Guarded

Guarded

Apply your organization’s rules across prompts, responses, files, and agent workflows. Guarded connects local enforcement, human approval, and decision evidence.

Connect the rule, the source, and the person responsible for the outcome. Make every consequential decision reviewable.

Decision cycle

01
A civilian cybersecurity team works through ideas together at a whiteboard beside computer workstations.

Understand

Establish which systems, people, and information flows are in scope. Connect relevant activity to the context the deployment is authorized to observe.

02
Civilian emergency operations staff and Space Launch Delta 45 personnel discuss procedures around a conference table.

Decide

Return an actionable disposition: allow, allow with controls, block, escalate, or indeterminate. Keep the decision owner and next step explicit.

03
Civilian and uniformed cyber specialists take part in a collaborative tabletop exercise in a wood-paneled planning room.

Learn

Give greater weight to records with observed results while keeping the difference between tested and proposed lessons visible.

The governed AI runtime.

Features

Observe

A uniformed test engineer and a civilian developer review integration results across several computer monitors.

Establish which systems, people, and information flows are in scope. Connect relevant activity to the context the deployment is authorized to observe.

Assess

A software engineer works at a desktop computer.

Evaluate the request against the applicable rules, mission conditions, and source evidence. Preserve uncertainty and distinguish conflicting requirements.

Decide

Network cables connect racks of computing equipment.

Return an actionable disposition: allow, allow with controls, block, escalate, or indeterminate. Keep the decision owner and next step explicit.

Explain

Colleagues work together around laptops in an office.

Record the rule, decisive facts, review, and conditions behind the outcome. Make the record useful for both immediate action and later learning.

One governed workflow

Broadcast engineers monitor studio systems from a control room.
