Founded by Viktoria Bakos and Richard Ralston, MercurySecurity.io is an AI governance and cybersecurity firm focused on transforming compliance into measurable, data-driven assurance. The company bridges the gap between regulatory frameworks and real-world implementation, delivering practical governance systems grounded in ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act.
Viktoria leads the strategic and research direction, drawing on her background in data-centric cybersecurity, risk analytics, and AI policy integration. Richard drives the technical architecture, designing governance-ready systems that embed compliance, automation, and accountability into enterprise infrastructure.
Together, they are building the foundation for responsible AI — not through policy rhetoric, but through auditable, operational frameworks that make trust a technical reality.
