Azure AI prompt and document attack detection Vendor-neutral and action-oriented across clouds and tools
Gray Swan AI Red teaming Adversarial testing and attack discovery Enforces policy continuously in production
Akto API and agent exposure API discovery, testing, MCP and agent posture Governs permissions and runtime execution
Why RAGuard

Govern actions, not just prompts.

Secure MCP and tool-calling workflows

RAGuard mediates API access, tool execution, retrieved context, and runtime workflow decisions with tenant-aware policies.

Control stateful AI risk

Agentic threats often emerge across memory, retrieved content, tool output, and multi-step execution rather than one turn at a time.

Preserve instruction provenance

Determine whether an instruction came from a trusted user, policy, retrieved document, memory artefact, or untrusted source.

Produce governance evidence

Turn AI governance into enforceable runtime controls with records that support audits, assurance reviews, and internal policy checks.
