> Understanding model security and guardrail implementations.

## Model guardrails

**Q: Do you put any guardrails before any LLM models?**

By default, we don’t apply any guardrails to LLM models. Our customers can implement guardrails through various methods:

1. **Using built-in options**:
   * Models such as **Llama Guard** provide built-in guardrails.
   * Integration with existing **security frameworks**.

2. **Third-party solutions**:
   * AI gateways like **Portkey** offer guardrails as a feature.
   * Documentation available at: [Portkey Guardrails](https://docs.portkey.ai/docs/product/guardrails)

**Best practices**:

* Implement guardrails appropriate to your **use case**.
* Conduct regular **security audits**.
* Monitor **model outputs** consistently.
* Keep **security policies** updated.
