Enabling Secure, Compliant GenAI for Federal Agencies with Quilr

Mohamed Osman

The federal government’s stance on AI has officially shifted - from exploratory to imperative.

Two landmark Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memoranda, M-25-21 and M-25-22, now require federal agencies to not only adopt AI, but to do so with governance, transparency, and risk management at the forefront.

And while the potential of GenAI (Generative AI) is massive from FDA-expedited drug and device evaluations to U.S. Army mission planning - so are the risks. Unchecked, these tools can introduce unintended data exposure, misuse of outputs, and compliance blind spots that no federal team can afford.

The question for most agencies isn’t “Why AI?” anymore.  
It’s “How do we adopt GenAI without losing control?”

That’s exactly where Quilr comes in.

From Compliance Mandates to Operational Readiness

Picture

At Quilr, we believe that security and innovation can move together- but only if control is embedded from the start.

Our Autonomous AI Security Platform is engineered to help federal agencies translate complex policy requirements into real-time enforcement, visibility, and confidence. Whether you’re just launching pilots or scaling GenAI across departments, Quilr enables a compliant, scalable, and secure approach.

Here’s how we help you go from mandates to momentum:

Memo-by-Memo Readiness

Quilr maps directly to the requirements in OMB M-25-21 (governing responsible AI use) and M-25-22 (specific to GenAI tools). From governance structures and risk assessments to inventory management and procurement alignment (including procurement of new GenAI tools), Quilr provides the operational controls needed—without slowing innovation.

Real-Time Data Safeguards

Worried about GenAI tools “learning” from sensitive inputs or accessing citizen data or even worse, confidential data that could affect national security? Quilr enforces zero-trust policies in real time, blocking unauthorized access, storage, or transmission—regardless of the model, browser, or device.

Telemetry That Proves and Improves

With GenAI adoption comes accountability. Agencies need full transparency  about how tools are used and whether they provide value. Quilr delivers telemetry down to the keystroke, helping leaders:

  • Prove ROI to stakeholders
  • Detect shadow AI use
  • Optimize licenses and vendor engagement

Empowering Chief AI Officers (CAIOs)

M-25-21 mandates that each agency designate a Chief AI Officer (CAIO). Quilr supports these leaders with tools to:

  • Launch “crawl-walk-run” pilots in isolated environments
  • Test and validate GenAI use cases
  • Ensure security and compliance before full deployment

Secure Collaboration by Design

Security isn’t about saying “no.” It’s about saying “yes” the right way. Quilr enforces least-privilege access to GenAI tools and outputs, with context-aware redaction based on user, role, browser, or device - empowering users without compromising safety.

Built in the U.S., For U.S. Missions

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Quilr is a Dallas-based cybersecurity company built specifically for U.S. federal agencies. Our platform aligns with NIST AI RMF, SOC2, FedRAMP goals, and zero-trust principles, ensuring compliance from the ground up.

Quilr SAAF: Secure AI Adoption Framework

Compliance is a requirement, but strategy is an advantage. That’s why we built SAAF.

Quilr Secure AI Adoption Framework (SAAF) is a practical, vendor-agnostic, and people-centric framework designed to help agencies embrace GenAI responsibly- —starting at the edge, with the end user.

SAAF gives organizations:

  • Full visibility into how AI is being used across the environment
  • Actionable insights to evaluate readiness and risk
  • Real-time controls to enforce policy
  • Guided coaching to help users adopt AI securely and smartly

SAAF is built around 7 core pillars and supported by 30 targeted data points, helping teams assess their current AI maturity and identify exactly where to focus next.

This isn’t just a framework - it’s a flight plan for responsible AI adoption.

Saying “Yes” to GenAI - The Right Way

The reality is: GenAI isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It’s a federal mandate.
But how agencies implement it - securely, responsibly, and transparently - will define the next era of government operations.

With Quilr agencies no longer must choose between compliance and capability.

We help you say “Yes” to GenAI with confidence, control, and clarity.
