The Opportunity

Problem

Enterprise teams in compliance-heavy organizations struggle with inadequate role-based access controls and audit logs in AI tools, blocking secure and widespread AI adoption.

Solution

AIGuardProxy acts as a drop-in proxy for popular AI APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic, enforcing role-based access controls before requests reach the provider. It captures detailed audit logs of every interaction, including user identity, prompts, and responses, stored immutably for compliance. IT teams can define granular policies per role, enabling safe AI rollout across regulated enterprises.

Target Audience

IT and security teams in enterprise organizations within regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government

Differentiator

Zero-config proxy integration with one-click setup for major AI providers, focusing solely on compliance without altering app code.
