Governance for Intelligent Systems

Policy enforcement, execution boundaries, and compliance alignment

Purpose

Governance ensures that autonomous agents operate within defined boundaries, comply with regulatory requirements, and align with organizational policies.

LSI governance provides policy enforcement at execution boundaries, authorization mechanisms, compliance verification, and risk management capabilities that enable controlled autonomy while maintaining operational control.

How It Works

Policy Enforcement

Policies are defined at multiple levels—cell, tissue, organ, and organism—and enforced at execution boundaries. Every agent operation is verified against applicable policies before execution.

Policy violations are prevented automatically, logged for audit purposes, and can trigger alerts or remediation actions as configured.

Execution Boundaries

Every agent execution occurs within signed, verified boundaries that enforce resource limits, security constraints, and compliance requirements. Boundaries are cryptographically signed and verified at runtime.

Boundary violations are prevented before execution, ensuring that agents cannot exceed their allocated resources or violate security policies.

Authorization and Compliance

Authorization mechanisms verify that agents have permission to perform requested operations. Compliance verification ensures that operations align with regulatory requirements and organizational policies.

All authorization and compliance decisions are logged and traceable, creating audit trails that demonstrate adherence to governance requirements.

Risk Management

Governance layers provide risk management capabilities that assess the potential impact of agent operations, identify compliance gaps, and recommend remediation actions.

Risk assessments are performed continuously, enabling proactive management of operational and compliance risks before they materialize.

Capabilities

Multi-Level Policy Enforcement

Policies enforced at cell, tissue, organ, and organism levels, ensuring consistent governance across all system layers.

Signed Boundaries

Cryptographically signed execution boundaries that are verified at runtime, preventing policy violations before execution.

Compliance Alignment

Built-in compliance frameworks that align with regulatory requirements, reducing compliance risk and accelerating procurement.

Control Surfaces

Operational control surfaces that enable oversight, policy updates, and risk management without disrupting system operations.

Outcomes

LSI governance enables organizations to deploy autonomous systems with controlled autonomy, ensuring that agents operate within defined boundaries, comply with regulatory requirements, and align with organizational policies.
