The difference

Don't let AI dictate your work.

The same authorized task, two models. One lectures you and stops. The other checks the engagement, gets to work, and hands you findings.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who can use Toughnut AI?

Toughnut AI is available to verified cybersecurity firms, consultants and internal security teams. Every organization is vetted before access is granted, and the platform is intended solely for authorized, defensive security work.

How do you prevent misuse?

Access is gated to verified organizations, and every engagement runs under per-engagement scope controls, human approval gates and immutable audit logs. That combination keeps activity tied to a documented, authorized mandate — and reviewable after the fact.

How does deployment work?

Choose shared cloud for setup in minutes, or on-prem to deploy inside your own infrastructure with air-gapped and disconnected modes. Both options run the same models, controls and audit logging.

Is my data secure?

Data is EU-hosted and encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't train on your data, and private VPC or on-prem deployments are available for teams with strict data residency requirements.

Do findings require human approval?

Yes. You decide which actions need sign-off — and critical actions and report publication can be held behind reviewer approval, so a person stays in control of what ships.
