Coverage & connections

Three layers.
One Guardian Agent Platform.

Start with devices. Add cloud services and your own applications to the same inventory and policy model.

Devices

Local evidence and supported endpoint controls.

Collect
AI inventory, accounts, access, usage and device posture
Act
Supported allow, warn, redact, block and approval actions
Deploy
macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and servers; signal and control coverage varies by environment

Cloud

Read-only AI discovery across connected accounts.

Collect
AI services, exposure, safety configuration, usage and cost
Examples
Google Cloud agents and Vertex AI endpoints today; Amazon Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry are planned
Account paths
Google Cloud today; AWS and Azure planned. Confirm the services covered by each connection
Boundary
Discovery and evaluation; do not assume endpoint guardrails apply to every cloud interaction

Applications

Evidence from the software your team builds.

Collect
Model calls, agent runs, tool calls and MCP calls
SDKs
Python, TypeScript, Rust and Go
Boundary
Prompt and response content excluded unless explicitly enabled
Evaluate the action you actually need.

Discovery support does not imply identical enforcement support. Confirm the tool, operating system and interaction—especially application launch prevention or removal. Removing an installed application requires an administrator.

The working view

From a device.
To a decision.

Three capabilities of one platform, built on the same evidence: Surface, Monitor and Govern. Explore the views your teams use to discover, investigate and act.

Find the unregistered. Discover supported tools without a self-reported inventory.

Connect the context. Join tools, devices, accounts, projects and usage.

Keep the reason. Every verdict stays tied to its evidence and policy.

01 / Surface

Know what’s on
your devices.

Discover supported tools, agents and models alongside the accounts, credentials and device posture that change their risk.

21published signals
across seven groups

More than a software list.

Connect a tool to its account type, declared MCP access, repository context and security posture. Discovery reports that a key exists; the secret value is discarded.

Signal availability varies by operating system and tool. Declared connections describe configuration, not proof that every resource was accessed.

02 / Monitor

Make AI spend understandable.

Follow available usage and cost back to tools, models, employees, projects and devices. Investigate a change before deciding what it means.

The attribution path
Usage recordsTokens · sessions · model
Connected contextTool · person · project · device
A cost you can investigateSource record + available pricing
Usage + cost + business outcomes → value review
  • Attribute the consumption

    See cost by tool, model, person, project and machine where source records support the attribution.

  • Keep gaps visible

    Unpriced models and unavailable records should remain visible, rather than disappearing into a misleading total.

  • Understand access and autonomy

    Investigate configured unattended operation, personal versus work accounts and declared repository or MCP access.

  • Separate volume from value

    Use the evidence to examine possible waste. Assess ROI alongside time saved, work completed and other outcomes.

What the numbers mean

Token-cost attribution is source-dependent. It is not automatically a full subscription bill, employee productivity score or automatic ROI calculation.

03 / Govern

Your rules.
Applied where AI runs.

Apply versioned company policy. Use local controls on supported interactions, and give the resulting findings an owner and a traceable record.

Explore a policy actionChoose an outcome
Supported AI interactionPrompt contains sensitive data
Company policyVersion retained
Blocked at the boundary

The supported request is stopped according to policy. The decision remains connected to the rule.

Personally identifiable information (PII) · secrets · sensitive promptsCheck coverage ↓

Version the policy. An edit publishes a new version and re-evaluates the fleet without rewriting old verdicts.

Own the finding. Assign an owner, due date and status; track it through remediation and review.

Choose the right action. Blocking an interaction is different from preventing launch or uninstalling an application.

Framework mappings for reviews
SOC 2EU AI ActISO/IEC 42001NIST AI RMFGDPR

Framework mappings support assessment and evidence work. They do not certify your organisation or guarantee compliance.

Evidence & accountability

Keep the decision.
And what led to it.

Evidence, policy version, verdict and owner remain connected. Review what was true at the time, even after a policy changes.

A finding, through timeHistory preserves the applicable rule
  1. 01ObservationAgent configured
    to run unattended

    Device and repository context enter the evidence record.

  2. 02Policy evaluationNamed approval
    is missing

    The finding points to the exact policy version used.

  3. 03RemediationAn owner takes
    the next step

    Assignment, state and resolution remain reviewable.

  4. 04Review & exportThe record keeps
    its context

    Export evidence with its decision history and policy reference.

History that explains change.

Store verdict transitions and immutable policy versions. Changing a rule does not rewrite the past.

Retention you can manage.

Nightly evidence export to object storage, configurable retention and deletion workflows support longer-term records.

Findings reach your workflow.

Carry verdicts and policy versions into chat, ticketing, SIEM and warehouse destinations.

✓ Pass× Fail! Warn· Info— Unknown○ Not applicable

Missing evidence remains unknown. Missing policy remains ungraded. Neither is silently treated as a pass.

Rollout & reliability

Start with a pilot.
Expand with confidence.

Choose your connection and data boundary. Roll out through existing fleet processes, with reporting status visible along the way.

Start with one machine

Enrol. Inspect. Decide.

Install the agent, claim the device in your console and review the first inventory. Use the pilot to confirm the signals and controls your team needs.

