The control layer for AI

Guardrails for every
AI decision.

Trace Gate is an AI guardrail, firewall and governance layer that inspects, traces and controls every prompt, response and action - in real time. Ship AI to production without shipping the risk.

The exposure

AI moves fast. So do the threats.

Every prompt is an untrusted input. Every response is a potential leak. Once an LLM or agent can read your data and take actions, the attack surface is your whole business.

Prompt injection

Hidden instructions in documents, tools and web pages hijack your model and override its rules.

Data & PII leakage

Models echo secrets, customer records and proprietary data straight into responses and logs.

Jailbreaks & abuse

Adversarial prompts bypass safety, generate harmful output and turn your product into a liability.

Ungoverned access

Shadow AI, unlimited spend and zero audit trail - no one knows who asked what, or why.

The platform

One gate. Three layers of defense.

Trace Gate sits inline between your users, your models and your data - enforcing policy on the way in and on the way out.

01 · Guardrail

Policy that thinks like an attacker

Define what your AI can and can't do in plain policy. Trace Gate blocks prompt injection, jailbreaks, toxic output, hallucinated actions and off-topic drift - before they reach a user or a downstream system.

  • Injection & jailbreak classifiers
  • Topic, tone & safety controls
  • Output validation & grounding checks
02 · Firewall

Inline inspection, in real time

Every prompt and response is inspected, scored and enforced on the wire - block, redact, mask or challenge in milliseconds.

  • PII & secret redaction
  • Block · redact · re-ask
  • <10ms added latency
03 · Control layer

Govern every model & team

Central policy, identity and spend controls across every model and provider you run.

  • RBAC & per-team keys
  • Rate limits & budget caps
  • Model routing & fallback
Trace · everything

A full, tamper-evident record of every AI interaction

Trace Gate captures the who, what, when and why of every request - prompts, responses, policy verdicts and actions - into an immutable audit trail you can search, replay and export to your SIEM. When something goes wrong, you already have the evidence.

  • Immutable audit log
  • Replay & forensics
  • SIEM & webhook export
  • Compliance-ready reports
How it works

Live in an afternoon. In front of everything.

Point your AI traffic at Trace Gate as a drop-in proxy or SDK - no model changes, no rip-and-replace.

  1. 1

    Connect

    Route requests through the Trace Gate proxy or drop in our SDK. Works with any model, any provider, self-hosted or SaaS.

  2. 2

    Define policy

    Compose guardrails from a library of detectors, or write your own. Version them, test them, roll them out per team.

  3. 3

    Enforce inline

    Every prompt and response is inspected and enforced in real time - allow, block, redact or challenge.

  4. 4

    Trace & improve

    Watch every decision on the live dashboard, investigate incidents, and tighten policy with real evidence.

# Point your app at the gate - that's it

export TRACEGATE_KEY="tg_live_••••••••"

# Every call is now inspected, traced & governed

Capabilities

Everything you need to run AI safely.

Prompt-injection defense

Detect and neutralize direct and indirect injection across tools and documents.

PII & secret redaction

Automatically find and mask names, cards, keys and PHI in prompts and responses.

Jailbreak & abuse blocking

Classifiers trained on live attack patterns stop bypass attempts at the door.

Hallucination & grounding checks

Validate output against sources and schemas before it ships to a user.

RBAC & identity

Per-user, per-team keys, scopes and approvals for who can touch which model.

Rate limits & budgets

Hard spend caps and quotas to kill runaway usage and surprise bills.

Model routing & fallback

Route by cost, policy or performance - with automatic failover between providers.

Audit & SIEM export

Immutable logs, webhooks and streams into Splunk, Datadog or your stack.

Self-hosted & air-gapped

Deploy in your own VPC or on-prem - your data never has to leave your walls.

Coming soon

Securing the agentic era.

Autonomous agents don't just answer - they act. They call tools, move money, touch systems and chain decisions. Trace Gate is extending the control layer to give every agent a leash, an identity and a black box.

Soon

Agent guardrails

Per-agent policy on goals, tools and outputs - so an agent can't wander outside its lane.

Soon

Tool & action firewall

Approve, block or require human sign-off on every tool call, API hit and side effect.

Soon

Agent identity & permissions

Give every autonomous agent a scoped identity, least-privilege access and revocable keys.

Soon

Multi-agent trace

Follow a decision across a whole swarm of agents - one connected, replayable timeline.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The short version of what teams ask us before putting a gate in front of their AI.

What is Trace Gate?

Trace Gate is an AI guardrail, firewall and control layer. It sits inline between your users, your models and your data to inspect, trace and govern every prompt, response and action in real time.

How does Trace Gate stop prompt injection and data leakage?

Every prompt and response is inspected on the wire. Trace Gate blocks prompt injection and jailbreaks, redacts PII and secrets, and validates output before it reaches a user or a downstream system - all with under 10ms of added latency.

Does Trace Gate work with any LLM, and can I self-host it?

Yes. Trace Gate is model-agnostic and works with any LLM or provider via a drop-in proxy or SDK. It can run as a managed service or be fully self-hosted in your own VPC or on-premises, so your data never has to leave your walls.

Does Trace Gate support AI agents and autonomous agents?

Agent security is coming soon. Trace Gate is extending the control layer with per-agent guardrails, a tool and action firewall, scoped agent identity and permissions, and multi-agent tracing.
