Security & governance

Authority is designed. Never assumed.

An agent’s ability to propose an action is different from its authority to execute it. Establish that boundary before connecting production systems.

Discuss your requirements

Limit access and execution.

Define the identities, data and tools needed for each workflow. Separate read access from write authority and review permissions as the work changes.

  • Least-privilege identities and scoped tools
  • Policy checks before consequential actions
  • Access review and removal at handover

Keep people in control.

Use source evidence and evaluation results to decide where automation is appropriate. Confidence alone is not authorization. Missing evidence or a failed check should stop or escalate the work.

  • Named reviewers and approval boundaries
  • Recorded decisions and action trails
  • Controlled refusal, escalation and rollback

Agree deployment-specific controls.

Data residency, retention, encryption, model access and hosting depend on the environment. Assess cloud, private or sovereign requirements before proposing an architecture. Availability and compliance must be confirmed for the specific project.

  • Provider and deployment feasibility review
  • Data classification and retention requirements
  • Incident ownership and support scope

Questions before the next step.
