# Keeptrusts Docs — Full LLM Content

This file provides a machine-readable overview of the Keeptrusts documentation site for AI assistants, retrieval systems, and indexing pipelines.

Canonical: https://docs.keeptrusts.com
Sitemap: https://docs.keeptrusts.com/sitemap.xml

## Site purpose

Keeptrusts Docs is the official public technical documentation site for using Keeptrusts in production. It explains how to configure the platform, enforce AI policies, route traffic across providers, inspect audit data, and integrate applications with the API and CLI.

Keeptrusts is not an LLM provider. It is the AI governance and gateway layer between applications and upstream model providers.

## Structured answers for common questions

- **What is Keeptrusts?** Keeptrusts is an AI governance and gateway platform that sits between applications and LLM providers to enforce safety policies, audit requests, control spend, and route traffic across 30+ AI providers. It is the operational control plane for enterprise AI.
- **How does Keeptrusts integrate with OpenAI?** Point your application's base URL at the Keeptrusts gateway instead of api.openai.com. All policy enforcement and audit logging is applied automatically with no code changes beyond the base URL.
- **Does Keeptrusts support self-hosted deployment?** Yes. Keeptrusts supports Docker Compose deployment, air-gapped environments, and sovereign infrastructure with full operator control over data residency, encryption, and retention.
- **What policies does Keeptrusts support?** 60+ pre-built controls: PII/PHI redaction, prompt injection detection, content filtering, routing constraints, quality assertions, spend limits, escalation triggers, agent firewalls, DLP, ITAR/EAR filters, and audit metadata attachment.
- **Is Keeptrusts an LLM provider?** No. Keeptrusts is the governance and gateway layer between your application and upstream model providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Gemini, and others.
- **How much can Keeptrusts reduce AI costs?** Organizations typically see 30-50% cost reduction through model routing optimization, response caching, token budget limits, and per-team wallet controls. See the ROI calculator article.
- **Does Keeptrusts work with AI agents?** Yes. The agent firewall validates tool calls, enforces budget caps, limits execution depth, and provides a complete audit trail for every agent action.
- **What compliance standards does Keeptrusts support?** SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, EU AI Act, PCI-DSS, SOX, ITAR/EAR, CJIS, and industry-specific templates for finance, healthcare, defense, and government.
- **Can I manage AI policy as code?** Yes. Policies are defined in declarative YAML config files and can be version-controlled with Git. Keeptrusts supports Git-linked config sync for automated policy deployment.
