APERION is the Trust Fabric for enterprise AI. Smartflow sits inline between your agents and every model. Security enforces policy on each prompt, response, and tool call. Finance meters, routes, caches, and holds the keys on the same wire. One deployment closes both problems. The savings fund the platform.

FOR THE CISO

Inline enforcement on every prompt, response, and MCP tool call. Identity-bound evidence a regulator will accept.

FOR THE CFO

Spend metered from business unit to individual. Routing, caching, and key custody that pay for the deployment.

Smartflow runs the runtime. Shield guards the tools. The record proves what happened. Cross-provider. Nothing phones home.

A high-risk agent action is held in place until a verified human clears biometric step-up, so sensitive operations never proceed on trust alone.

The Trust Fabric

APERION governs your AI agents on top of the identity and security you already run.

APERION governs your AI agents on top of the identity and security you already run.

Your identity and security stack was built for people. Agents are not people. They act on a person’s behalf at machine speed, and the controls that log a human in do not govern what an agent sends to a model or which tool it calls.

APERION adds that layer on top of what you already run: it verifies the human, binds the agent to that human, governs every prompt, response, and tool call, and proves what happened to a regulator. You keep your stack. You gain the agent governance it was never built to provide.

Built for the architecture that is winning.

On-Premises Deployment

Runs in your data center or private cloud. No cloud dependency. No PyPI supply chain risk. No third-party data exposure.

Identity-Aware Governance

Every AI interaction authenticated against your enterprise IdP. Entra ID, LDAP, SAML, OIDC. Per-user audit trails tied to real identities.

Inline Policy Enforcement

No-code compliance engine. Policies enforced before prompts reach any model. EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, FINRA, HIPAA mapping.

Semantic Caching at p95

Four-phase BERT semantic cache. 55–75% hit rates. Published benchmarks from NVIDIA GTC 2026. Not marketing claims.

MCP Proxy Governance

Inline governance for agent-to-agent workflows. As agentic AI proliferates, MCP servers are the new attack surface. Smartflow governs them.

Sub-5ms Overhead

Rust-based infrastructure. Not a Python library adding 20–80ms per request. Infrastructure-grade performance for production workloads.
