AI agents can act.Sovarch decides what they’re allowed to do.
When autonomous agents touch records, identity services, and operational systems, observation isn’t enough. Sovarch enforces deterministic policy before execution — with human approval, targeted containment, and evidence for every decision.
Traditional security sees the aftermath. Agent governance has to see the intention.
Shadow agent sprawl
Which agents exist? Which tools do they call? What scopes and destinations do they actually use? A complete registry must precede enforcement.
Credential ≠ permission
An identity may be valid while a request is unsafe. A notes assistant should not silently gain the authority to move money or change orders.
Logs are not a checkpoint
Detection after an action is insufficient for high-stakes work. Policy must run before execution, and its decisions must be auditable.
Five functions. One deterministic boundary.
Interposed between agents and the systems they act on. Read-only observation first; controlled enforcement only when authorized.
Inventory
Agents, credentials, destinations, declared scope, and shadow identities.
Policy
Deterministic trigger → response logic with risk context. No model in the path.
Human gates
Named human review for high-risk actions before release.
Containment
Block → revoke credentials → isolate at the configured tier.
Evidence
Hash-chained decisions, timestamps, and verifiable action history.
Deterministic code enforces. AI only advises.
Enforcement is a pure function. You can't jailbreak a rule that never calls a model.
Your people approve, deny, and investigate high-risk actions — the product's whole point.
Monitor, restrict, quarantine, or disable an agent in one move; the gateway enforces it from that moment.
SHA-256 hash chain over every decision. Break a link and the record says so.
Your agents call one endpoint and get a decision back. Scoped API keys, per tenant.
Authority should be engineered, not assumed.
Sovarch Govern is a tested reference engine advancing toward authorized pilots — not a deployed system. Sovarch Defend is a planned AI-native defense line, not yet shipping. The architecture begins with one promise: human authority above autonomous agents.
