The AI Trust Layer
Your Enterprise
Can Verify
VeriGate sits between your AI applications and LLM providers, encrypting data in hardware enclaves and generating cryptographic proof of compliance — automatically.

The Enterprise AI Trust Gap
Enterprises must embrace AI to stay competitive, yet face existential risks from data exposure and regulatory non-compliance.
Data Sovereignty Risk
When you send sensitive data to third-party AI APIs, you surrender control. Insider threats, cloud breaches, and unauthorized training on your data are real risks.
Black-Box Unverifiability
You cannot verify if the API response truly came from the claimed model version, or if inference was tampered with. Unacceptable for financial, medical, and legal use cases.
Catastrophic Compliance Risk
EU AI Act enforcement begins August 2, 2026. Non-compliance penalties reach up to 7% of global annual revenue or €35 million — whichever is higher.
Massive Compliance Cost
Large enterprises face $8M-$15M in initial compliance investment for high-risk AI systems. Most lack the internal tooling to generate required audit evidence.
One Trust Engine, Five Entry Points
A unified backend engine with differentiated frontends — covering every AI usage scenario from browser to backend.
Unified Trust Engine
All five product forms share the same core: TEE hardware isolation + zkML cryptographic verification + blockchain audit trail.
Browser Extension
Protect ChatGPT, Claude & web AI. Same extension for personal and enterprise accounts.
Desktop Agent
Secure Cursor, Copilot & local AI tools. Works like Cloudflare WARP for AI traffic.
API Gateway
One-line integration for enterprise AI apps. Route all LLM calls through VeriGate.
Native SDK
Deep integration for custom backends. Python, Node.js, Go & Rust libraries.
Admin Console
Policy management, audit logs & compliance reports. Full visibility for CISO teams.
Adaptive Privacy Levels
Not every request needs maximum protection. Configure the right balance of security and cost.
From Trust-by-Assumption
to Trust-by-Evidence
Hardware isolation meets mathematical proof. Two independent layers of verification that no single point of failure can compromise.
TEE Hardware Isolation
Execution-time ProtectionNVIDIA H100 Trusted Execution Environments create hardware-enforced enclaves where your data is processed. Not even cloud administrators or VeriGate operators can access your data during inference.
zkML Verification
Pre & Post-execution ProofZero-Knowledge Machine Learning proofs verify that the model is exactly the version claimed and that inference was not tampered with. Powered by Jolt Atlas framework.
Blockchain Audit Trail
Immutable Compliance EvidenceCryptographic proofs are batch-submitted to L2 chains (Base / BNB Chain), creating tamper-proof audit logs that directly satisfy EU AI Act requirements for at least 6 months of record retention.
Automated Compliance
EU AI Act ReadyAutomatically generates compliance reports including user identity, policy decisions, data asset hashes, and model version fingerprints — the exact documentation regulators demand.
API Gateway Architecture
Data flows through VeriGate's secure gateway — encrypted, processed in TEE, verified, and delivered.
Blockchain Audit Trail
Every inference generates an immutable, cryptographic proof on-chain — your compliance evidence that can never be altered.
Why VeriGate Stands Apart
The only solution combining hardware isolation, mathematical proof, and immutable audit — in one unified platform.

The 1Password Playbook
for AI Security
Product-Led Growth: individuals adopt for free, teams spread virally, enterprises convert at high ACV. The same playbook that built 1Password ($6.8B) and Cloudflare ($35B).
Individual Adoption
Free tierDevelopers and knowledge workers install the free browser extension or desktop agent to protect their personal AI usage.
Team Viral Spread
5-10x viral coefficientUsers share VeriGate within their teams. Word-of-mouth drives organic growth as colleagues see the privacy verification badge.
Enterprise Conversion
$50K-$200K ACVIT/CISO teams discover widespread VeriGate usage. They upgrade to Enterprise for centralized policy control, SSO, and compliance reporting.
Pay Per Request, Not Per Seat
Your cost scales with AI usage, not headcount. Less than $0.01 per secured inference — the cheapest insurance for your data.
