PolicyGate governs every AI request at the infrastructure layer — so when your customers ask "how do you control your AI?" you have a real answer, not a Word document.
You've built something real. AI is at the core of your product. You're in active conversations with banks, insurers, healthcare systems, or public sector clients.
Fortune 500 or equivalent. Has a CISO, a legal team, and a procurement gate. Won't sign off until AI governance is evidenced — not described.
"How do you control AI access? What's your data residency proof? Can I see an audit trail?" — Questions that delay or kill deals when you can't answer them concretely.
Enterprise security teams and procurement gates ask the same questions every time. Without infrastructure-level answers, your deal goes into a legal review loop that lasts quarters.
A lightweight gateway that deploys inside your own infrastructure and enforces identity, data residency, rate limits, and audit logging on every AI request — automatically, before the LLM sees it.
Deploy inside your own data centre or in your cloud VPC. Your customers' data never flows through a third-party service — zero new data processor relationships.
One command. Answer a few questions about your cloud and identity provider. Done. No Kubernetes expertise required to start.
A governance report auto-generated on deploy. Hand it to procurement, attach it to your DPA, share it with the CISO. Real evidence, not promises.
"How do you control AI access?"
→ "We run PolicyGate. Here's your governance report."
PolicyGate sits between your application and your AI model. In under 20 milliseconds, it enforces five layers of control — then routes compliant requests through. Everything else is rejected with a logged reason.
Is this a real, valid user with an active session? Checked against your existing identity provider — Okta, Microsoft Entra, or any OIDC source.
Is this request from a user whose data must stay in a specific region? Enforce EU / MENA / custom boundaries before any data moves.
Enforce per-tenant, per-user quotas at the edge. Control LLM costs before they reach the model — not after you get the invoice.
Does this user have the right role and permissions for this endpoint? Policy rules are versioned, tested, and enforced — not checked in application code.
Every allow and every deny is written to an immutable, tamper-evident audit log with a unique decision ID, timestamp, user, and reason.
Only verified, authorized, quota-compliant requests reach your model — with full streaming preserved. Real-time token delivery is never disrupted.
PolicyGate auto-generates a governance report on every deploy. It's the document that answers the security questionnaire, satisfies the DPA, and closes the procurement gate.
Every governance check, against the deployed stack, in one click. Not a mock — a live instance, real decisions, real audit trail.
Each one isolates a single rule — happy path, missing scope, wrong region, expired credentials, unknown route, and more. Every scenario tells you exactly what failed and why.
Not a mock. The suite hits a live PolicyGate instance and returns the actual decision, the actual audit trail, and the exact policy version that evaluated the request.
Every test produces a tamper-evident decision ID, a signed policy reference, and a full deny reason — the same artefact your compliance team would see in production.
No login. No setup. Click and watch.
| Approach | What you tell the CISO | What they actually find | PolicyGate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Policy document | "We have an AI governance policy" | No enforcement. No audit trail. Trust us. | ✓ Infrastructure-enforced, not described |
| App-layer checks | "We validate in the API" | Inconsistent across services. Bypassable. No central audit log. | ✓ Gateway-level — no bypass possible |
| SaaS AI proxy | "We route through a third-party" | New data processor. Customer data leaves your perimeter. GDPR nightmare. | ✓ Runs on-prem or in your cloud. Data never leaves your perimeter. |
| API Gateway (Kong, Apigee) | "We use enterprise API management" | No AI-specific controls. No data residency enforcement. No policy versioning. | ✓ AI-native, residency-enforcing, policy-versioned |
| Build your own gateway | "We built our own" | 3–6 months of engineering. Ongoing maintenance. No templates or tooling. | ✓ Pre-integrated governance stack — designed for AI workloads, deployable in an afternoon |
Full enforcement begins 2026 for high-risk AI systems. Mandatory access controls, audit trails, and transparency obligations — exactly what PolicyGate provides out of the box.
EU Data Protection Authorities are actively extending GDPR enforcement to AI inference pipelines. "We have an AI policy" is no longer sufficient — you need enforceable controls.
Fortune 500 procurement teams are adding AI governance requirements to vendor security questionnaires. A year ago this was optional. Today it's a deal gate. Next year it's a contract clause.

We're working with a select group of EU AI companies who are in active enterprise sales conversations right now. If that's you, let's talk this week.
