Top Level Compliance Summary

Active

Zero Data Retention

Prompts and completions never persist

Nothing you send through Consus is stored, by us or by the model provider. Zero data retention is in place with every upstream model provider, and only operational metadata (model, tokens, timestamps) is logged.

Active

ITAR Compliant

Export-controlled by design

The controls ITAR requires are built into how Consus runs: US persons only in the data plane (120.54(a)(5)), US-only cloud regions, and access that is logged and reviewed. Customers remain the registered exporter for their technical data.

Active

FedRAMP Equivalent

Assessed at the FedRAMP High baseline

DFARS [252.204-7012](https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfars/html/current/252204.htm#:~:text=D,-\)%C2%A0%20If%20the%20Contractor) requires any cloud that handles your CUI to meet FedRAMP Moderate or its equivalent ([DoD memo](https://dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0/Documents/Library/FEDRAMP-EquivalencyCloudServiceProviders.pdf)). Although only Moderate is required, we worked with our 3PAO and assessed all 410 FedRAMP **High** controls. The body of evidence for your CMMC assessor is available under NDA.
