## Description

An AI gateway that routes model requests and applies configured security guardrails.

## AI-native score: Unrated

Available here: [Offers](#offers). Coverage measures research breadth across scored fields.

Research coverage is 38/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed.

## Security & Compliance

We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence.

- **Compliance certifications:** System and Organization Controls 2
- **Access controls:** Role-Based Access Control
