Mission
Vericto exists so that engineering teams can deploy AI agents over production databases with the same confidence they have when deploying human-reviewed code.
The problem is not AI. The problem is that between the LLM and the database there is no deterministic security layer. Database permissions are fragile. Operation allowlists are naive.
Vericto solves this with math, not more AI.
Vision
By 2026, most SaaS applications will have at least one AI agent with direct or indirect access to a production database. Text-to-SQL, MCP servers, LangChain agents, Vercel AI SDK: all generate unsupervised queries.
Our vision is for Vericto to be the standard security layer for any LLM-to-database pipeline, the same way HTTPS is the standard layer for any web communication. Not optional. Not discretionary.
The database security market will reach $12.8B in 2025 (MarketsandMarkets). The AI-native database access control segment, where Vericto operates, grows 3x YoY in 2025-2026.
Why deterministic AST parsing, not ML
This is the question we get asked most. The short answer: because the problem has an exact solution.
A SQL query is a program. It has a formal grammar, a defined syntax tree, and precise semantics.
An ML model for detecting dangerous queries has three fundamental problems: false positives, stochastic variance, and lack of auditability.
- False negatives: a model trained on historical queries does not know the queries your specific LLM will generate tomorrow.
- Falsos positivos: bloquear queries legítimas en producción es tan catastrófico como dejar pasar queries destructivas.
- Not certifiable: you cannot put "an ML model with 99.2% accuracy" in a SOC2 audit report as what protects your data. You can put "the AST parser deterministically blocks any UPDATE without a WHERE clause".
AST parsing is reproducible, auditable, and produces the same result 100% of the time with the same input. It is math, not statistics.
Values
Precision over coverage
We prefer to do one thing perfectly, block destructive queries with mathematical certainty, than many things with uncertainty. Vericto's scope is deliberately narrow.
Radical transparency
Every block decision includes the exact AST node, the triggered rule, and the suggested safe query. We are not a black box. You can audit every decision we make.
Speed without compromise
Sub-2ms on the critical path is not a marketing goal: it is a design requirement. Security that adds perceptible latency does not get adopted. Security that goes unnoticed does.
Engineers first
Vericto is built by engineers for engineers. Onboarding in <5 minutes, precise technical documentation, and the CI/CD CLI are product decisions, not marketing decisions.
