Team & Advisors

Built by One Engineer.
Here Is the Record.

Vendor review asks one question first: have these people done regulated-enterprise work before? Patrick Kelly built CyberArmor.AI end to end, and his record is below, unpadded — then the company structure, what each advisor is consulted on, and what happens if the founder is unavailable. Where the structure has a limitation, we name it.

The Company, Factually

The Answers Third-Party Risk Asks For.

Fields we cannot state as fact are left out rather than guessed at.

Legal entity

CyberArmor.AI is the public brand for CyberArmor AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Registered agent address: 16192 Coastal Highway, Lewes, DE 19958. The entity is verifiable in Delaware's public records.

Structure

Founder-led and founder-built. The platform was built end to end by its founding engineer, so one person holds the full mental model of every service, agent, and enforcement path in it.

Principals

Founder and CEO, a co-founder and COO, one executive board member, and three technical advisors. There are no employees — every principal is equity-based. This page is the complete list.

Control independence

The founder holds the CEO, CTO, and CISO roles. At this size the person who builds the platform also owns its security posture, and that is a control-independence limitation rather than a strength. We state it instead of dressing it up.

What compensates for it

A public capability status page updated when the code changes rather than when marketing wants; a self-hosted deployment path; and a 15-minute local proof-of-concept that runs from a public repo on your own laptop — so your reviewers verify behavior directly instead of taking our attestation for it.

Data handling

In the hosted stack a single hosting subprocessor holds all platform data; no other subprocessor touches it. Self-hosted deployments run the same stack entirely inside your own infrastructure. Full subprocessor list on request at security@cyberarmor.ai.

Key-person continuity

The entire platform runs as standard containers from a versioned deployment definition — no bespoke runtime, no undocumented infrastructure. Documented runbooks cover operational and secrets-path triage procedures. The self-hosted path means you can run the full stack independent of CyberArmor's hosted operation, and source-code escrow can be arranged as part of pilot or production contracting.

Capability claims are separate from people claims. Every capability is labeled production-deployed, pilot-ready, configurable, or roadmap on the public status page, which is updated when the code changes.

Leadership & Board
Patrick Kelly

Patrick Kelly

Founder — CEO, CTO & CISO

Patrick Kelly founded CyberArmor.AI and holds the CEO, CTO, and CISO roles. Before founding the company he spent more than a decade in application, product, cloud, data, and AI security in regulated and high-scale environments — principal and senior application-security architecture roles at Bank of America, United Airlines, Fannie Mae, Berkshire Hathaway, Chubb, and Blackbaud, and solutions-architecture roles at the application-security vendors Contrast Security, Veracode, and ZeroNorth. He has served as CTO and CISO at multiple technology companies and is a named inventor on a U.S. patent.

He built CyberArmor's AI Trust Infrastructure himself, including the URL & Context Trust Gate, which evaluates whether content is safe before it becomes AI context. The platform inspects AI activity, enforces policy, protects sensitive data before it is exposed, and preserves decision-level evidence across users, agents, APIs, models, and data. He is the author of AI Secure Future: A Vision for Safe AI, and built the company from a single conviction: policy must become enforcement, evidence without control is weak, and enterprises cannot wait for a perfect governance program to adopt AI safely.

Currently studying AI and Data Science at Northwestern University.

Technical Advisors

What Each Advisor Is Actually For.

Three advisors, equity-based, none of them employees. One comes from silicon and platform security; two come from the regulated industries this platform is sold into. We list what each one is consulted on rather than implying a bench we do not have.
