The risks of ungoverned AI in finance

Financial services face unique AI governance challenges that generic LLM proxies do not address.

$4.88M

Average cost of a financial data breach (IBM, 2025)

PCI Compliance Risk

AI agents processing transactions can inadvertently send card numbers, account details, or SSNs to AI providers. A single leak means fines, breach notifications, and lost customer trust.

10,000x

Potential cost spike during market volatility events

Runaway Trading Bot Costs

Autonomous trading agents can generate thousands of AI calls per minute during volatile markets. Without per-agent budget caps, a single bot can burn through your entire monthly AI budget in hours.

72 hrs

Typical regulatory response window for audit requests

Regulatory Audit Requirements

Financial regulators (SEC, FCA, MAS) increasingly require explainable AI decisions. You need an immutable record of every AI call, every governance decision, and every agent action -- retrievable on demand.


How the gateway protects financial data

Four layers of governance applied to every AI request, automatically.

01

Personal Data Scanning for Financial Data

The gateway scans every request before it reaches any AI provider. Regex and pattern matching catches credit card numbers (Luhn-validated), bank account numbers, routing numbers, SSNs, and API keys. Configurable deny or redact modes.

Blocks PCI-sensitive data before it leaves your network

02

Per-Agent Budget Caps

Set daily and per-request cost limits for each trading bot or analysis agent. The cost estimation step pre-calculates token costs and denies requests that would exceed the budget. Real-time tracking in Redis means limits are enforced within milliseconds.

$50/day cap per agent, $0.50 per-request max -- configurable

03

Immutable Audit Trail

Every AI request, governance decision, and agent action is logged to an append-only audit trail in MongoDB. Time-stamped, org-scoped, and searchable. Export to your compliance system or hand directly to regulators.

Every decision recorded. Every action traceable. Always.

04

Model Allowlists

Restrict which AI models your agents can use. Prevent accidental use of models that lack SOC 2 compliance or that route data through unapproved jurisdictions. Wildcards supported (e.g., gpt-4* allows all GPT-4 variants).

Only approved models. No exceptions.

Example: AI-powered fraud detection

A 6-agent fleet processing 17,500 AI requests per day -- every call governed, every cost tracked, every action audited.

All 6 agents governed through one gateway. Each agent has its own budget cap, model allowlist, and personal data scanning rules. The fleet dashboard shows aggregate and per-agent costs in real time. One audit trail covers every request across all agents.
