Make your AI policy work in practice.

Company policy. Local action. Reviewable evidence.

Set rules for AI tools, agent autonomy, connections and sensitive data. Apply supported controls, assign findings and keep the version behind every decision.

How Govern works

From a published rule to a recorded decision.

Policy checks and live request controls work at different moments. Both should explain what was checked, what happened and why.

01Give the fleet a clear rule.
01 / Publish

Give the fleet a clear rule.

Define approved or disallowed tools, permitted agent modes and MCP hosts. Each publish creates a new policy version. Device reports are evaluated against the rules in force.

  • Retain earlier policy versions and who published them
  • Keep disabled rules ungraded
  • A device that cannot be checked stays unknown
02 / Apply

Choose the action that fits.

Allow, warn, redact or block supported AI interactions. Prompt checks can detect secrets and personally identifiable information before a request is sent.

  • Allow approved work to continue
  • Warn or redact when the configured rule calls for it
  • Block a supported request without implying the app was uninstalled
03 / Keep proof

Keep the reason and the owner.

Tie the result to the policy version that produced it. Assign findings, track remediation and retain evidence your security and governance teams can review.

  • Owner, due date and resolution history
  • Policy versions and verdict transitions
  • Evidence packs and export for audit review
Know what an action means

A finding. A control. A removal.

These are different outcomes. Choose the appropriate rule and confirm support for the application and environment you intend to govern.

01

Disallow a tool

Grade its presence against company policy and surface a finding. A disallowed tool can remain installed.

Policy finding
02

Control a request

Apply allow, warn, redact or block on supported interactions. 31 built-in detectors for personal data, secrets and keys, plus your own patterns, in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI and a browser extension for Chromium browsers. Coverage depends on the tool and enforcement path.

Runtime control
03

Remove an application

A blocked-app workflow requests administrative approval before removal. Do not confuse it with blocking one prompt. Kill switches halt a tool, or the whole fleet, at once.

Approved remediation
04

Prevent risky agent behaviour

Review permitted modes and the Guardian plugin’s 13 controls, prompt injection and jailbreak among them, in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI and Antigravity. Computer-use rules cover agents that drive a browser or the desktop, or send email and chat as the person: each is Off, Warn or Block.

Try a policy outcome

The action should be unmistakable.

Select an outcome. These controls explain the behaviour; they do not change a real policy.

✓

Approved interaction continues.

The configured rule permits this supported request. Keep the decision linked to the policy version.

Trust the context

Evidence for a review.
Not a compliance shortcut.

Framework packages help organise rules and evidence for SOC 2, the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI RMF. They do not certify your organisation.

Versioned decisions

Keep the rule, its version and the resulting verdict together. A later policy change does not rewrite an earlier decision.

Honest states

Separate pass, warn, fail, unknown, ungraded and not applicable. Missing evidence must never inflate a pass rate.

Controlled evidence

Use evidence packs, exports and retention settings to support your review process. Prompt inspection and stored conversation content are separate choices.

Your next step

Validate the controls that matter to you.

Pilot your target apps, operating systems and workflows. Confirm supported actions, permissions, compatibility and offline behaviour before expanding enforcement.
