Identify
Map the reachable Ω exposure across the system's full operational state-space.
Your AI can cost millions before traditional controls detect it.
Autonomous systems now have access to money, customer data, critical infrastructure, and regulated workflows. If you cannot identify which catastrophic states remain reachable within your AI stack today, you may already be carrying risks that only become visible after the damage is done.
The same seven steps take any organisation from first assessment to enforced, monthly-reported governance — a familiar SaaS motion that inserts one layer and replaces nothing.
Current architecture, deployment model, risks, and the recommended pathway — already built and ready to run.
You already know their models, tools, autonomy level, and regulations. Walk in prepared, not exploring.
API key, endpoint, and documentation. A familiar SaaS model your team already understands.
Insert one layer; replace nothing. Governance observes every trajectory in production without touching a single existing tool.
Collect every decision, blocked trajectory, false positive, latency figure, and audit-log entry — evidence gathered inside their own environment.
Observe-only becomes observe-and-enforce with one configuration change. No agent rebuild, no redeployment.
Ongoing governance evidence, renewals, and executive visibility — governance as a standing operational role.

EU AI Act · agentic AI
Runtime Governance provides enforcement, evidence and audit-trail controls that support organisations in meeting key EU AI Act obligations for agentic AI deployments — it is not a legal certification.
Supports Article 26 through: pre-execution controls · human review visibility · replayable audit evidence · deterministic decision records · risk exposure mapping · runtime monitoring evidence
Runtime Governance provides pre-execution enforcement, replayable evidence, and audit-trail controls for agentic AI systems.
See the full EU AI Act article mapping →Runtime Governance sits between your AI agents and your live systems, blocking the action chains that lead to catastrophic outcomes — before they execute.
Unsafe action chains are intercepted at the governance layer. Approved actions execute normally.
The governance mechanism remains constant. The Ω domain changes. Runtime Governance applies wherever autonomous systems can create financial, operational, regulatory, safety, or national-security consequences.
Indicative engagement scales represent target deployment categories and potential market scope. They are not claims regarding existing customers or contracts.
Indicative engagement scales only. Final commercial terms are determined following assessment and deployment review. The “+” symbol denotes that figures are not ceilings.
Traditional security evaluates individual events. Runtime Governance evaluates the trajectory those events create — and denies it before execution.
An agent moves money — a transfer, payment, or refund — outside approved limits or to an unverified destination.
PreventedThe transfer is denied before it executes, preventing irreversible financial loss.
An agent reads API keys, tokens, or secrets and routes them toward an external destination.
PreventedThe credential-to-external path is blocked before any secret leaves the boundary.
Customer or regulated data is read and then sent beyond the approved boundary.
PreventedThe exfiltration trajectory is stopped before a notifiable breach can occur.
An agent acquires permissions — for itself or another agent — beyond its authorised scope.
PreventedEscalation is denied before elevated access is ever granted.
Failure modes that point-in-time monitoring cannot see, because the danger only exists across the full trajectory.
Each step looks benign in isolation; the risk only appears across the full sequence. Event-level monitoring never sees the chain.
Intent formed by one agent executes through another, later — breaking the cause-and-effect link monitoring relies on.
The system drifts toward an unsafe state with no single alerting event. Nothing trips a threshold until it is too late.
Over many steps an agent migrates outside its original mandate — gradually, below the radar of point-in-time checks.
Multiple individually safe agents can combine into an unsafe system.
Runtime Governance evaluates the full trajectory across the pipeline — not each agent in isolation — and denies the combined unsafe path before any agent acts.
Agents coordinate to achieve together what none could alone.
Separate risk categories combine into one unsafe trajectory.
An unsafe path that never surfaces as an obvious unsafe step.
The same forbidden outcome reached through different encodings or tools.
Unsafe state passed between agents through shared memory or context.
Every assurance is backed by reproducible methodology, documented test cases, and transparent validation criteria — not marketing language.
If an autonomous system causes a catastrophic outcome on your watch, you own the consequence. Runtime Governance gives you verifiable protection — not assurances.
Autonomous systems navigate enormous state-spaces. Some of those states are catastrophic. We make the forbidden region — Ω — unreachable at runtime.
Map the reachable Ω exposure across the system's full operational state-space.
Define and validate the geometric boundaries that trajectories must never cross.
