Step 1
Confirm which request families, providers, and deployment boundary your program must support.
Defense US governance
Evaluate U.S. defense-adjacent AI controls on a self-hosted gateway
U.S. defense and federal system integrators need clear boundaries for model access, export-controlled data, and review records. Verdictan provides a documented self-hosted gateway for supported traffic. Your AO and program office remain authoritative.
What you are trying to solve
Commercial AI endpoints can be a poor fit for controlled environments that require explicit routing, logging, and change control.
Step 2
Start from a sector template or control map, then tune thresholds for your environment.
Step 3
Run deterministic policy tests before you route regulated or customer-facing traffic.
Program questions to settle before testing
Confirm your data classification, export-control, and system authorization requirements before you route any workload through an AI gateway.
This page does not provide legal advice, ATO guidance, or claims about defense accreditation. Use it only to frame a technical evaluation.
Controls teams usually test first
Self-hosted control point
Run the gateway inside the environment your program authorizes and keep outbound provider access explicit.
Configured policy chains
Test allow, redact, block, and review outcomes against representative workloads before production routing.
Decision evidence
Retain gateway events so assessors can review how supported traffic was handled over time.
A practical rollout sequence
- Engage your authorizing official and security team before you introduce new AI egress paths.
- Map supported request families to approved providers inside your boundary.
- Archive policy test results and decision samples for your accreditation package.
