Our Story
Third Pillar was founded on a single, urgent belief: enterprises should be able to embrace AI without risking their data, compliance, or reputation.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, our team brings together decades of experience in enterprise security, regulatory compliance, and AI innovation.
We recognize Shadow AI has become an invisible yet powerful threat. Employees eager to boost productivity often turn to unauthorized tools that can move sensitive data outside IT’s control.
Third Pillar exists to solve that problem by giving organizations the ability to adopt AI with confidence and control.
Our Mission
We build the privacy, security, and compliance foundation for the AI-powered enterprise.
Our technology is engineered to be invisible to employees yet powerful for IT and compliance leaders. We enable organizations to unlock AI’s full potential without compromising trust, safety, or autonomy.
Our Values
Privacy First
Every product begins with one guiding principle: sensitive data should never leave the user’s control unprotected.
Autonomy Matters
We believe innovation thrives when employees can use AI tools freely, without friction or fear.
Enterprise-Grade Trust
Compliance is not optional. It is at the core of what we build, from HIPAA to GDPR to FINRA alignment.
Innovation Without Disruption
The best security feels effortless. Our goal is to make protection powerful in impact and invisible in use.
Why Third Pillar
Enterprises should not have to choose between innovation and security. Yet Shadow AI has forced that choice, fueling data breaches, compliance failures, and uncertainty across every industry.
Third Pillar eliminates that compromise.
Our platform combines real-time data redaction with deep visibility and compliance control, protecting sensitive information while allowing teams to stay productive. IT and security leaders gain the confidence and clarity they need, while employees maintain their autonomy.
Built to meet global standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and FINRA, Third Pillar delivers peace of mind and measurable results. This is not another AI overlay. It is the privacy-first foundation for secure, scalable AI adoption.
Echo and Odin are just the beginning.
Together, they represent the next generation of enterprise intelligence that’s secure by design, compliant by default, and ready for the future of AI.
