TaoQ AI is the sole proprietorship of Leone Perdigão, a Principal AI Architect, who helps European tech companies design, build and secure AI systems so they hold up in production and in audits. The services include a threat model and security architecture review, an AI Risk Baseline assessment, an ongoing security and compliance partnership, and hands-on delivery of agents, retrieval over your own data and model serving. The focus is on the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF, mapped to system controls, and on adversarial testing of AI agents.
Perdigão also maintains Ziran, an open-source (Apache-2.0) tool for security testing of AI agents. Ziran looks for dangerous combinations of tools, supports LangChain, CrewAI, MCP and A2A among others, is installed with pip and run locally, and reports in HTML, Markdown and JSON. TaoQ AI is based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Because Ziran is self-hosted, test data stays in your own environment; the provider is a one-person practice, which can matter for continuity and capacity.