  1. Install the agent
  2. Claim the device
  3. Review its evidence
The agent’s evidence path

  2. 02Build bounded evidenceOne failed check reports unknown; the remaining checks continue.
  3. 03Save before deliveryEvidence lands locally first and queues through interruptions.
  4. 04Deliver securelyAuthenticated delivery, deduplication and per-device credentials support fleet operation.
Hosted

Your team. Our hosted console.

Start with the hosted platform and connect the sources you need.

Self-hosted, by arrangement

Your infrastructure. Your boundary.

Run the console, API and worker with your database and object storage. Discuss residency, controlled updates and air-gapped deployment with the team.

Discuss self-hosting ↗
Privacy & enterprise foundations

Evidence with clear boundaries.

Understand what discovery collects, what it excludes and which additional collection settings require an explicit choice.

Key presence, without the secret.

Credential values are discarded on the device before discovery evidence is stored.

Repository context, without source code.

Identify repository owner/name and bounded file context without collecting source-code contents.

Conversation collection is off by default.

Prompts, responses and transcripts require explicit administrator enablement; review the scope before rollout.

Discovery observes the device.

Inventory does not execute discovered tools. Collection excludes precise location and personal account IDs.

An organisation-scoped data model.

Tenant-scoped access connects devices, accounts, tools and findings within your organisation.

Inspect before you deploy.

Review the published signals, privacy boundaries and deployment documentation with your security team.

Surface is a separate open-source local inspection tool. The enterprise platform adds connected inventory, policy, workflows and evidence.

The feature index

All the details.
Easy to find.

Everything the Guardian Agent Platform does, grouped by capability. Open a group or search for the feature your team needs.

Discovery & inventory04 capabilities

AI inventory

Supported AI tools, coding agents, desktop apps, browser AI, local models and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.

Accounts, keys and projects

Account type, credential presence, declared repository access and project context are connected to devices.

Searchable fleet views

Inspect devices, tools, MCP servers, accounts, credentials and connected cloud APIs. Filter and export inventory.

21 device signals

Seven signal groups combine AI use with device facts and security posture. Individual collection support varies by environment.

Activity, access & spend04 capabilities

Sanction and autonomy

Distinguish sanctioned, undecided and unsanctioned tools; inspect configured unattended operation and pre-approved access.

Usage attribution

Connect available token and cost records to tool, model, project, person and machine; unpriced models remain visible.

Fleet health and events

Reporting, deliberately paused and silent devices are distinct. Track changes, events, findings and items needing attention.

Value assessment

Use consumption evidence in waste investigations and ROI reviews alongside business outcomes. Usage alone does not establish waste or productivity.

Policy & enforcement04 capabilities

Versioned company policy

Immutable policy versions and fleet re-evaluation keep each verdict attached to the rule that produced it. Rules include allowed MCP hosts and reporting cadence.

Local controls

Allow, warn, redact, block or require approval on supported AI interactions. Guardrails act locally; an administrator approves app removal.

Framework mappings

Published rule packages support SOC 2, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF and GDPR reviews. Mappings do not confer certification or guarantee compliance.

Remediation ownership

Assign an owner, due date and state; retain the decisions and resolution history behind each finding.

Evidence & platform foundation05 capabilities

Traceable history

Preserve policy versions and verdict transitions. Missing evidence stays unknown, and a missing policy stays ungraded.

Export and retention

Nightly evidence projection to object storage, configurable retention and deletion workflows keep records manageable.

Connected entity model

Device, tool, agent, MCP server, account, credential, repository, usage, policy, finding, control and event context share one model.

Reliable ingestion

Authenticated, idempotent ingestion, deduplication and redaction before storage. Device evidence is saved locally before delivery and queued through interruptions.

Organisation isolation

Tenant-scoped data access and live console updates keep the organisation’s evidence connected and current.

Connections & workflows04 capabilities

Cloud discovery

Read-only discovery of supported cloud AI inventory, exposure, safety configuration, usage and cost.

Application SDKs

Python, TypeScript, Rust and Go ingest model calls, agent runs, tool calls and MCP calls. Prompt/response content is excluded unless explicitly enabled.

Outbound integrations

Send verdicts and their policy versions into chat, ticketing, SIEM and warehouse workflows. Confirm the destination you need during evaluation.

Console workspaces

Home, Surfaces, Monitoring, Events and Governance, with Instruments, Integrations and Settings for inputs, outputs and administration.

Deployment & privacy06 capabilities

Device and fleet rollout

Claim-code enrolment, native packages, fleet secrets, managed configuration and tools such as Intune, Jamf and SCCM.

Device credentials

Per-device credentials, rotation, controlled release versions and a deliberate pause for rollout management.

Hosted or self-hosted

Use the hosted console or arrange deployment on your infrastructure. Self-hosted options include controlled updates and air-gapped environments.

Bounded discovery

Secret values are discarded on the endpoint, source-code contents are not collected, and discovered tools are not executed for inventory.

Collection controls

Prompt, response and transcript collection is off by default and requires an explicit administrator choice. Collection excludes precise location and personal account IDs.

Open-source inspection

Surface is a separate open-source tool for inspecting local AI signals before evaluating the enterprise platform.
