Get good (with AI).
Galing is Tagalog for "great skill."
The Galing Group is an AI studio composed of three repeat founders who excel at building things from scratch.
Nine in ten AI deployments get delayed because of data security and management concerns.
AvePoint's State of AI 2026 report found that 87% of organizations delayed their generative and agentic AI deployments, by an average of almost six months. Four in ten canceled their GenAI assistant rollouts outright. The cause isn't model quality. It's ungoverned data, unclear ownership, and no visibility into what the AI touches.
We've been building security products since 2000, so with us security is never an afterthought. We build governance hand in hand with you, then stay to make sure the deployment, or the skunkworks project, actually ships. And we can build almost anything: food delivery routing algorithms, massive honeypot networks, AI governance programs for MSPs and Fortune 500s who had nothing on paper, engineering orgs rebuilt around AI-native tooling.
Fourth company. Two exits.
We're not consultants; we're entrepreneurs, so we care about things that ship to production. Galing is the fourth company the three of us have started together. Two of the earlier ones were acquired: Komand, by Rapid7, and Threat Stack, by F5. The third is Maro, an AI security platform that guides employees in real time as they adopt AI and shows security teams what's actually happening across every tool, prompt, and interaction. SOC 2, patent pending, running inside companies today.
Along the way we've built global systems serving tens of thousands of enterprises and millions of people, and we were doing automation before it was cool, for companies like Lyft and Datadog.
Fourth company.
Same three people.
Some of what we've done, and what we'd do for you.
Most pilots stall on foundations, so that's where the list starts.
Get the foundations right
- Data cleaned, unified, and governed. The unglamorous part.
- Model gateways, evals, observability, cost controls.
- Agents wired into your CRM, ERP, and internal APIs.
Change how your software gets built
- AI coding tools across the whole org, productivity actually measured.
- Legacy migration: COBOL to Java, monoliths to services.
- Test coverage backfilled before anyone touches old code.
Put AI into the business
- Agents that run a process end to end.
- Copilots and assistants, internal or customer-facing.
- Search and structured data out of your own documents.
Strategy, risk, and people
- Finding where AI actually pays off.
- AI policy, red-teaming, EU AI Act readiness.
- Pilot rescue: stalled proof-of-concepts taken to production.
We send a tropa, not a playbook.
Most firms sell you a team holding a repeatable playbook that works for them. We send a tropa. Your tropa are the people who show up for you, on equal footing, no hierarchy. Three people, embedded in your company:
- An Engineer
- who builds in your environment, with your constraints, in production.
- A Designer
- who runs discovery continuously and turns what we learn into working prototypes, so you're always reacting to something real.
- A Customer Lead
- who owns scope, timeline, and stakeholders, and picks up the phone. You always know who to call.
Every product we've shipped was built by this triangle. It's the only shape we've seen consistently produce software people actually use.
We don't do waterfall.
We looked at the seven largest firms in this space. Every one of them quotes ten to twelve weeks of discovery before you see a result. That's about $120,000 before a single line of code.
We do four weeks.
Then discovery keeps going for the life of the engagement, because a plan you locked in Q1 is a liability by Q3.
If the value isn't obvious, cancel. We mean that plainly. A month's notice, no fees for a project abandoned halfway. We'd rather you leave early than stay disappointed.
Two things that rarely show up in the same team.
We're security people.
In this industry since 2000, with companies built and sold in it. We know GRC, AI-native threats, and what your board actually asks about, because we've spent our careers building tools for practitioners.
We're AI-native.
We were working with machine learning long before it was a requirement, and we build with it every day in our own product.
Most firms do security or they build products. We do both, and the line between them is where the hard, fun problems live.
Where we've done it.
Our clients include a top-20 accounting firm, one of the largest holders of vaccination data in the country, and one of the biggest UC schools. We've rolled out AI across entire workforces, stood up governance programs from scratch, rebuilt engineering practices end to end, and built AI tools that moved the bottom line.
Names withheld on purpose.
Ask us on the call.
Give us four weeks. If we haven't earned the next four, we'll all know it.
We run a small number of engagements at a time. Set up 45 minutes now, so we're ready to start the day a tropa frees up.
