What today looks like.

Due diligence on the target's codebase is taking 8 weeks and three external firms.

License risk surfaced *after* the LOI. GPL contamination is now your problem.

Nobody on the deal team can answer "what AI models is the target shipping" in writing.

How Safeguard solves it.

AI-native and traditional, working together.

AI-Native

Griffin reads the target's stack

Point Griffin at the target's repos under NDA. It produces a reachable-CVE inventory, license-risk map, AI-BOM, and an exposure scorecard your deal team can hand to the IC.

Traditional

Auditable, defensible artifacts

Every finding ships with a CycloneDX SBOM, supplier graph, and signed scan log — so when the integration team takes over post-close, they inherit a complete record.
