Compliance-Ready Solution
It is a brave new world of information compliance. While we have mostly thought of a network firewall and a WAF (web application firewall) as keeping the “bad things out”, now more than ever we need to keep the “good things in”. Your expertise and insights are being exchanged for access to the AI as a Service (LLM’s as a Service) company’s knowledgebase and inference engines. This can enable and accelerate employee efforts but can go too far in disclosing your business information. Alternatively, the response from an LLM might be directionally correct, but not appropriate for customers. When that happens how do you audit? When it happens how do you observe? And in some cases, how do you prevent?
Core Capabilities
You are on the journey to using federated inference – distributed AI, incorporating public LLM as a Service providers, industry partner knowledgebases, and your own local AIs. Cohesive Networks is committed to enabling this path for your business.

Compliance & Traceability
WaiF provides demonstrable proof of control and complete conversation logs required by global regulators.
Minimal Interruptions
Implement Governance without changing how your people work. Same user experience. No behaviour change, no VPN friction, no new apps to install. WaiF is designed to run inside your existing network appliances, not as another SaaS platform to procure, another vendor to onboard, and another agent to deploy. It runs where your network already runs, on infrastructure you already control. no endpoint agents or browser extensions required on client devices. Bring your own certificates (or use ours) or use your own corporate proxy.
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.
Why does my organization need WaiF?
Your employees are already using Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Every day. With company data. You have no visibility into what’s being shared, no audit trail, and no way to prove compliance when the regulator asks.
How do I get a license?
WaiF is provided on a solution basis. While it does not need to be intrusive to existing operations, and can be deployed incrementally, ideally it is integrated with your existing security and data analysis systems. It deployment should be done hand-in-hand with your security team, network administrators, and the owners of your data analytics infrastructure.
For organizations that are absent some of the critical elements Cohesive Networks can provide standard approaches for beginning your adoption journey.
Does your solution protect my organization from hackers using LLMs to break into my network?
Not at this time. WaiF is focused on understanding, auditing and controlling the outbound usafe of LLMs – whether by your human staff or agentic harnesses.
