Understanding Badges vs Plans
Your subscription plan (Launch/Scale/Trust) unlocks features, modes, and quotas. Your governance badge reflects what mode your system is actually running right now. A Trust customer running Shadow mode will show a Bronze badge until they enable enforcement. Learn more about how badges work or visit our Trust Center.

Latency & SLA Information
Typical P95 enforcement latency varies by LLM vendor, prompt size, and retry strategy:
- Single-model enforcement: <500ms (P95) for most operations
- 3-model Quorum consensus: 2-5 seconds (models run in parallel)
- 5-model Quorum consensus: 3-7 seconds (high-risk operations)
SLAs: Trust tier includes custom SLAs for uptime (99.9%+), support response (1-4 hour), and evidence delivery. Scale tier operates on best-effort basis with no SLA guarantees.

Bring Your Own LLM (BYO-LLM)
Provider Freedom
IOA Cloud works with any LLM provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Cohere, or self-hosted models. You control the API keys, provider routing, and costs.
How It Works
Configure your provider endpoints in the IOA console. We route requests through your keys and only see anonymized metadata (prompt length, response time, policy results). Your prompts and completions never touch our infrastructure.
Cost Structure
You pay your LLM provider directly (e.g., $0.01-0.06 per 1k tokens). IOA charges only for governance overhead (enforcement, evidence generation, storage). Full BYO-LLM documentation →

Designed for organizations requiring advanced governance, compliance, and dedicated infrastructure. Enterprise solutions include private tenancy options, industry-specific regulatory cartridges, and comprehensive support with tailored SLAs. Typical deployments range from $120,000 to $400,000+ annually based on requirements.
Infrastructure Options
- Dedicated cloud instances

Understanding Governance Badges
Badges show your runtime governance posture, not your subscription tier
Bronze
Shadow Mode
Policies observe and log activity without blocking. Ideal for pilots and sandbox trials.
Silver
Enforce Mode
Policies actively block or allow with signed evidence. Non-regulated environments.
Gold
Consensus Mode
Multi-LLM voting with quorum weights. Dissent recorded for audit trails.
Platinum
Federated Mode
Distributed governance across org boundaries. Limited availability, restricted edition.
Important: Badges reflect runtime posture, not subscription tier. An Enterprise account can show Bronze while testing in Shadow mode.

Common questions about IOA Cloud pricing and features
Data ownership & residency
You own all your data, evidence bundles, and governance artifacts. IOA Cloud stores evidence in your chosen region (US, EU, or Asia-Pacific) with end-to-end encryption. Evidence bundles are cryptographically signed for tamper-evidence and can be exported at any time. We never train models on your data or use it for any purpose other than providing the service.
Switching plans & overages
You can upgrade or downgrade plans at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle. If you exceed your monthly request quota, requests are rate-limited (not blocked) and you'll receive an email notification. You can purchase overage packs ($10 per 10k requests) or upgrade to a higher tier.
BYO-LLM keys & costs
IOA Cloud pricing covers governance infrastructure only. You bring your own LLM API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cohere, etc.) and get billed directly by LLM providers for model usage. Our pricing includes policy enforcement, evidence generation, storage, and platform features. For Enterprise customers, we can provide managed LLM access with volume pricing.
Regulated cartridges availability (Enterprise)
Regulated cartridges (Financial Services, Healthcare/HIPAA, EU AI Act) are available on Enterprise plans starting at $25k/year. These cartridges include industry-specific policies, compliance frameworks, and certification support. Pricing varies by cartridge, region, and SLA requirements. Contact our sales team for a customized quote based on your regulatory needs.
SOC 2, ISO certifications & trust center
IOA Cloud is SOC 2 Type II certified and ISO 27001 compliant. Our trust center (trust.orchintel.com) provides real-time status, compliance reports, and governance badge explanations. Enterprise customers receive quarterly compliance reports and can request penetration test results under NDA.
Understanding Badges vs Plans
Two separate systems working together
Governance Badges
Runtime posture indicator
- Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum
- Reflects actual enforcement mode
- Changes based on real usage
- Not a certification
Example: Trust plan running in Shadow mode shows Bronze badge
Learn about badges →Subscription Plans
Access and quotas
- Launch, Scale, Trust
- Determines available features
- Sets request quotas
- Billing tier
Example: Scale plan unlocks Enforce mode and add-ons
How enforcement works →Your badge reflects how you're using governance, not what you're paying for. This ensures transparency and prevents false compliance claims.
