membrAIn eliminates the only thing standing between your organization and the AI tools that actually matter — the security, compliance, and governance gap that keeps IT saying no while employees go around them anyway.
The AI adoption gap is not about willingness — it's about trust. Your team wants Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini. Your organization's best performers are already using them on personal accounts, in browser sessions that IT cannot see, sending prompts that contain company data to providers that have no contractual relationship with your organization.
Meanwhile, IT and legal are saying no to the official request. Not because AI isn't valuable — the data on that is unambiguous — but because there is no governance layer. No audit trail. No DLP protection. No way to prove compliance to a regulator who asks what happened.
The result: the security-conscious organization falls behind. The employees work around it. The data leaks anyway. And when something goes wrong, there is no evidence chain to investigate it.
membrAIn is a cloud-hosted API gateway that sits between your LLM SDKs and every AI provider. Your developers change one environment variable. Everything else — FIPS encryption, DLP scanning, threat detection, lineage chain, audit log, cost attribution, compliance documentation — happens automatically at the gateway, before any message reaches a model.
No agent to install. No MDM required. No code changes beyond a single env var. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Docker, CI/CD, and serverless — because it is just a URL, and every platform that makes an HTTPS request works with it.
The gateway is written in Go using the standard library only — no external dependencies by design. Every external dependency is a supply-chain attack surface; the core gateway has none. It runs on Cloudflare's global edge network across 300+ locations, or on Fly.io for dedicated multi-region deployment. The DoH resolver runs as a Cloudflare Worker that intercepts DNS queries for 30+ AI provider domains and returns the gateway IP — covering browser sessions and mobile without any endpoint install.
Every competitor secures the channel or monitors traffic. None deliver application-layer FIPS encryption with an unforgeable cryptographic lineage chain embedded at the wire level.

membrAIn's architecture was designed to meet the requirements of regulated environments — healthcare, financial services, legal, government contractors — where AI governance is not optional and the cost of a violation is measured in seven figures.
EU AI Act (August 2026 enforcement): Full enforcement for high-risk AI systems begins August 2, 2026, with fines up to €35M or 7% of global revenue. membrAIn's auto-generated Article 11 technical documentation, audit log, and human oversight mechanisms directly address the obligations for organizations deploying AI in employment, healthcare, financial services, or critical infrastructure.
HIPAA: The DLP engine blocks or redacts PHI (including DOB, MRN, NPI, and 12 other identifiers) before any prompt reaches a model provider. Every interaction is logged with a HIPAA-compliant audit trail that satisfies §164.312(b) requirements.
PLATFORM 100–1,000 SEATS: $150K–$500K/YR · ENTERPRISE OEM 1,000+ SEATS: $500K–$2M + ROYALTIES
Enterprise workers using AI save 40–60 minutes per day. At a loaded hourly cost of $65, that's $2,708–$4,062 per employee per year in recovered productivity — for every employee who gains access to governed AI tools. membrAIn at Citadel for 50 agents costs $149,400/year. The productivity value of 50 employees gaining AI access is $135,000–$203,000/year. Before token savings, incident avoidance, or compliance cost reduction.
The more accurate framing: what is the cost of the next AI-related compliance violation? A single HIPAA violation averages $50,000–$1.9M. A GDPR enforcement action for undocumented AI processing: up to €35M. A data breach from shadow AI: industry average $4.88M (IBM 2024). membrAIn's annual cost at any tier is a fraction of any one of those outcomes.
