Securing the Future of Work
We're on a mission to make AI adoption safe, compliant, and productive for every organization.
Our Mission
At Thinkpol, we believe every organization deserves to harness the transformative power of AI without sacrificing security, compliance, or peace of mind.
We're not here to restrict AI usage—we're here to enable it. By providing real-time visibility into AI conversations, we help organizations move from fear to confidence, from restriction to innovation.
Our name, inspired by George Orwell's concept, reflects our commitment to thoughtful oversight—not surveillance, but protection. When AI conversations cross the line, we're there to protect both organizations and employees from unintended consequences.
Our Story
Thinkpol was born from a simple observation: organizations desperately want to embrace AI, but they're terrified of the risks they can't see or control.
After witnessing countless data breaches from well-meaning employees simply trying to do their jobs better with AI, we realized the problem wasn't the technology or the people—it was the lack of visibility.
Traditional security approaches were failing because they treated AI like any other software tool. But AI is different. It's conversational, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful. It needed a new approach.
So we built Thinkpol: the first AI monitoring platform designed specifically for the reality of how people actually use AI at work. Not to spy or restrict, but to enable safe innovation.
Leadership
Mark Holt
Founder & CEO
Mark is a technology leader with extensive experience in product-led growth, digital transformation and data-driven innovation. Formerly CTPO at Trainline, Trayport, CPA Global and 10x Banking, he has built and successfuly scaled small, medium and large scale products and teams.
With deep expertise in leading product & engineering teams, machine learning, and enterprise transformation, Mark has been at the vanguard of Artifical Intelligence for many years. He recognized early that AI adoption would be the next major challenge for enterprises with a particular focus on security and privacy; an insight led to founding Thinkpol. He is a passionate advocate for AI safety and responsible innovation.
"The impact of AI will dwarf the impact of technoloogies like mobile phones and the internet, yet companies still get stuck at 'we've given everybody CoPilot licenses'. AI will completely change the economics of today's businesses; creating opportunities, reducing costs and introducing new risks. Visiblity is the key to safe AI adoption, and Thinkpol is the platform that will help us do that."

No black boxes. We're transparent about what we monitor, how we do it, and why it matters.
