Introduction to Peridot

Overview

Peridot is the control layer for enterprise AI. It provides visibility, governance, and auditability across all AI usage in your organization.

Modern enterprises use dozens of AI systems—often without centralized oversight. Peridot makes every interaction visible, controllable, and enforceable.

The Problem Peridot Solves

Without centralized control:

  • AI tools are adopted without visibility (shadow AI)

  • Sensitive data may be exposed to external models

  • Policies are inconsistently applied

  • Auditability is fragmented

This creates operational and compliance risk.

What Peridot Does

Peridot provides a unified system to:

  • Discover all AI tools in use

  • Track data flowing into and out of AI systems

  • Enforce policies on model usage and data access

  • Detect and respond to AI-related incidents

  • Maintain a complete audit trail

How Peridot Fits Into Your Stack

Peridot sits between your systems and AI providers:

  • Connects to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)

  • Integrates with SaaS tools and APIs

  • Applies policies before any AI request is executed

It does not replace your systems—it governs them.

Core Workflow

Every AI interaction follows the same lifecycle:

  1. Discovery — Identify AI usage

  2. Monitoring — Track data movement

  3. Governance — Apply policies

  4. Enforcement — Control behavior

  5. Response — Handle incidents

  6. Audit — Record all activity

  • Security teams

  • Cloud and platform teams

  • IT and governance teams
