Could you build this?
No Building an enterprise-grade AI proxy with real-time DLP, regulatory compliance (EU AI Act), low-latency PII detection, and secure MCP gateway integration requires deep enterprise security and high-performance networking expertise.
What it would actually take: A viable platform needs a high-throughput, ultra-low-latency API gateway (often written in Go or Rust/Envoy) capable of inspecting streaming LLM payloads. The core difficulties are low-latency contextual PII/secret redaction, enterprise identity federation (SAML/SCIM), strict compliance audit logging, and secure sandbox execution for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
