SDL-HQ/sir-firewall

sir-firewall addresses a specific niche in the LLM security stack: non-repudiable audit trails. While most 'firewalls' (like NeMo Guardrails or Guardrails AI) focus on the detection of malicious prompts, this project focuses on the *proof* of governance via ITGL hash-chains and cryptographic signatures. Despite the interesting technical angle of offline-verifiable compliance, the project has zero stars and zero forks after 130 days, indicating a complete lack of market traction. Its defensibility is currently non-existent because the value of a governance tool is tied to its adoption as a standard or its integration into a broader compliance suite. Frontier labs are unlikely to build this specific cryptographic ledger functionality as it's a 'boring' enterprise compliance requirement, but cloud providers (Azure/AWS) are much more likely to absorb this capability into their existing AI governance consoles. Without a community or ecosystem, the project remains a high-quality reference implementation rather than a viable moat-driven product.
