About Us

Our Mission & Vision

Backed by a decade of digital transformation experience across Europe and Asia, we have helped organisations streamline operations, secure data, and leverage technology to drive growth. As AI technologies have become increasingly prevalent, we observed a new challenge emerging: companies need to protect their valuable Intellectual Property (IP) from unintended AI exposure and automated content scraping.

This insight led to the creation of 9SHIELD — a specialised AI IP Defense Solution. We use our proven expertise to design, configure, and manage comprehensive defense frameworks. Our approach provides deep consultation and implementation support for multi-layered defense, ensuring companies maintain control, visibility, and confidence over their most valuable IP in the age of AI.

Tiered Services

Protect, Monitor, and Counter

9SHIELD offers structured, three-tiered defense solutions to safeguard your intellectual property from AI training models and unauthorized data scraping. From foundational access control to aggressive counter-action, we ensure your digital assets remain secure.

Tier 1:
Compliance & Passive Protection

  • Policy & Technical Setup: Configure your website and content policies to block compliant AI crawlers (e.g., GPTBot, Google-Extended)
  • Legal & Terms Alignment: Update your Terms of Service to formally restrict AI scraping and model training.
  • Smart Tagging: Apply structured metadata (like “noAI”) to mark sensitive pages and guide legitimate bots away.

Tier 2:
Active Detection & Access Control

  • Bot Behaviour Analysis: Detect and distinguish between human visitors, AI tools, and automated crawlers.
  • Dynamic Access Control: Block suspicious traffic, throttle overactive bots, and restrict high-risk IP ranges.
  • Adaptive Defence Rules: Block known high-risk cloud provider IP ranges and sources of large-scale scraping.

Tier 3:
Advanced Trace & Counteraction

  • Digital Watermarking: Embed invisible identifiers into key assets to trace unauthorised use or copying.
  • AI Model Disruption: Introduce imperceptible variations to degrade unauthorised model training accuracy.
  • Forensic Scanning & Evidence Reports: Detect misuse across the web and generate legal-ready documentation for takedowns.

Our Defense Deployment & Partnership Process

A 4-step approach that ensures a systematic rollout of your chosen 9SHIELD Tiers, from initial assessment to ongoing counter-action and reporting.

1

Discovery & Strategy

Review public-facing content and identify high-value IP assets at risk of AI scraping. Perform a preliminary analysis of your existing legal and technical guardrails. Propose optimal 9SHIELD Tier(s).


Typical Turnaround: 1-3 Days.
(Complimentary Assessment)

2

Custom Configuration

Configure and deploy core legal and technical compliance tags based on our proprietary analysis. This includes detailed guidance and validation support for all foundational IP protection rules.


Typical Turnaround: 3-5 Days.
(One-time Configuration & Setup Charge)

3

Advanced Shielding & Activation

Fully activate customized traffic filters, bot behavior analysis, and dynamic access controls. Initiate proprietary watermarking and AI model disruption technologies for core assets.


Timeline: Subject to Scope.
(Custom Quotation Required)

4

Monitoring & Partnership

Deliver regular forensic reports on threats blocked, detected IP misuse, and defensive efficacy. Establish the long-term partnership framework for maintenance and rule adaptation.


Timeline: Subject to Scope.
