Launch HN: Consus (YC F24) – LLM gateway for companies handling sensitive data

Consus, a new YC-backed startup, has launched an LLM gateway that enables aerospace and defense companies to safely use AI tools while maintaining compliance with ITAR and CUI data protection regulations. The platform routes AI requests through a FedRAMP High-compliant infrastructure, allowing organizations to access frontier models across multiple cloud providers through a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint with built-in policy enforcement. This addresses a critical gap where defense contractors have largely avoided AI adoption due to security and compliance concerns that Consus aims to eliminate.
