Enterprise guides · governed autonomy
Governed autonomy by default: human authorization for production-impacting remediation, audit evidence, and deployment options from SaaS to secure enclave.
Why enterprises need on-prem options
Data residency, air gaps, and procurement rules require customer-managed infrastructure.
On-prem is an architecture choice, not a downgrade.
Control plane vs execution plane
The control plane hosts policies, graph data, approvals, and scheduling, where policy allows. Execution planes run tests and store evidence inside your network.
Separating planes clarifies security reviews.
