🟢 Why Compliance Matters

• LLM gateways sit at a critical junction in your infrastructure, processing potentially sensitive data

• Personal identifiable information (PII)

• Protected health information (PHI)

• Proprietary business data

• Customer conversations and queries

• With 83-85% of enterprise buyers now requiring SOC 2 compliance as a vendor prerequisite, and regulatory penalties reaching millions of dollars, compliance isn't just about avoiding fines—it's about enabling business growth and maintaining customer trust.

• Modern LLM gateways must balance the need for powerful AI capabilities with stringent security requirements. This means implementing robust access controls, encryption, monitoring, and incident response capabilities while maintaining the flexibility to route between 160+ models.

• We're currently in the process of getting our SOC 2 audit & compliance completed soon.

🟢 Data Security. Big 5.

HIPAA, SOC2 Type II, GDPR, ADA, PCI DSS

• Nearly ALL organizations today increasingly rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to power their applications, the need for robust security and compliance frameworks has never been more critical

• Whether you're handling sensitive customer data, processing healthcare information, or serving users in the US, Canada, European Union, EMEA or anywhere else, all LLM gateways must meet stringent regulatory requirements

• Ours does it as a default feature

• We've seen firsthand how compliance challenges can slow down AI adoption.

• That's why we've built security and compliance features directly into our platform to route LLM traffic securely while maintaining regulatory compliance

• The points below breaks down the essential security and compliance requirements for LLM gateways, focusing on 5 critical frameworks: SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ADA & PCI DSS

HIPAA | SOC2 | PCI

1. SOC 2: The Enterprise Standard

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) has become the de facto standard for SaaS and cloud service providers. It evaluates how organizations manage customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria:

• Security (mandatory): Protection against unauthorized access

• Availability: System uptime and reliability

• Processing Integrity: Accurate and complete processing

• Confidentiality: Protection of confidential information

• Privacy: Personal information handling

For LLM gateways, SOC 2 Type 2 certification (which assesses operational effectiveness over 6-12 months) demonstrates to enterprise customers that you have mature security controls in place. This is particularly important when using enterprise features like SSO integration and user spend limits.

SOC-2 Type II

2. HIPAA: Healthcare's Gold Standard

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) applies to any organization handling protected health information (PHI). This includes:

• Healthcare providers using LLMs for patient interactions

• Health tech companies processing medical data

• Any LLM gateway that might receive PHI in prompts or responses

• Non-compliance can result in fines up to $1.5 million per violation, making HIPAA compliance essential for healthcare applications

• We are HIPAA complaint with Neon as our BaaS

• You can sign a BAA with us. (sample BAA in Privacy+)

HIPAA requires three types of safeguards:

• Administrative: Policies, training, and risk assessments

• Physical: Facility and device security

• Technical: Access controls, encryption, and audit logs

HIPAA

3. GDPR: Global Privacy Protection

• The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any organization processing data of EU residents, regardless of where the company is located. Key requirements

• Lawful basis for data processing

• Strong data subject rights (access, erasure, portability)

• Data minimization and purpose limitation

• Breach notification within 72 hours

• Privacy by design and default

• With penalties up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover, GDPR compliance is crucial for any LLM gateway with international users

• We are GDPR compliant & integrate it in ALL our solutions

My Data Request (aka DSAR)

4. ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act

• We are ADA compliant across ALL our sites & apps

ADA

5. PCI DSS: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

• We are PCI DSS compliant with Stripe

PCI DSS
