Trusted Cyber Security & AI Governance Partner

Protecting your AI systems: cyber security and AI governance for enterprises

Most companies are already running more AI than they can name. We find it, tell you which of it actually matters, hold the risky parts at the door, and leave you with evidence a regulator will accept, working through the identity, cloud and GRC tools you already pay for, not another console to babysit.

Born from maritime

Forged where failure isn't an option, built for every enterprise

Solas began securing vessels and port systems, OT and IT environments where a single failure can halt operations or endanger lives. We bring that same discipline to enterprises across the GCC.

From maritime ports to enterprises worldwide. Drag to explore.

Mission

To safeguard industries from evolving cyber threats through practitioner-led security and AI governance.

Vision

A resilient digital future, with security at sea and shore for organisations across the Middle East and Asia.

Values

Integrity, innovation, and relentless protection.

Approach

Proactive, adaptive, and human-centered security.

Where to start

Two pillars. One record between them.

Your security team lives in the first. Your auditor lives in the second. They read the same four steps, so nobody spends a week reconciling two versions of what happened, and governance turns into the thing that lets you say yes faster.

Pillar 01 · AI Security

Find the AI you never approved

Shadow tools, agents, third-party AI and OAuth grants, surfaced through the identity provider you already run. Nothing to install. Then a gate on what ships, so the next model reaches production with a decision attached.

Pillar 02 · Audit & Assurance

Walk into the audit with the answer

Every finding tied to the control it touches, and the whole sequence written to a hash-chained log with a signed head, so an auditor can verify after the fact that nothing was edited. Evidence you produce, not evidence you assemble the week before.

The boundary

We go on top of your stack. Nothing gets ripped out.

You already bought the identity, network, endpoint and record tools. We read from them, decide, and hand the decision back. And we are direct about where that stops.

How we work

Four steps. One chain.

The chain

Each step hands its output to the next. Discovery feeds the risk finding, the finding feeds the release decision, the decision lands on the record. Break the chain anywhere and what is left at the end stops being evidence.

Precisely what that gives you, and what it does not

A continuous, tamper-evident audit trail across the four steps, plus inline enforcement for the AI traffic routed through the gateway.

Scanning across the rest of your estate is on-demand rather than always-on.

How exposed is your AI, really?

Answer eight questions and watch your risk profile build in real time. Get an indicative band, the regulatory frameworks that likely reach you, from the EU AI Act and GDPR to UAE PDPL and ISO 42001, and your prioritised next steps. No email required.
