Your AI agents are already acting — mostly without enforced controls
Policies live in documents, not at runtime. Agents call tools, move data, and ship outputs faster than any human can review, and a growing share of AI activity — local agents, IDE copilots, shadow AI — never routes through a proxy where it could be seen. The result is a confidence gap: leaders believe their policies hold, but the controls aren't actually enforced where the action happens.
86% of enterprises don't enforce access policies for their AI identities, and only 14.4% of agents reach production with security approval — while the EU AI Act (enforceable from 2 August 2026) carries fines up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.
Governance enforced at the moment of action
AI Agent Governance moves control from paper to runtime. Every agent action is checked against your security and regulatory frameworks and your own approved business policy before it runs — then allowed, warned, blocked, or escalated to the right person for sign-off.
Checked before it runs
Each tool call, data access, export and deployment is evaluated against policy and law in a single pass — not audited after the fact.
Humans in the loop on what matters
Low-risk actions pass instantly; risky ones are warned, blocked or routed for approval — fail-open on reads, fail-closed on writes.
Provable, exportable compliance
An immutable per-action log captures intent, the control that fired, the verdict and the reviewer outcome — exportable as execution-level evidence.
From policy on paper to control at runtime
- Discover shadow AI — every tool your people use, sanctioned or not, ranked by risk.
- Enforce at both the endpoint and the gateway, so you govern what a proxy can't see.
- Check every action against the approved policy version, never a stale draft.
- Strip PII and secrets, and block prompt injection and jailbreaks, on every request and response.
- Track and cap AI spend per agent, team and model, with alerts and hard stops.
- Generate EU AI Act evidence automatically — the exact action prevented and the control that fired.
The EU AI Act becomes enforceable for general-purpose and high-risk AI in August 2026, with fines up to €35M or 7% of global turnover. AI Agent Governance gives you an immutable, exportable record of every governed action — turning an audit into a download instead of a fire drill.
