How we work
Easy to engage. Easy to scale.
Vetting, contracts and delivery, engineered to raise your team’s velocity and cut your overhead.
Vetted Senior Talent
We accept the top 1% of engineers, so you only work with proven talent.
Every engineer is assessed on technical depth, problem-solving and communication before joining a client team. Our engineers average eight to ten years of hands-on experience, so they contribute from the first sprint instead of learning on your budget.
Timezone-Aligned Management
Product and project managers in your time zone, wherever your engineers are.
Our client engagement team is distributed globally. You get a product or project manager who works your hours, joins your meetings live and keeps delivery moving across time zones, so nothing waits overnight for an answer.
AI-Native Engineering
Engineers who build with AI, and build AI into your product.
Our teams use AI tooling across design, coding, testing and documentation to ship faster, and they have production experience with LLM applications, machine learning and MLOps. You get AI capability inside the team rather than from a separate vendor.
Full-Stack Capabilities
One team, from roadmap to production support.
Strategy, product engineering, cloud, data, AI and QA under one roof, across eight practice areas. The people who plan your architecture are the same people who build, ship and run it.
Scalable Teams
Start with one engineer. Grow to several teams.
Add or reduce capacity as your roadmap changes, and move between staff augmentation, dedicated teams and outsourcing without changing partner. We handle hiring, onboarding and replacements.
Standard MSAs & SOWs
Clear paperwork, so work starts sooner.
We work under a master services agreement with a statement of work for each engagement, so scope, responsibilities and terms are written down before anything starts. Adding a team or a project means a new SOW, not a new negotiation.
NDAs & IP Protection
Everything we build belongs to you.
NDAs are signed before any access is given, and IP assignment is part of every contract in every engagement model. Your code, models and data stay yours.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Security handled. Compliance built in.
Engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work.
Managed Delivery
We manage delivery, quality and people.
Team leads run sprints, demos and reporting; we handle retention, performance and handovers. You set direction and see progress in the open, without managing every engineer.
Engagement models
Delivered on your terms.
Cybersecurity is available through any of our three engagement models.
Staff Augmentation
A few engineers join your team. You lead the work; we handle hiring and HR.

Cybersecurity. Answered.
What does AIGard’s Cybersecurity service include?
AIGard protects your applications, data and infrastructure by building security into how software is designed, shipped and run. We cover identity, encryption, scanning and monitoring.
The work typically covers:
- Security architecture review
- Identity and access management
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Secure development lifecycle and code scanning
- Cloud and container security
- Compliance alignment
When is Cybersecurity the right investment?
Cybersecurity is usually the right investment in one or more of these situations:
- A customer or auditor is asking security questions
- You're moving sensitive data to the cloud
- Security checks happen only at the end
- AI systems need access controls and guardrails
On a 30-minute scoping call we confirm whether it fits your case and recommend a team shape and first milestones.
Which security standards does AIGard align to?
AIGard aligns security work to ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, depending on your industry.
Compliance alignment is one part of our cybersecurity work, alongside identity and access management, encryption, code scanning and monitoring. During scoping we establish which standards apply to you, so that controls are designed around the questions your customers and auditors are asking.
Can AIGard help us prepare for a security audit?
Yes, AIGard helps companies prepare for a security audit. We review controls, close gaps and document evidence.
Preparation typically begins with a security architecture review that compares existing controls with what the auditor or customer is asking about. Our engineers then address the gaps, in areas such as access management, encryption and code scanning, and document the evidence.
Can AIGard work within our cloud environment and security policies?
Yes. Engineers work inside your cloud accounts under least-privilege access, following your access policies.
Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA.
How does AIGard reduce risk during infrastructure change?
By agreeing security and reliability requirements up front, automating delivery, and checking each change before release.
Code reviews, dependency checks and secure credential handling are part of the development process, and changes are released in controlled steps rather than in one cutover where that is avoidable.
Which technologies does AIGard use for Cybersecurity?
For Cybersecurity, AIGard engineers typically work with Okta, Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and Terraform.
The stack is selected to fit the systems you already run, and engineers are matched to it before they join.
How is Cybersecurity delivered?
Cybersecurity is available through any of AIGard’s three engagement models: staff augmentation, where engineers join your team; a dedicated team that runs the workstream; or software outsourcing, where AIGard delivers a defined project.
The choice depends on how much of the delivery you want to manage, and it can change later under the same agreement.
How quickly can AIGard engineers start?
Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.
We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.
How much does it cost to work with AIGard?
AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.
The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.
How does AIGard protect our data and systems?
NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.
Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.
Who owns the code, models and intellectual property?
You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.
That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.
