Cosa fa Swif.ai

Swif.ai is a real-time device compliance and security platform that keeps every Mac, Windows, and Linux endpoint secure and audit-ready. Our lightweight agent enforces policies (encryption, patching, app controls) as people work, auto-remediates drift, and streams audit evidence to tools like Vanta and Drata. Unlike legacy MDM or “after-the-fact” compliance software, Swif.ai delivers enforcement - not just reports - plus device-level Shadow IT/AI governance to detect and block risky or unauthorized SaaS and LLM tools. Enterprises choose Swif.ai for true multi-OS coverage in a single pane of glass, one-click remediation, and fast time-to-value via silent installers and native integrations with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace (conditional access by device posture). The result is fewer tools to manage, shorter audits, and stronger security with lower operational burden. Swif.ai is SOC 2 Type II. Our near-term roadmap adds Safe-AI controls for regulated industries, AI-agent monitoring, and integrated vulnerability detection with one-click fixes - expanding our lead as the enforcement layer for endpoint compliance and AI security.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a real-time device compliance and security platform that runs a lightweight agent on Mac, Windows, and Linux endpoints. It enforces compliance policies like encryption, patching, and app controls as users work. Unlike legacy MDM or compliance tools that only report issues, Swif.ai enforces policies, auto-remediates drift, and streams audit evidence directly to compliance tools such as Vanta and Drata. We also detect and block risky or unauthorized SaaS and AI tools at the device level, helping enterprises simplify security and compliance management across multiple operating systems.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Sunnyvale, California, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Sunnyvale because it gives us access to the talent and customers in the enterprise security space. Being here helps us stay close to our user base and ecosystem partners.
