to working systems.
For organizations where sensitive information
and regulatory requirements shape the work.
AI strategy & delivery
Business context.
Business context.
Technical delivery.
A clear business case, a system built around your requirements, and support once it is in use.
Led by former lawyer and business leader Shekhar Parmar, ZeroSquared connects practical AI delivery with experience in healthcare, publicly traded businesses, and sensitive information.
Sensitive data & regulatory contextThe whole data journey.
The whole data journey.
From the first decision.
Assess where information is collected, processed, accessed, stored, retained, and deleted. Carry residency requirements and handling controls through architecture, implementation, and day-to-day operation.
Residency & access
Examine hosting and processing locations, support access, logs, retention, and subprocessors against your organization's requirements.
Governance & control
Define decision rights, access boundaries, human review, and operating ownership. Bring your legal, privacy, security, and technology teams into a shared decision.
A clearer basis for choosing vendors, approving designs, and deciding what information a system should use.

More work at HighbarA few useful questions.
Who is ZeroSquared designed for?
Organizations introducing AI into sensitive or regulated work. That includes healthcare organizations and health systems, public companies, and other businesses with complex operating requirements.
Do you stay involved through implementation?
Yes. We can take the work through build, deployment, and adoption, then support improvements after launch. Each engagement defines the responsibilities and ongoing support.
How does an engagement begin?
Start with a high-level outline of the outcome or problem. We then agree on the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, and fee.
Will you need confidential information?
Initial conversations can stay at the level of workflows and requirements. If sensitive material is necessary later, agree the purpose, access, handling, residency, and retention arrangements before sharing it.
Can you work with our existing technology team?
Yes. We can lead a defined delivery scope or work alongside your team. We agree on the responsibilities and decision rights before work begins.
