Fiddler AI

Fiddler AI is an AI observability and guardrails vendor. Its published material describes guardrails that enforce policy inline on an agent's request and response path in under 80ms, stopping violations before data leaves the customer network rather than flagging them afterwards, and states that every enforcement decision is recorded with who triggered it and what happened. It is sold on three plans, with the Developer plan usage-based at $0.002 per trace, and is deployable as SaaS, VPC or on-premises, including AWS GovCloud. The vendor states its users include Fortune 100 organizations in regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, insurance and government, and lists inclusion in four Forrester, Gartner and IDC analyst reports. No compliance certificate, auditor or report date is published on the source page, and no insurance cover, customer indemnity, coverage limit, outcome-linked payment or settlement mechanism is published. All statements above are drawn from the vendor's own homepage, which is a primary source for what the vendor claims about itself.

Trust gap

How this is scored

Runtime governance

2/3

Are scope, spend, and authority enforced while the agent runs?

Guardrails are enforced inline on the agent request/response path in under 80ms and block violations before data leaves the customer network - genuine run-time enforcement, not post-hoc flagging. Held below 3 because what is enforced is content policy (hallucination, toxicity, PII/PHI, prompt injection, jailbreak); no enforced limit on agent scope, spend or authority, which is what a 3 requires.

Audit trail

2/3

Is there a tamper-evident record of what it actually did?

Vendor states every enforcement decision is recorded with who triggered it and what happened, producing customer-reviewable audit evidence. Held below 3 because nothing published states the record is tamper-evident, hash-chained or independently verifiable.

Compliance

1/3

Are compliance obligations attached per engagement?

compliance_certs is recorded no_public_information: no SOC 2, ISO or equivalent certificate, no auditor name and no report date appears on the source page. The only compliance language published is a generic claim of audit evidence "ready for GRC standards and AI regulations", which names no standard, framework or certification. Scored 1 rather than 0 because compliance-oriented capability is published; nothing is certified.

Judged Aug 6, 2026; evidence newer. We have since re-read Compliance certifications, most recently on Aug 26, 2026. No one has re-scored this dimension against it — the score above stands, but it is older than the evidence below it. How current a score is

How this gap gets closed →

Outcome settlement

0/3

Does payment depend on a verified result?

outcome_based_pricing and settlement_mechanism are both recorded no_public_information. The published pricing model is usage-based at $0.002 per trace - payment per unit consumed regardless of result, which is the rubric's explicit definition of 0. No escrow, milestone release or clawback on failure is published.

How this gap gets closed →

Insurance & indemnity

0/3

Can the deployment be insured, and is the customer indemnified?

insurance_available, indemnification, coverage_limits and vendor_regulatory_status are all recorded no_public_information. No carrier is named, no limits are published and no customer indemnity is offered anywhere on the source page. This is a finding, not a gap: a vendor selling AI governance into financial services, healthcare, insurance and government publishes no liability cover or indemnity of its own.

Practicality

Pricing model: usage-based at $0.002 per trace
“We offer three plans, and we work with customers to find the right fit based on their specific use cases and needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all package. The Free plan includes real-time guardrails powered by Fiddler Centor Models at under 80ms latency , protecting against hallucinations, toxicity, PII/PHI, prompt injection, and jailbreak attempts. The Developer plan is usage-based at $0.002 per trace and adds unified observability for agentic and predictive systems, custom evaluators, and SSO. The Enterprise plan adds enterprise-grade guardrails, flexible deployment (SaaS, VPC, or on-premises), infrastructure scalability, and white-glove support with a named Customer Success Manager and customized onboarding.”
