Enkrypt AI Guardrails review
Broad runtime controls for teams securing production AI systems.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Enkrypt AI Guardrails is a runtime security layer for AI agents and applications. It evaluates inputs, retrieval content, tool calls, MCP traffic, and outputs, then can allow, modify, block, or escalate activity under configured policies. Its coverage suits teams operating production AI systems that need controls for prompt injection, jailbreaks, unsafe tool actions, sensitive-data leakage, and compliance risks across cloud or self-hosted deployments.
The plan structure scales from evaluation to enterprise operations. Explore is free at $0 per month with security guardrails, risk dashboards, full API access, basic red team testing, and community support. Launch costs $149 per month when billed monthly or $134 per month when billed annually, adding compliance with OWASP, NIST, and the EU AI Act, custom policy guardrails, MCP Server Scanning, PII detection and masking, audit logs, data export, and email support. Scale costs $1,499 monthly or $1,349 monthly with annual billing, adding multimodal red teaming and guardrails, an MCP Gateway and Registry, compliance audit reports, SSO authentication, and CI/CD release gating. Enterprise adds RBAC, VPC or on-premises deployment, unlimited usage for VPC, SIEM and identity integrations, custom data retention, and custom SLAs.
The standout strength is breadth: runtime input filtering, prompt-injection defense, jailbreak detection, PII redaction, RAG source and chunk filtering, tool-call approval and least-privilege controls, MCP Gateway enforcement, and multimodal text, image, and audio policy enforcement sit within one product. Integrations include LLM platforms, AI agents and orchestrators, MCP, Okta, Azure AD, custom JWT claims, SIEM, ticketing systems, Slack, and Teams. Teams seeking broad production coverage should consider it; organizations needing only a narrow single-control tool may find its tiered scope and enterprise-oriented options more than they need.
