Firewall that controls access to information across AI and humans
The OS for data quality across any stack
Velum is an open-source firewall for content-level access control across documents, databases, and applications. Admins define policies, and we apply them in real time across your entire stack to control what each recipient sees. Our firewall sits between your data sources and consumers (LLMs, users, vendors), enforcing policies on every request. We understand meaning in text, documents, and databases to detect sensitive information based on your policies, then apply recipient-specific controls without blocking workflows. Create policies in natural language. Teams write rules that define what's sensitive and who should access it, and Velum enforces them consistently across all systems. When authorization changes, we can reveal tokenized data just-in-time for approved recipients, maintaining both security and utility. We integrate directly into your existing infrastructure. For AI workflows, we intercept prompts, responses, and retrievals to prevent sensitive information from leaking into or out of models. For enterprise systems like Salesforce, SAP, or Workday, we extend policy enforcement to exports, reports, and syncs. Velum is designed for scale and compliance. We provide encryption and structure-preserving tokenization for high-throughput pipelines, with multi-cloud deployment options and configurable data residency per tenant to meet your compliance requirements.
Velum is the operating system for data quality. We observe real data traffic to automatically derive contracts, trace lineage across any stack, and enforce integrity from ingestion to executive dashboards - no manual rules, no migration required. Data trust you can prove. From the pipeline to the boardroom.
Velum Labs changed from an access control firewall for sensitive data (information security) to a data quality operating system (data engineering and integrity). The product, problem, and market are fundamentally different.
