Typort and Cloudflare Zero Trust

Cloudflare Zero Trust is a network gateway: Gateway, Access, CASB and DLP. It is not an AI usage tool.
Use Cloudflare to control the network. Use Typort to see how the team uses AI, and what it is costing.

Runs alongside Cloudflare. No certificate, no network change

Where it sits

Cloudflare Zero Trust

In the network. To inspect HTTPS traffic, Gateway needs TLS decryption and a certificate on each device.

Typort

In the browser, next to the AI tools. A browser extension and a sign in with Microsoft or a work email.

The question it answers

Cloudflare Zero Trust

Who can reach what, which sites load, and what data may leave.

Typort

Who uses AI, what the work is, and what it is costing, per person.

Who reads it

Cloudflare Zero Trust

The IT and security team, in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Typort

Owners, team leaders and finance, on one team page they can read.

What each one is for

They do different jobs. Cloudflare Zero Trust asks "who gets in, and what is allowed through the network?". Typort asks "how is the team using AI, and what is it costing?".

Cloudflare Zero Trust is good at

  • Access: Zero Trust Network Access to the company's internal apps
  • Gateway: a secure web gateway that filters traffic with HTTP policies
  • CASB: scanning SaaS settings for problems such as overly permissive sharing
  • DLP: inspecting traffic, including prompts to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and blocking sensitive ones
  • Shadow IT: a list of the SaaS apps people visit, marked Approved, Unapproved or In review

Typort is good at

  • Who is using AI, how much, and which tools, per person and over time
  • Estimated spend per person, with allowances and warnings
  • A pie of what the team spends its time with AI doing
  • Flags for what went in, and client rules marked broke or close
  • Searching the team's chats and meetings, and asking questions of them with Ask Typort
  • Five plain switches for what the company sees, shown to everyone on their first screen

Use them together

Cloudflare controls the network. Typort shows the AI work. Neither gets in the other's way.

Keep Cloudflare at the network. Access for internal apps, Gateway policies for the web, CASB for SaaS settings, and DLP to block a sensitive prompt before it leaves. That is the control half, and Cloudflare does it well.

Add Typort in the browser. On the AI tools you allow, Typort shows who uses them, what the work is, estimated spend per person against an allowance, and which client's material went where. It needs no change to your Cloudflare setup: no certificate, no routing, no new policy.

One page for the business. The security team keeps the Cloudflare dashboard. Owners and team leaders get adoption, the kind of work, allowances and client rules on one Typort page, without a Cloudflare login.

The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.

What Cloudflare Zero Trust does

From Cloudflare's own documentation.

Gateway and Access. Every plan includes Zero Trust Network Access and a Secure Web Gateway. To inspect HTTPS traffic with HTTP policies, Gateway needs TLS decryption, with a Cloudflare or custom certificate installed on users' devices.

Shadow IT and app scores. Shadow IT SaaS analytics "provides visibility into the SaaS applications your users are visiting", once HTTP filtering is set up, and each app can be marked Approved, Unapproved or In review. Application confidence scorecards rate AI and SaaS apps, including a Generative AI Posture Score.

DLP on AI prompts. AI prompt protection inspects prompts to Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, sorts them into topics such as PII, source code and credentials, and can block sensitive prompts in Gateway HTTP policies. It can optionally log the full prompt for prompts that match a policy.

CASB. Connects to SaaS and cloud APIs to scan for security issues, such as overly permissive sharing settings.

AI Gateway is a separate product. It sits in front of the AI APIs your own apps call, and shows requests, tokens and cost per application, with caching, rate limiting and fallback. Staff chatting on their AI seats do not go through it.

What Cloudflare Zero Trust costs

Free: $0, for teams under 50 users or proof-of-concept tests. Includes ZTNA and the Secure Web Gateway, up to 2 read-only CASB integrations, limited predefined DLP profiles, and logs kept up to 24 hours.

Pay-as-you-go: $7 per user a month. For teams over 50 "solving narrow SSE use cases without enterprise support". Logs kept up to 30 days. Browser isolation is an add-on.

Contract: custom annual price per user. Full-featured DLP and unlimited CASB integrations are add-ons. Logs kept up to 6 months.

What you get

Screens from a sample 16-person agency.

Typort team page for a sample 16-person agency: people using AI this week, what the team spends its time with AI doing, people using AI each week, tool share and allowance warnings

The team page

Who is using AI this week, what the work is, people using AI each week, tool share by AI tool, and allowance warnings for anyone near or over.

What went in across the team over 30 days: client rules broke or close, what kinds of material went in, clients named, and flags

Flags and client rules

What went in across the team: client figures and documents, personal details, passwords and keys. Each chat that broke a client rule, or came close, is listed with the person and the tool.

Admin page with five switches for what the company sees, branding, people and roles, and groups

Five switches

Count usage and spend, AI analysis, keep the chats, let admins and team leaders read chats, keep voice typing. Every opening of a chat is recorded, and everyone sees the switches in plain words. Chats in the AI's own temporary or incognito mode are never collected.

Team search results across chats and meetings, each with the person, the tool and the date

Search the team's work

When the company lets admins and team leaders read chats, one search covers the team's chats and meetings, each with the person, the tool and the date. Ask Typort answers questions in plain words and cites the chats.

FAQ

Is Typort a replacement for Cloudflare Zero Trust?

No. They do different jobs. Cloudflare Zero Trust is a network gateway: it controls who reaches internal apps, filters web traffic, scans SaaS settings and can block sensitive data with DLP. Typort shows how a team uses AI: usage and estimated spend per person, allowances, what the work is, flags and client rules. Many companies will run both.

Is Cloudflare Zero Trust an AI usage tool?

No. It is a network gateway. It can see AI sites in your traffic, list them in Shadow IT, score them, and inspect prompts with DLP. It does not show usage and spend per person, what the work is, or client rules.

What about Cloudflare AI Gateway?

AI Gateway is a separate Cloudflare product for software your company writes. Your apps send their API calls through it, and it shows requests, tokens and cost per application, with caching, rate limiting and fallback. People chatting on their ChatGPT or Claude seats do not go through it.

Can Typort block a prompt?

No. Typort shows what went in after the fact, with flags and client rules marked broke or close. If you need a sensitive prompt stopped before it is sent, Cloudflare DLP in a Gateway HTTP policy can do that.

Which AI tools does Typort see?

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Grok in the browser, through the Typort browser extension. Microsoft 365 Copilot comes in the next extension update, and Gemini is being added. It reads what is on the page, so it works on Business and Team seats and needs no API keys from the AI vendors, no certificate and no network change.

What does Cloudflare Zero Trust cost?

Cloudflare publishes three plans: Free at $0 for teams under 50 users, Pay-as-you-go at $7 per user a month, and Contract at a custom annual price per user.

Are the dollar figures exact?

No, they are estimates from the tokens in each chat at the AI vendor's API list price. They are there to compare people and tools, not to replace the invoice.

What does the team view cost?

The team view runs on Typort's servers. It is free for a limited time and will move to Typort Pro later.
