## Real-time social media compliance, built into the post composer
## Move Your Rulebook Off the Shelf and Into the Composer
Almost every company has a social media policy. Almost nobody reads it. Guardrails moves it into the composer, where the post actually gets written.
**Upload your policy or brand guidelines** and Guardrails turns them into working rules in minutes. From there, every post is checked as it is written. On-policy posts go out, anything off comes back with a specific fix before it is published.
[Book a Demo](https://get.ambassify.com/demo-options/schedule-a-1-on-1-demo-of-the-ambassify-platform)
## Your Policy Becomes Rules You Can See and Tune
Every rule Guardrails draws from your policy is visible and editable. You see all of them: personal data, the exact terms you never want published, and the rules that need judgment, like "don't name a customer" or "always include a risk disclosure."
You decide how each rule works. Set it as a hard block or a soft nudge, and test it on your own past posts before a single member sees it.
## What's Inside Guardrails
## 
## Your policy, your rules
Add any rule your company runs on, from "always include a risk disclosure" to "don't speak for the company unless authorized." Generate a starting rule set straight from your policy document.
## 
## Built for approvals
Guardrails runs first and clears the high-volume issues before a post reaches a human, so reviewers spend their judgment on the genuine edge cases instead of the same corrections over and over.
## 
## A fix, on the spot
Every flag comes with a specific instruction the writer can act on immediately, plus optional tips to make a good post even stronger before it goes live.
## 
## Reads for meaning, not just words
Guardrails interprets a post the way a human reviewer would, so it catches the implied promise or unbalanced claim that a banned-words list sails straight past.
## 
## PII and banned-term detection
Automatically flag email addresses, phone numbers, and the exact phrases you never want published. The floor of compliance, handled without a second thought.
## 
## Block or nudge, your call
Set each rule as a hard block for the things that must never go out, or a soft warning that guides without stopping the post. Tune it to your risk, module by module.

## Why Understanding Beats Blocking
Ambassify doesn't just block a list of words. **Guardrails** reads what a post actually means, the way a human reviewer would. Employees post more freely, and only the posts that genuinely need a change get flagged.
- **95%** of the rules in a typical enterprise social media policy are about meaning, not banned words. The most common one is simply "be respectful".
- **Based on real policies** from banking and insurance to healthcare and government, shaping how Guardrails reviews every post.

## Frequently asked questions
Does Ambassify check posts for social media policy compliance?
Yes. Guardrails checks every share against your company's own social media policy the moment it is written, inside the composer. Compliant posts publish as normal, and anything off-policy comes back to the writer with a specific fix before it goes live.
How is this different from a banned-words list?
A word list only matches vocabulary, so it can't tell "there is no risk" from "our risk management team." Guardrails reads a post for meaning and intent the way a reviewer would, catching the implied promise or identifiable detail a list would miss, and telling the writer exactly how to fix it.
Can I use my own company's rules?
Yes. Add any rule your company runs on and mark it hard or soft. You can also generate a starting rule set directly from your existing social media policy document, then refine it.
Does Guardrails replace our approval flow?
No, it makes it faster. In regulated industries you often need a human in the loop, and Guardrails keeps that reviewer. It clears the high-volume, obvious issues first, so most posts reach your reviewer already clean and the queue moves faster.
What about personally identifiable information?
Guardrails can detect and flag email addresses, phone numbers, and any exact phrases you choose to ban, so that basic layer of protection is always in place under your custom rules.
Is this useful for banking, insurance, and other regulated industries?
Yes. Regulated teams get the tightest fit. A missing disclosure or an unbalanced claim can carry real consequences, and Guardrails catches those at the point of writing while keeping an audit-friendly record that a check ran on every post.
