"Vys brought a level of youth safety expertise to our red teaming process that we couldn't have replicated internally. They identified edge cases and failure modes that directly improved how we built and tested our product."
Product Lead, AI Lab
"Vys helped us turn a complex regulatory challenge into a clear, actionable plan. Our legal and product teams came away aligned and confident — which is not always easy to achieve."
General Counsel, Global Gaming Company
"Working with Vys on red teaming gave us confidence that our product had been genuinely pressure-tested for younger users, not just checked against a standard list. That matters to us, and it matters to our partners."
Founder, AI Startup
"As a young company, we needed expert support without the overhead of a large consultancy. Our Vys consultants embedded with our team quickly, understood our constraints, and gave us exactly the guidance we needed to build responsibly from the start."
Founder, Early-Stage Edtech Startup
"Our Vys consultant understood our business and our users from day one. They helped us build a youth safety strategy that worked for our product team and our compliance obligations at the same time."
Head of Policy, Consumer Social Platform
"What sets Vys consultants apart is that they think like product people and policy people simultaneously. Their risk mapping directly shaped our roadmap in ways that made us faster, not slower."
