Secure AI Gateway

Give Your Team Access to AI – Without Giving Up Control of Your Data

TechnologyWest – Your Local Partner for Secure, Governed AI

Your employees are already using AI. ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini — whether your IT team approved it or not, use of AI is part of how people work today. The question isn’t whether to allow it. It’s whether you have visibility into the use of Ai and control how Ai is used.

TechnologyWest helps Colorado businesses implement a Secure AI Gateway — a governed environment that gives your team access to the AI tools they need while keeping your sensitive data protected, your usage visible, and your compliance intact.

We start with Liminal, Expedient AI CTRL and Netrix the leading AI security gateways built for organizations that need real control over how AI is used — and match each client to the right solution based on their size, infrastructure, and compliance requirements.

THE PROBLEM: SHADOW AI IS ALREADY IN YOUR BUSINESS

Right now, employees across your organization are likely:

Pasting customer proposals, financial details, and internal plans into AI tools you don’t have visibility into or control
Using personal accounts with no central record of what was shared or with which tool was used
Making data decisions you can’t see, audit, or roll back

Most businesses discover this after a compliance question, a client concern, or an audit — not before.

92% of IT leaders believe AI will be implemented in their organizations this year.

Only 11% have actually deployed it in a controlled, governed way.

Blocking AI entirely frustrates staff and pushes usage further into the shadows. Trusting every tool without structure creates compliance exposure and audit risk. There’s a better path.

THE SOLUTION: A SECURE AI GATEWAY FOR YOUR BUSINESS

What Is a Security AI Gateway?

A Secure AI Gateway is a single, managed front door for AI at work. Instead of employees scattering across dozens of consumer tools with business and/or personal accounts, your organization gets one approved, governed environment — with data protection, logging, and policy controls built in.

In practical terms, it gives your team:

One place to use AI safely — a centralized, IT-approved interface for AI tools your staff already wants to use
Data privacy by design — sensitive information is detected, masked, or blocked before it reaches any AI model
Complete visibility — track AI usage across your organization in real time, with audit-grade logging
Policy and compliance alignment — controls mapped to your industry’s regulatory requirements
No vendor lock-in — access multiple AI models, switch as the landscape evolves

TechnologyWest assesses your current environment and recommends the right platform for your needs.

OUR SOLUTION FOR SMALLER TO MIDSIZED BUSINESSES: LIMINAL

Liminal is the AI security platform that solves the problem where it actually exists: at the point where your employees interact with AI.

Most organizations think of AI security as a single tool problem. In reality, employees engage with AI in three distinct ways — and Liminal is the only platform that secures all three simultaneously.

Direct AI model interactions

When employees open ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini directly, Liminal acts as an intermediary layer — detecting sensitive data in prompts in real time, masking or blocking it before submission, and maintaining a complete audit log of every interaction. Employees keep working; sensitive data stays protected.

AI-enabled third-party applications

Microsoft 365 Copilot, Slack AI, and similar tools are already inside your environment. Liminal Streams monitors these interactions via a lightweight desktop agent or browser plugin, intercepting and cleansing prompts before they reach the AI model — without disrupting the user experience.

Custom AI applications your team builds

As your organization develops internal AI-powered tools — retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, chatbots, workflow automations — Liminal provides the governance layer that keeps those applications compliant and auditable from day one.

AI Maturity Pathway

How It Works

Eliminate Shadow AI
Deploy one governed AI Securie Gateway that your whole team uses. No more employees pulling in their own tools, personal accounts, or unapproved browser extensions.

Gain Full Visibility
See exactly how AI is being used across your organization — who’s accessing it, which models, and for what purpose — with real-time reporting and compliance-grade logging built in.

Connect Your Business Safely
Link your internal data — ERP, CRM, file storage, and more — through a secure integration layer, so your team gets AI that understands your business without exposing sensitive information to public models.

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: MATCHING THE RIGHT SOLUTION TO YOUR NEEDS

Not every organization has the same starting point. Depending on your infrastructure, budget, and AI maturity, TechnologyWest also partners with two additional platforms that extend or complement a Liminal deployment.

Expedient AI CTRL

For organizations that want a private-cloud AI Gateway with multi-model access

AI CTRL is a professional AI gateway built on Expedient’s private cloud infrastructure. It’s well-suited for organizations that want to consolidate AI access into a single governed Gateway — with access to 45+ AI models, FinOps reporting, and an optional agentic workflow engine for automating business processes.

Best fit for: Larger organizations ready to eliminate shadow AI and stand up a centralized, multi-model AI environment — particularly those considering private cloud hosting for AI workloads.

Key capabilities:

Access to 45+ AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA, Perplexity, and more) in one interface
Data integration platform — connect ERP, CRM, and file stores to AI securely
FinOps and utilization reporting
Private model hosting on Expedient infrastructure
Agentic workflow engine for AI-driven automation

AI CTRL a fully managed, enterprise-grade artificial intelligence platform designed for larger organizations to simplify secure AI adoption, governance, and multi-model access.

Netrix Global AI Governance

For Microsoft 365 organizations that need AI governance built into their existing stack

Netrix Global helps organizations define, implement, and evolve a GenAI governance model that ensures safe, ethical, and compliant AI use — without slowing innovation. Their approach is built on the Microsoft security stack, making it the natural fit for organizations already running Microsoft 365, Azure, and Copilot.

Best fit for: Organizations heavily invested in the Microsoft ecosystem that need AI governance woven into their existing Purview, DLP, and compliance infrastructure — rather than a separate AI gateway.

Key capabilities:

Microsoft Purview integration to scan, classify, and catalog data touched by AI — ensuring visibility and control. Advanced DLP rules to prevent exposure of sensitive information entering or generated from AI models
GenAI governance policy development aligned to HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and other frameworks
AI usage audit trails and SIEM integration
Employee training and responsible AI adoption programs

Netrix is the right conversation when your organization is already Microsoft-first and wants AI governance embedded in that ecosystem rather than layered on top.

How TechnologyWest Approaches Use of Ai in Your Business

We assess first. Every engagement starts with a free AI security assessment — a structured review of how AI is currently being used in your organization, where your exposure is, and what governance gaps exist. No assumptions. No one-size-fits-all recommendations.

We match the right solution. Based on your infrastructure, compliance requirements, and AI maturity, we recommend the platform — or combination of platforms — that fits. Most clients start with Liminal. Some add AI CTRL for a private-cloud workspace. Microsoft-heavy organizations often benefit most from a Netrix-led approach.

DOWNLOAD WHITE PAPER

Generative AI is rapidly becoming part of everyday business, but its accessibility and power introduce a new class of security and privacy challenges. In “Ensuring Security in the Era of Generative AI,” Liminal examines what organizations need to consider as employees increasingly turn to AI tools—often before formal policies, training, or safeguards are in place.

The paper highlights three critical areas of risk: regulatory and compliance exposure, leakage of sensitive data and intellectual property, and reputational damage from inappropriate or problematic AI-generated content. Liminal’s research is particularly striking in showing how quickly employee adoption is outpacing organizational readiness: 64% of respondents report using generative AI at work at least weekly, while more than half of users say they are doing so without formal approval.
