# Security for every AI your team ships. Or uses.

Your developers ship GenAI features faster than security can review them. Bastio provides inline threat guardrails for your code and a secure, private AI portal for your workforce—stopping prompt injection, PII leaks, and agent exploits in &lt;20ms.

§ 01 — Dual-Pillar Platform

## Built for developers. Sanctioned for the workforce.

### Pillar 1 — For Developers & AppSec

#### Inline Guardrails & Security Gateway

API Proxy

A drop-in OpenAI & Anthropic SDK replacement (`base_url="https://api.bastio.com/v1"`). Scans prompts, RAG documents, and outputs for prompt injection, secrets, and jailbreaks in &lt;20ms.

Inline Threat Neutralization

POST /v1/chat/completions · &lt;20ms latency

[Inside Gateway →](/oss)

#### Standalone Developer APIs

REST APIs

Direct security REST APIs (`/v1/detect`, `/v1/pii/mask`, `/v1/guardrails/agent-action`) for custom pipelines, Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, or autonomous agents.

Threat DetectionReversible PII MaskingAgent Action Guardrails

[Developer APIs Guide →](/docs/developer-apis)

### Pillar 2 — For Enterprise & Workforce

#### Enterprise Private AI Portal

Private Web App

A branded private chat portal (`ai.company.com`) providing employees access to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Grok under strict zero-data retention, SSO, and automatic PII redaction.

Data PolicyZero Retention

AuthenticationOkta / SAML SSO

[Inside Private Portal →](/workspace)

#### 1-Click EU AI Act Auditor & SIEM

Compliance

Real-time SIEM webhook dispatchers (Slack, Splunk HEC, Datadog) plus 1-click audit-ready JSON evidence export mapping controls to EU AI Act Articles 14, 15, 50 & ISO 42001.

`GET /v1/audit/export?format=json`

§ 02 — High-Performance Engine

## Zero-latency guardrails. Complete threat visibility.

Bastio scans prompts, RAG document contexts, and LLM responses in real time under 20ms using our compiled Go security engine and ClickHouse trace buffer.

Real-time threat alerts automatically dispatch via SIEM webhooks to Slack, Splunk HEC, and Datadog without blocking your application throughput.

§ 03 — Problem

## AI shipped. The adversaries shipped faster.

Every model call is a new attack surface. Customer PII leaks into prompts. Jailbreaks strip your system prompt in twelve tokens. Bots burn your inference budget over a long weekend — and you find out from the invoice.

You shipped AI anyway. Waiting for a security program meant not shipping. Bastio is the gateway you should have had from day one — inline, self-hostable, and fast enough that you'll forget it's on.

§ 04 — Coverage

## 47 OSS detectors, live on every request.

Not a checklist. A working pipeline. Toggle categories to see what's catching traffic right now across the open-source install base. Cloud customers additionally run the 5-detector Bastio AI Security Suite (Privacy Filter, Prompt Guard, Threat Vector, Injection Semantic, Session Risk Score) on every prompt — transformer-grade ML in sub-50ms. Cloud also dedupes identical prompts via the Bastio Response Cache — no second API call, no second bill.
