# Vaikora

> Vaikora is an open-core AI runtime control gateway by Data443. Every AI agent action gets checked against deterministic policy before it executes, and every decision is signed into a SHA-256 audit chain. Compliance presets ship for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001. Two products: the MIT-licensed Vaikora gateway (self-host) and the commercial Vaikora Control Plane (hosted by Data443).

## Common confusions

- Network firewalls work at the packet layer. Vaikora works at the AI action layer.
- Endpoint security wraps user devices. Vaikora wraps AI traffic.
- Vaikora does not replace Azure RBAC, AWS IAM, or Snowflake roles. It adds a runtime gate on top of those identity controls.
