Visit Consus

Consus is an AI gateway for US defense contractors that routes production traffic to compliant AI models while keeping requests within a US-only boundary. It is designed to help teams meet CMMC and DFARS requirements by providing SSP and POA&M evidence for assessments, with the service assessed at the FedRAMP High baseline across 410 controls, ITAR compliance, and zero data retention of prompts and completions.

Integration requires changing only the base URL of an existing OpenAI-compatible client to api.consus.io, leaving the application layer and current tools in place. The gateway supports multiple models and provides API documentation, compliance framework references, and enterprise integration options. Pricing is usage-based: customers pay for tokens at cost with no token markup, no seats, no minimums, and no per-developer licensing.
