For mid-market fintech

Use AI faster. Keep the evidence.

Balteus is a real-time AI enabler: visibility and explainable allow / block on AI traffic, so your firm can adopt AI without betting the franchise on a policy PDF.

Built for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs, cybersecurity), Heads of AI, Chief Technology Officers (CTOs, technology), and risk owners who must answer the board when Shadow AI, copilots, and agents touch customer data.

Checklists ignore the copy / paste

Policy decks and approved-tool lists fail when the risk is an HTTPS session to a personal AI account - or an agent that acts without a ticket.

Shadow AI

Employees paste customer data into unsanctioned chatbots. Often no SOC (Security Operations Center) alert, no ticket, and a ban that kills competitive speed.

Approved AI

Enterprise seats for copilots and chat are not a control plane. Licensed tools still move sensitive content through prompts and connected systems.

Agents and knowledge

Agents and retrieval systems turn leak risk into wrong action or wrong answer - credit, support, and compliance workflows included.

Control where the bytes move

Balteus sits on the path of AI traffic (where your topology allows), surfaces destinations and intent, and produces allow / block decisions with reasons your auditors can read.

What buyers get

  • Governed enablement instead of blanket bans
  • Explainable decisions mapped to policy - not black-box noise
  • A phased path: fit, visibility, policy, then enforcement where possible
  • Evidence useful for board, risk, and insurance conversations

What this is not

  • Not another browser extension that VPN and mobile bypass
  • Not a long suite program before first proof
  • Not an API-only tool blind to Shadow destinations
  • Not a request to rip out your existing stack on day one
How the approach works

Built for the people who own the decision

Mid-market fintech purchases stall when AI risk, security, and technology disagree. Balteus is framed for the seats that unblock that conversation.

Stakeholder What is at stake What changes
CEO / Board Speed vs reputational catastrophe Enable AI without invisible franchise risk
CFO / Risk Unpriced exposure; insurance renewals A paid pilot sized to prove value before a large commitment
CRO / Compliance Audit findings; regulatory scrutiny Deterministic decisions tied to policy language
CISO / CTO / Head of AI Shadow AI, agent sprawl, tool fatigue One surface for visibility and explainable control

Sales blockers we remove early

Early conversations die on process fear, not feature checklists. The program is designed around those objections.

"We cannot do a big project"

Paid pilot, not a multi-year enterprise suite. Topology fit first. Kill early if there is no usable path.

"Security will block anything new"

Evidence and reason codes first. Enforcement only where the path and change windows allow - not day-one rip and replace.

"Who owns AI risk here?"

Fit calls expect a technical sponsor and an executive sponsor. We help frame the shared narrative for both seats.

Design partners

Three slots. Founder-led. Measurable proof.

Partners get early access, influence on how evidence and benchmarks are shaped for fintech, and a path to production pricing aligned with AI adoption - not a ticket in a vendor queue.
