Why we built Tasirio

In the past few years, companies rushed to adopt AI tools like OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Gemini, and many others to drive productivity and innovation.

In doing so, they gave these tools access to their data—documents, emails, chats, calendars, code, knowledge bases, customer information, and critical systems—often without fully understanding the permissions, the exposure, or the risk.

AI moves fast. It learns, connects, and interacts across your environment in ways that traditional security tools weren't designed to see.

Companies rightly ask what AI can do for them—how it makes them faster and transforms the way they work. Tasirio answers the other half of the question: what can that AI reach, and can you prove you're in control?

Most organizations still can't answer the questions that matter:

What can our AI actually access?

Who owns the risk?

Is it governed?

Can we prove it?

We built Tasirio to bring trust to AI.

Tasirio was built to keep an eye on your AI.

Tasirio was built for you to have trust in your AI.

Our principles

The principles behind everything we build.

Purpose-built for AI

Designed from the ground up for AI governance—not adapted from legacy security tools.

Accountability First

Every AI system should have a clear owner, measurable risk, and documented accountability.

Evidence Over Assumptions

Governance should be based on continuous verification, not spreadsheets and checklists.

Read-Only by Design

Tasirio observes your environment without modifying the systems it governs. The one exception is yours to switch on: a ticketing system you connect, where it opens and updates tickets.

Works With Your Stack

We complement the platforms you already trust—we don't replace them.

With more than 40 years in software engineering and executive leadership, Eric Small has founded five startups and served in six C-level technology roles. Self-taught and a builder to the core, he still designs and writes software himself — he built Tasirio from concept to production.

His career spans the three domains Tasirio sits between. In enterprise networking and identity, he developed SilverNet, a top-five commercial network operating system, and created the LANTastic Universal Client — the layer that let LANTastic interoperate with Microsoft and Unix networks. Resolving how access works across systems that model permissions differently is the same problem Tasirio now solves for AI.

In industry, he spent nearly two decades running his own software consultancy for material-handling and medical-device companies — the vertical Tasirio serves today, with the relationships and vocabulary that come from being in it rather than studying it.

In modern cloud and AI, he built Tasirio end-to-end on Azure and Azure OpenAI, taking it from first commit to a live, multi-tenant production platform in about two months, with a connector engine proven against real vendor systems.

Before Tasirio, Eric was CTO of Avirnex, CTO and partner at DigGenius, and Senior Director of Engineering at Performance Contracting Group, a billion-dollar construction firm. He combines decades of enterprise software depth with current, hands-on AI engineering to help organizations see, govern, and prove what their AI can reach.
