Shadow AI & sprawl
Teams adopt LLM APIs, embed copilots, and stand up MCP servers without a central record. By the time security finds out, the data is already flowing out the door.
Read moreAI Warden is the platform responsible organisations use to secure, govern, and control their AI landscape — so developer and product teams can ship faster with guardrails already in place.
Built for security, risk, and platform teams across regulated markets
The problem
Every team is shipping with AI. Most security teams cannot tell you which models, which agents, or which MCP servers are running today — let alone what data they touch, how much they cost, or whether they would survive a regulator asking for evidence.

See the threat modelEU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, sector regulators. The question stops being "do you use AI?" and becomes "show me your inventory, your controls, and your evidence."
The regulatory landscapeThe platform
AI Warden gives you a single place to set policy, watch every request, enforce in real time, and produce the evidence to prove it. Each surface is independently useful; together they close the loop.
01 — LLM Gateway
Route every prompt and completion through one egress. Hold provider keys server-side. Enforce per-team budgets, prompt-injection scanners, PII redaction, and content policies — before the request ever leaves your network.
import openai openai.api_key = "sk-prod-7f2a…" # committed by mistake openai.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", ...)
import openai openai.base_url = "https://gw.aiwarden.io/v1" openai.api_key = os.environ["AIW_PAT"] # short-lived, scoped openai.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", ...) # gateway: enforces policy, redacts PII, charges your team budget
02 — MCP Fleet
The MCP servers connecting your AI to email, code, finance, CRM are the new attack surface. AI Warden registers them, scans every request and response in real time, and gives you a kill-switch when something looks wrong.
03 — Governance & Compliance
Set policies once and apply them to every model, agent, and connector. Map controls to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and your internal frameworks. Regenerate the evidence pack any time a regulator asks.
04 — Agents & Copilots
Agents and copilots run continuously, on your behalf, often as system principals. Treat them like employees: identity-rooted, scoped, time-bounded, and revoked when they leave. AI Warden gives every agent its own identity — and a policy you can audit.
Outcomes
Drop-in OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure-OpenAI compatibility. No client rewrites required.
Best estimate from early rollouts. Results vary by workload shape, cache hit rate, and model mix.
Keys live server-side. Clients hold a short-lived, scoped, revocable PAT.
Map controls once. Export the framework of choice on demand.
Example outcome from a recent banking engagement: nine teams were using LLMs through six routes with unreconciled spend. Within a month, traffic moved to one gateway, keys were centralised server-side, and regulator evidence no longer required a war room.
Under the hood
Self-hosted or SaaS. Keycloak / Entra / Okta on the front, Postgres and ClickHouse on the back, an OpenAPI-described control plane in the middle. No black boxes. No agent on every laptop.
One VM, your network, your keys, your data. Or a managed instance if you'd rather we operate it. Same code path either way.
SSO via OIDC into your IDP. Every actor — human, service principal, agent — has a real identity behind every audit row.
OpenAI-compatible egress. OpenAPI-described control plane. OTel, signed audit, S3 / SIEM sinks. No proprietary SDK to adopt.
Drop AI Warden in front of existing systems and start observing. Enforcement is a deliberate, auditable action — never the default.
Use the LLM Gateway alone. Or just the MCP Fleet. Or the whole platform. Surfaces share data; you don't have to share scope.
Built by engineers from the regulated-finance, healthcare, and identity worlds. Patterns chosen because they survive a real audit, not because they look good on a slide.
On watch
Every request, every key, every agent — under one steady gaze. The platform takes the name seriously: read-only by default, deliberate when it acts, and never asleep at the post.
