1. Product Positioning
LLM Security Gateway is a unified security entry point and governance console for enterprise LLM access. It sits between business applications, developer platforms, and model providers, and centralizes model access, organization and project ownership, API key management, quotas and costs, security policies, intent detection, request auditing, and operational analytics.
The product does not replace the underlying models. Its purpose is to provide a manageable, auditable, and traceable control plane when multiple teams, model providers, and applications share LLM capabilities, helping enterprises transition model invocation from “scattered access” to “centralized governance.”
| Core value | Description |
|---|
| Unified access | Bring providers, models, and calling entry points into one configuration and observability layer |
| Access governance | Define calling boundaries through organizations, projects, users, roles, API keys, and client sources |
| Security review | Correlate security checks, intent detection, policy hits, and request context in one audit path |
| Cost visibility | Use token, request, cost, budget, and quota views to support resource management |
| Troubleshooting | Investigate abnormal requests through request_id, model, channel, user, time, and status evidence |
2. Business Context and Problems Solved
Enterprises adopting multiple LLM services often face fragmented key management, inconsistent calling conventions, unclear cost attribution, security findings without context, difficult failure investigation, and duplicated governance work across teams. LLM Security Gateway addresses these issues through a unified console and a consistent audit data path.
| Business issue | Product response |
|---|
| Model-provider configuration is fragmented | Centralized management of channels, model catalog, provider status, and pricing information |
| API keys are hard to map to teams or projects | Organizations, projects, users, roles, and API keys establish clear ownership |
| Security findings lack reviewable evidence | Security, intent, and request audits show policy, risk, user, source, and request context |
| Token usage and cost are hard to control | Quota, budget, cost trend, and multidimensional usage views support management |
| Failures and unusual growth are hard to locate | Request logs, system logs, traces, and dashboards support investigation |
3. Intended Users and Responsibilities
| User role | Primary concerns | Common capabilities |
|---|

4. Operating Model
4.1 Request Governance Data Path
The product builds a consistent data path around each model request:
Business application / client
-> API key
-> Project
-> Organization
-> User / role
-> Unified access layer
-> Security policy / intent detection
-> Model channel / model
-> Request log / audit log / tokens and costs / operations dashboard
This path keeps organization, project, user, API key, request source, and detection result consistent across lists, details, filters, and export scopes where available. Administrators and audit personnel can start from any dimension and cross-check evidence through request_id, API key, project, user, or model information.
4.2 Core Objects
| Object | Description | Main use |
|---|

| Project | Business system, application, or team workspace | Owns API keys, requests, costs, and quotas |
| User and role | Console operator and permission set | Controls page access, operations, and accountability |
| API key | Credential used by applications to call model services | Binds project, quota, status, and usage records |
| Client source | Calling application, client, or environment | Helps identify source, abnormal access, and ownership |
| Model channel | Connection to a provider or model service | Maintains base URL, status, probe result, and supported models |
| Model catalog | Callable models with capabilities, pricing, and tags | Supports selection, cost estimation, and traffic analysis |
| Security policy | Content-safety, intent, and access-control rules | Defines detection logic, risk levels, and handling basis |
| Request record | Status, time, model, and context for a single call | Supports tracing, troubleshooting, auditing, and analytics |

8. Interface Examples
The following screenshots illustrate the information hierarchy and console interface style of the main pages.
8.1 Operations Overview

The operations overview aggregates requests, tokens, costs, success rate, risks, and trends. It helps assess overall system health, recent changes, and areas that need deeper investigation.
8.2 Organization and Project Governance


Organization and project pages maintain resource ownership. Projects serve as the key connection point between API keys, requests, quotas, costs, and audit evidence, establishing clear hierarchical relationships between organizations, projects, users, and keys.
8.3 Models and API Keys


The model page shows the model catalog, provider relationships, capability tags, and traffic trends. The API key page shows credential status, project ownership, access scope, and usage information, making it a primary entry point for access governance and troubleshooting.
8.4 Quotas and Billing


Quota and billing pages are used to view budget pools, token usage, cost trends, and cost attribution.
8.5 Security, Intent, and Request Audits



Audit pages are designed for security, operations, and platform administrators. Users can review requests by risk level, intent type, request status, model, channel, organization, project, user, and source, and open request details for supporting evidence.
9. Typical Use Cases
| Use case | Operating path | Outcome |
|---|
| Connect a new business application | Create an organization or project, configure a model channel, create an API key, and set quota and permissions | The application receives a unified calling entry point while the platform retains ownership and audit data |
| Maintain model channels | Review the model catalog, channel status, probe results, pricing, and traffic trends | Administrators understand provider availability and model usage |
| Review a high-risk request | Start from security audit or intent audit, filter by risk level, then inspect request details and context | Security staff obtain evidence about policy hits, user, source, and handling status |
| Investigate abnormal cost | Locate cost movement from billing or the efficiency dashboard, then drill down by project, model, user, or key | Resource owners confirm the source of spending and adjust quota or budget |
| Troubleshoot call failures | Search request audit by status, time, model, or request_id, then correlate system logs | Operators identify failure scope, channel status, and affected applications |
