AI Governance
A register, risk assessments, kill switches and incident handling for every agent
AI Governance keeps every agent visible and controllable: a register with owners, risk assessments before data access, kill switches at four levels, incident handling, model cards and access reviews. Hard policies such as never claiming to be human cannot be configured away.
Governance built in, not bolted on
SMB buyers rarely have an AI governance function, and enterprise buyers need evidence for one. AI Governance, planned for W1, gives both the same controls.
Know every agent
The agent register lists every agent, whether rented, tenant-built or utility, with owner, supervisor, class, template version, skills, maximum risk tier and autonomy distribution. An agent map shows each agent's owner, skills, knowledge scopes and connections. Monthly access reviews cover agents with R3 skills and flag unused skills for removal.
Assess before access
A risk assessment runs before any data access: skills times risk tiers times data classification times external exposure gives a score and band, and production needs approval. Tenant AI policy sets allowed model providers and classes, data classification limits and prohibited skill categories such as covert employee monitoring. Non-configurable hard policies apply everywhere: never claim to be human, R4 never above A2, agents never approve their own proposals.
Stop it fast
Kill switches work at four levels: K1 skill, K2 agent and K3 tenant from W1, with K3 scoped to a department and quarterly drills later, and K4 platform-wide for One3. A drill scheduler records measured stop times as audit evidence. Runtime detectors catch runaway cost and repetition loops, with message storms, deadlocks and oscillation added later.
When something goes wrong
The AI incident log has severities S1 to S4 with automatic responses from a discipline matrix: log, demote, suspend a skill and external channels, or trigger a kill switch. The incident workflow contains, reverses or compensates per reversibility class, and notifies the tenant and, where a personal-data breach requires it, authorities (to be verified). A blast-radius query finds every object an agent changed in a time range and proposes bulk reversal grouped by reversibility class. Just-in-time elevation is bound to one object and expires after use.
Evidence and fairness
Model cards document models, eval results, limitations, data sources and intended use. Bias audits are planned for HR screening, review and credit-adjacent roles, and people-affecting roles need a deployment checklist. ISO 42001 control mapping and EU AI Act documentation are planned (requirements to be verified with auditors). A governance dashboard shows autonomy distribution, promotions, demotions, incidents and drill results.
Features
What AI Governance includes
Agent register and map
Every agent with owner, class, version, skills, risk tier and autonomy; a map of connections.
Risk assessment before access
Score from skills, tiers, data classification and exposure; approval before production.
Tenant AI policy
Allowed providers and model classes, classification limits and prohibited skill categories.
Hard policies
Never claim to be human, R4 never above A2, no self-approval; not configurable.
Kill switches K1 to K4
Skill, agent, tenant and platform levels with drill evidence.
Incident log and discipline matrix
S1 to S4 severities with automatic responses.
Incident workflow
Contain, reverse or compensate, notify and review.
Blast-radius query
Objects changed by an agent in a time range with bulk reversal proposals.
Model cards
Models, evals, limitations, data sources and intended use.
Access reviews
Monthly for agents with R3 skills; unused skills flagged.
Just-in-time elevation
Single-object, expiring elevation via the Approvals Inbox.
Bias audits and people-affecting checklist
Audits for HR and credit-adjacent roles before release.
Standards evidence
ISO 42001 mapping and EU AI Act documentation (verify).
Governance dashboard
Autonomy, promotions, demotions, incidents, heatmap and drills.
Workflow
Incident to remediation
- 1
A detector or person raises an incident
- 2
Severity is proposed and confirmed; S1 kill switches fire immediately
- 3
The blast-radius query lists affected objects
- 4
Reversal or compensation is proposed per reversibility class
- 5
A person approves remediation
- 6
Root cause adds eval cases and a versioned fix
AI
AI skills and Digital Employees
Risk assessment scoring
Scores and explains risk bands for approval.

Digital Employees that use this module
- AI Agent Governance Auditor
- AI Access Reviewer
They act through the same governed Actions as people; risky steps wait for approval.
Frequently asked questions
Can I turn off the "never claim to be human" rule?
No. It is a non-configurable hard policy.
How fast can I stop an agent?
Kill switches work at skill, agent and tenant level from W1, and drills record measured stop times.
Does this make us compliant with AI regulation?
It provides controls and evidence. Standards mapping must be verified with your auditor and counsel.
