Enterprise
- Auth / BYOK — You own upstream API keys or IAM roles; Blekline never stores them (sidecar env only).
- Data residency — Align Blekline mask region with upstream; see Multi-region ingress.
- Private deploy — Run ingress sidecar in your VPC; see Deployment.
- EU AI Act — Audit trail + human oversight; see EU AI Act mapping.
- Trust — Metadata-only audit by default; see Trust boundaries.