Integrate runtime governance directly into the client's deployment environment.
Maintain protection as the model, planner, and threat-surface evolve over time.
We make the forbidden region Ω unreachable at runtime — identified, constrained, embedded, and monitored as the operational environment evolves.
When an AI agent acts on its own, a single wrong action can become a business event in seconds. Runtime Governance reduces this exposure before execution — and gives teams the confidence to deploy more automation, not less.
Runtime Governance is priced against the cost of Ω becoming reachable — not the complexity of the software.
One prevented event can pay for 26,666 audits.
| Sector | Incident type | Documented cost |
|---|---|---|
| Banking / Finance | Unauthorised wire transfer | $2B+ single historical losses |
| Healthcare | PHI exposure | $9.77M average per breach (IBM 2024) |
| Cybersecurity | Credential exfiltration | $10.22M average per breach (IBM 2024) |
| Data Privacy | GDPR automated processing violation | €290M–€530M single regulatory fines |
| Enterprise | Unauthorised data access | $4.88M global average (IBM 2024) |
A single unsafe decision in Agent A becomes the input to Agent B before any human intervenes. Runtime Governance evaluates every trajectory at every execution boundary — not just the first agent, not just the final output.
The audit identifies which catastrophic states are currently reachable in your system — before they become a business event.
Governance cost is bounded. Catastrophic exposure is not. The figures below weigh the cost of a Runtime Governance engagement against the documented cost of Ω becoming reachable.
If one catastrophic execution is prevented, governance pays for itself many times over — eliminating exposure thousands of times larger than deployment cost.
We do not price according to software complexity. We price according to the cost of Ω becoming reachable.
| Scenario | Potential exposure | Governance comparison |
|---|---|---|
| 48-Hour Audit | £40K–£75K | Entry assessment |
| Annual Retainer | £420K–£1.2M/yr | Continuous assurance |
| Healthcare breach | £7.7M | ~103× audit cost |
| Credential exposure | £10.22M | ~136× audit cost |
| GDPR fine | £530M | ~7,067× audit cost |
| Major funds transfer | £2B+ | ~26,666× audit cost |
Illustrative risk-comparison figures — not guaranteed savings. Exposure values reference documented industry incidents and regulatory maxima; comparisons use a £75K audit baseline.
Indicative engagement scales only. Final commercial terms are determined following assessment and deployment review. The “+” symbol denotes that figures are not ceilings.
The audit identifies which catastrophic states are reachable in your system today — and moves Ω out of reach before it executes.
Traditional AI safety inspects outputs after the system has already acted. Runtime Governance evaluates the action before execution. Here is how it works.
Runtime Governance does not depend on model weights, architectures, providers, or training methods. The governance layer operates at the execution boundary, so the same safety controls govern actions regardless of where they originate. You do not rebuild your AI stack.
AI providers will change. Models will improve. Agent frameworks will evolve.
Runtime Governance remains at the execution boundary — enforcing the same safety constraints regardless of the intelligence generating the action.
These providers are examples, not limits. As new models emerge, Runtime Governance remains unchanged — the model can change; the governance layer does not.
New frontier models, open-weight systems, agent frameworks, and enterprise AI stacks can be governed without redesigning the governance architecture. Governance is attached to execution, not to a specific model.
States are nodes. Transitions are edges. Governance evaluates every reachable path and denies any transition that would step the system into the forbidden Ω set — before it executes.
Select a scenario. Runtime Governance evaluates the agent’s proposed trajectory before execution — safe paths flow through to execution, while Ω-bound paths are intercepted at the governance layer, pre-action.
Runtime Governance uses precise technical language. Here is what each core term means in plain English, so you know exactly what you are buying.
Three one-time engagements move governance into your environment. The retainer keeps it protected as systems, models, and threats evolve.
Most organisations begin with a Runtime Governance Audit. If material Ω exposure is identified, the next step is typically a Limited Pilot. Successful pilots transition into deployment and operational integration. After deployment, governance remains an ongoing process — retainer engagements provide continuous revalidation, Ω governance, threat-surface monitoring, and operational assurance as systems, models, and environments change.
A 48-hour Runtime Safety Assessment identifies the catastrophic states reachable in your autonomous systems — before they execute. Consultation, strategy session, and pilot are the steps that follow.
