QL Security

QL Security is a UK-based AI Security partner dedicated to helping mid-sized organizations in regulated sectors manage their AI risks. We collaborate with NHS trusts, local authorities, and professional services firms to evaluate risk exposure, implement effective controls, and ensure the ongoing security and compliance of AI systems. Founded in 2026, we recognized a market need for organizations rapidly adopting AI tools but lacking the necessary governance, visibility, and technical controls to mitigate associated risks. Unlike many providers who focus on frameworks and reports, we focus on delivering tangible controls that are configured, tested, and operational in your environment. Our services concentrate on three main areas. First, we perform Shadow AI discovery, which provides organizations visibility into the AI tools currently in use, including unauthorized applications and data flows that existing security measures may overlook. Second, we implement guardrails for large language models (LLMs), establishing controls for inputs and outputs, defenses against prompt injection, and behavioral monitoring. Finally, we assist in developing AI governance programs to help boards and security teams create the necessary policies, risk frameworks, and audit trails mandated by the UK AI Act, Digital Security & Privacy Toolkit (DSPT), and upcoming public sector AI standards. As an AI Security partner rather than merely a consultancy, we emphasize implementation outcomes over report generation. Our clients benefit from functional controls and verifiable assurance documentation. QL Security is certified under Cyber Essentials and operates in accordance with ISO 27001 standards. We are well-acquainted with the procurement, compliance, and risk landscapes of regulated sectors in the UK, and we tailor our services accordingly.
