AI in a defense program is regulated like an inspection.
Tokto records every prompt your team runs across engineering, program management, and supply chain, ready for the program lead, the GC, DCSA, and State.
Your team starts using a new AI for proposal cleanup this quarter. The program lead asks who validated it, the GC asks about ITAR, the auditor asks about CMMC. No one has a single answer that matches.
What you get with Tokto
- Every AI interaction tied to a program, a contract, a CUI category, and a model version.
- A single record that the program lead, the GC, and the auditor can read against the same evidence.
- Policy at the prompt: ITAR-controlled data blocked, CUI redacted, foreign-person access stopped before tokens leave the boundary.
- AI used at the speed of the program with the record the company needs.
How it works
Tokto sits inside every AI conversation in the program. The co-pilot, the proposal tool, the supplier-shared model — all become records at the moment of use. The record carries the program, the contract, the CUI category, the model, and the policy that applied. Practitioners get the speed; the company gets the trail.
When the program lead asks who used what, when the GC asks about ITAR, when the auditor asks about CMMC, the answer is one query. The team uses AI; the company stays inside the boundary.
What goes wrong without it
- A new tool gets used across two programs before anyone notices. The GC finds out at audit.
- An engineer pastes ITAR-controlled data into a public model. Per-instance enforcement.
- A supplier-shared assistant retains CUI past the contract. The prime reads the news.
- A program's AI cost runs over by 10x in a quarter. Nobody can say where it went.
Public commercial LLMs cannot be used with ITAR-controlled technical data, CUI, or classified-adjacent content under DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST 800-171, and CMMC 2.0 — and a clean CMMC assessment provides no shelter from State Department ITAR enforcement under the Arms Export Control Act. Pasting export-controlled technical data into ChatGPT to clean up a memo is a per-instance ITAR violation. Defense primes have begun requiring proof of an AI control plane before allowing AI tools to touch program data.
