About GuardRail
GuardRail represents a new approach to browser security, combining the best of local and cloud protection to keep your organization safe without compromising privacy.
Our Mission
We believe browser security shouldn’t require choosing between protection and privacy. GuardRail delivers enterprise-grade threat detection while respecting your data sovereignty.
How GuardRail Works
🛡️ Hybrid Processing: Smart Protection That Respects Privacy
GuardRail uses an intelligent two-layer approach to maximize both security and privacy:
Layer 1 – Local AI Detection
Every URL is first analyzed by our ML model running directly in your browser. This catches most threats instantly, without any data leaving your device.
Layer 2 – Selective Cloud Verification
Only when the local AI encounters an unknown or suspicious URL is minimal data sent to our secure servers for deeper analysis. We only transmit the URL itself – never your browsing history, cookies, or personal data.
Privacy-First Architecture
- Minimal Data Transmission: Only URLs flagged as potentially risky are sent for cloud analysis
- No Tracking: We don’t store browsing history or create user profiles
- Transparent Processing: You always know when and why data is being analyzed
- Local-First Detection: The majority of URL checks happen entirely on your device

Why Choose GuardRail?
The Best of Both Worlds
Most browser security solutions force you to choose: either send all your browsing data to the cloud, or rely on outdated local blocklists. GuardRail’s hybrid approach delivers superior protection while respecting your privacy.
