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 banks, insurers, healthcare, and government environments require different architecture
Regulated environments prohibit inbound vendor access and unmanaged model calls from protected segments.
Validation must run locally with policies your auditors recognize.
No direct internet access
Protected applications do not call external AI at runtime. Intelligence may plan elsewhere; execution uses signed capsules inside the enclave.
Outbound-only updates are policy-controlled.
Signed test capsules
Capsules are immutable, versioned packages with manifests, hashes, and approval records.
Ad hoc scripts are not promoted to production enclaves.
Local runners
Edge runners execute browsers, APIs, and desktop checks locally, storing evidence in customer-controlled stores.
Edge runner documentation covers deployment modes.
Bank/customer-controlled transfer boundary
A gateway verifies signatures, enforces policy, stages capsules, and logs transfers, without inbound holes.
Transfers are auditable events, not silent syncs.
Local evidence store
Screenshots, logs, and reports remain local by default.
Representative scenario: regulated advisory services environment keeps audit bundles on-prem.
Sanitized egress
Optional redacted or metadata-only egress supports central dashboards when full artifacts cannot leave.
Egress requires explicit approval workflows.
PAM and secrets
Credentials broker at execution via PAM integrations; long-lived secrets are not stored in vendor SaaS.
Align with enterprise secret rotation policies.
Audit trails
Every capsule promotion, run, and approval is queryable for examinations.
Export formats should match your GRC tooling.
Human approval
Remediation and capsule promotion require named approvers.
No fully autonomous production fixes.
Local execution workers
Workers run signed capsules inside the protected segment. No requirement for protected apps to call external AI services at runtime.
Pair with edge runners for distributed sites.
Restricted outbound communication
Where connectivity exists, it is outbound-only and policy-controlled—for capsule updates or approved telemetry, never inbound to your apps.
Air-gap-adjacent pilots may use manual capsule transfer.
Evidence sanitization
Redaction runs before any optional egress. Field masks and screenshot policies apply per workflow.
See secure enclave deployment diagrams.
Deployment modes
Modes include conservative pilot (manual capsule import), controlled internal automation, private cloud control plane, and fully on-prem, same governance model, different placement.
