About Wardin

Wardin operates as a gateway in the request path of AI systems, intercepting every LLM call before it reaches the provider. It enforces policy controls such as PII redaction, injection shields, model allowlists, and budget caps, preventing violations from leaving the network. The tool meters costs in real time, assigning every dollar spent to a team or project, and generates signed, tamper-evident receipts for each call. These receipts include actor, model, policy checks, cost, and hash-chain links to prior records, enabling audit-grade verification without trust assumptions. Wardin replaces multiple separate tools—guardrail services, FinOps platforms, developer analytics, and observability tools—by consolidating governance, cost tracking, and evidence collection into a single control plane. The evidence layer is designed to meet regulatory requirements such as the EU AI Act’s logging and record-keeping duties, providing long-term retention via Object Lock WORM storage and offline verification for auditors.

How does Wardin integrate with existing AI workflows?

Wardin sits in the request path of AI systems, acting as a drop-in gateway that enforces policies, meters costs, and signs receipts without requiring changes to existing AI tools or providers.

What types of policy controls does Wardin enforce?

Wardin enforces policy controls such as PII redaction, injection shields, model allowlists, and budget caps, preventing violations from leaving the network before they reach the provider.

Does Wardin provide cost tracking for AI usage?

Yes, Wardin meters costs in real time, assigning every dollar spent to a team or project, and provides finance-grade cost allocation that updates as spending occurs rather than waiting for invoices.
