Research-grade engineering for secure AI systems and cyber resilience.
Lyfye Labs turns advanced security architecture and applied AI into deployable systems—designed for regulated industries, critical infrastructure, and public sector missions. We build proof-first artifacts, automation, and controls that stand up to scrutiny.
Bench size reflects Lyfye's partner network and on-demand specialist pods assembled per engagement—built for rapid scale without compromising senior oversight.
Where Lyfye Labs pushes the edge
We focus on areas that matter when the environment is regulated, adversarial, or mission-critical—where "best effort" isn't acceptable.
Secure Agentic AI Systems
- Guardrail-by-design agent architectures: tool permissions, data boundaries, and policy enforcement
- Evaluation harnesses for harmful behavior, data leakage, and regression risk
- Audit logging that maps agent actions to controls and business outcomes
Cyber Defense Automation
- Detection engineering + response playbooks engineered for operability
- Signal-to-action pipelines: telemetry → triage → containment workflows
- Threat modeling and abuse-case mapping to mitigations and controls
Zero Trust + Identity-Centric Architecture
- Identity-first segmentation and conditional access patterns
- Least-privilege designs with measurable blast-radius reduction
- Cloud posture hardening aligned to real operating constraints
Privacy + Data Protection Engineering
- Data classification, minimization, and secure retention patterns
- PII/PHI handling playbooks for AI features and pipelines
- Secure prompt and context management (what's allowed, when, and why)
Secure Software Supply Chain
- CI/CD controls: provenance, signing, and build integrity patterns
- Dependency risk management and practical remediation flows
- Release governance that aligns engineering velocity with risk tolerance
Compliance-Grade Evidence Systems
- Control mapping to operational artifacts and automated evidence collection
- Policy + procedure systems that teams actually follow
- Executive risk registers tied to remediation roadmaps and measurable closure
Built for procurement realities, not marketing claims
When pursuing grants or government contracts, trust is demonstrated through artifacts, traceability, and repeatable controls—not vague promises.
Framework-ready engineering
Lyfye Labs designs systems and documentation so they can align to the frameworks that commonly show up in public sector and regulated procurement. We do not claim certifications we haven't earned—our approach is to produce the artifacts that make validation straightforward.
Grant-ready outcomes
Grants and innovation programs often demand measurable outcomes, repeatable methods, and strong governance. We translate R&D into deployment artifacts that reviewers and stakeholders can evaluate quickly.
- Problem statement → threat model → mitigations mapped to controls
- Architecture diagrams, data flows, and decision records (ADR-style)
- Evaluation plans: safety, privacy, robustness, and performance
- Evidence packs: what was built, how it was tested, and how it's governed
- Operational runbooks and handoff materials for long-term sustainment
Production AI fails quietly unless you instrument it
Our safety posture combines evaluation, telemetry, policy, and operational controls so systems can be trusted over time—not just at launch.
Eval suites with measurable pass/fail criteria
Automated evaluation frameworks that test for harmful outputs, policy violations, and data leakage—with regression gates in CI.
Red-team scenarios + replay testing
Adversarial prompts, jailbreak attempts, and abuse-case replays to surface failure modes before production deployment.
Tool-permission boundaries + least-privilege enforcement
Policy-driven tool access controls that prevent agents from executing unsafe operations or accessing unauthorized data.
Audit logging + evidence artifacts
Comprehensive logging that maps agent actions to controls and business outcomes—packaged for compliance and oversight reviews.
Telemetry counters and incident-ready runbooks
Observable metrics for safety violations, data exposure risks, and policy breaches—with playbooks for rapid response.
Continuous safety posture
Systems that degrade safely when boundaries are breached—with kill switches, rate limits, and escalation paths for human review.
Need an AI safety eval stack built for your environment?
We'll design evaluation harnesses, red-team playbooks, and observability patterns tailored to your risk profile.
R&D that ships — not research theater
Lyfye Labs runs like an engineering organization with a security posture: defined gates, peer review, versioned artifacts, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Security gates
Threat modeling, abuse cases, and control mapping happen early—and evolve as the system evolves. Security is a build input, not a release afterthought.
Proof-first artifacts
Every engagement produces forwardable materials: diagrams, risk registers, runbooks, evidence packs, and executive readouts—versioned for handoff and audit scrutiny.
Elastic specialist pods
You don't hire a person—you engage a bench. Pods are assembled per mission: identity, cloud, AppSec, GRC, detection/response, and AI systems engineering.
Want a government/grants-ready capability packet?
We'll respond with a recommended pod, scope outline, and artifact plan tailored to your mission.
