AI governance and cybersecurity consultancy — privacy in America is already dead, and Optimal IT helps companies build AI tools with real guardrails using the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.

What it is

Optimal IT is Peter Holcomb's AI governance and cybersecurity consultancy. Privacy in America is already dead — Optimal IT helps companies build AI tools with real guardrails, not security theater. OWASP Top 10 for LLMs is the framework.

Who it's for

Founders and CTOs building AI-powered products who want a governance framework that protects users and the business — not just a compliance checkbox.

Why it's better

  • Privacy in America is already dead — the question is whether your company is contributing to the problem.
  • OWASP Top 10 for LLMs is the actual framework for securing AI systems, not generic cybersecurity advice.
  • AI governance built in from the start costs a fraction of retrofitting it after a breach.
  • Distinguishes real security guardrails from the security theater that gives founders false confidence.
  • Helps companies move fast with AI without creating the liability that moves fast without guardrails creates.
