AI Guardian: AFFIRM AI Gateway + Firewall
AFFIRM is a single control point for every AI request, providing routing, threat defense, cost control, and compliance evidence in one pass. It replaces five separate products (Gateway, Firewall, Observability, Cost Attribution, and Compliance Evidence) into one integrated solution.
Core Capabilities

- Vendor-Neutral Model Routing: Routes traffic across OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, and Azure AI based on cost, complexity, and quality.
- Tamper-Evident Audit Chain: Produces SHA-256 hash-chained, Ed25519-signed evidence for every transaction.
- Sensitive Data Protection: Inline PII, PFI, and PHI masking before any log or audit write.
Deployment Options
- SaaS: Managed by Synergist, up in 30 minutes.
- K3s / Edge: On-premises or VPC, data never leaves your perimeter.
