API toolkit vs. governance platform
Pangea: security API toolkit
Pick APIs (Redact, AI Guard, Audit Log) and call them individually. You orchestrate the calls and build the pipeline yourself. Flexible, but the integration burden is on you.
TapPass: unified governance layer
One API gateway. One pipeline. PII, injection, classification, tool governance, and audit, all handled in a single pass. No orchestration code needed.
Build vs. buy the pipeline
With Pangea, you call multiple APIs per request and build the orchestration logic. With TapPass, one proxy handles everything in a single pass.
One pipeline. Everything included. Zero assembly required.
This comparison is about scope, not quality. Detection tools do detection well. TapPass is the layer that decides what an agent may do, holds the calls that need a person, and leaves a record you can hand to an auditor. If you already run Pangea, TapPass sits in front of it rather than replacing it.
