Deploy AI with confidence. Prove it with logs.

Every interaction is governed as it happens and logged from prompt to source and back.

Open your data to AI. Keep control of every request

Policy, permissions, audit logs, and a kill switch for every AI tool you connect.

“Sales reps can read Salesforce accounts and pipeline, but never salary or comp fields. Block deletes for everyone.”

Will this work in my environment?

Access control, audit, and observability that plug into the identity providers and security tooling your teams already run.

Access control models

  • RBAC
  • ABAC
  • Time-windowed access
  • Custom business rules
  • Agent service accounts

Identity providers

  • Okta
  • Azure AD
  • Ping Identity

Audit destinations

  • Query-level logs
  • SIEM-ready export
  • Real-time dashboard

Deployment

  • Cloud
  • Hybrid
  • On-prem sources

Most tools govern at one layer. We govern at two.

At the AI layer, set what each tool can access and act on. At the connectivity layer, set which systems it can reach.

Route and govern AI traffic

Centralized routing

A combined LLM, MCP, and agent gateway routes every request to an approved model under policy.

Agent guardrails

Runtime controls on what each agent may call and do, enforced on every request, not just at provisioning.

Cost controls

Budgets, rate limits, and spend attribution per team or agent.

Observability

Every request traced from prompt to model to answer, visible from one control plane.

Answer any question about your AI in minutes.

Who did what, why it happened, and how it's performing. Captured automatically and ready wherever your team already works.

Audit history

Reconstruct what changed

Capture login, permission, role, connection, administrative, and data-access activity in a structured audit trail.

User attribution

Keep identity attached

Associate activity with the Connect AI user responsible, including when downstream systems use shared credentials.

Model + MCP

See AI activity together

Review model requests and MCP tool activity alongside data and administrative events.

Operations

Investigate performance

Use request, session, latency, status, token, model, and connection context to troubleshoot behavior.

SIEM

Fit existing workflows

Forward structured Connect AI events into a SIEM, like Datadog or Splunk, instead of creating a separate monitoring silo.

API + Export

Use the telemetry elsewhere

Pull observability data programmatically for dashboards, investigations, reporting, or your own operational processes.

Controlled, logged, and observable, from end-to-end

Three checks run against every AI-to-data interaction with every step logged and auditable.

Governance in Action
“CData Connect AI serves as our single governed data gateway… every consumer—our BI layer, our internal Claude skills, and our AI agents—queries through the same gateway without holding direct database or API credentials, and permissions are enforced per connection, so read-only sources stay read-only regardless of who or what is asking.”

Director of Business Systems
