AI Governance Control Plane for Regulated Industries

Every AI action.
Cryptographically proven.

The model reasons. The agent acts. Your systems decide. Proviguard governs every boundary in between — and proves it, not just logs it.

Policy → Interception → Evidence — one boundary, every model call, every agent action.

The Problem

AI agents already act. Proof rarely keeps up.

AI agents are already approving payments, screening transactions, and drafting regulated communications inside financial institutions — and for most, the ability to prove what an agent did hasn't kept pace with what it's allowed to do.

The agents are already in production. The trust isn't.

85% of financial institutions already have AI agents in production. Only 5% trust them enough to ship without a human checking every decision. That gap — not the technology — is what actually stalls a fintech AI program.

Shadow AI is no longer the exception. It's nearly half of all AI incidents.

Shadow-AI-linked breaches jumped from 20% to 43% of AI incidents in a single year, averaging $4.63M — $670K above a standard breach. In a regulated institution, that's not just an incident. It's a compliance finding.

It's already the #1 LLM risk. Most teams still have no defense for it.

Prompt injection — OWASP's #1 LLM risk — surged 340% year-over-year, with indirect injection now over half of observed attacks. Most fintech AI deployments have no dedicated defense for it.

One prompt is all it takes to leak regulated data

Every prompt sent to a third-party model provider is a potential PII exposure — a name, an account number, a health detail — unless something intercepts it first. Most fintech AI deployments have no tokenization layer in the path at all.

Regulation is catching up to AI faster than most programs are.

The EU AI Act and evolving supervisory guidance are moving to regulate AI usage for high-risk decisions — credit decisions, fraud detection, and more. ISO 42001 itself admits its own audits are only "partial" for agentic systems.

Agentic AI still isn't named in the rules meant to govern it. That's not relief — it's exposure.

The Fed, OCC, and FDIC's latest model-risk guidance (SR 26-2) explicitly excludes agentic AI from its scope. Build the control now, on your terms — or retrofit it later, on a regulator's timeline.

The Solution

One control plane between every caller and every system.

Human reviewers, chatbots, LangChain and CrewAI agents, and custom SDKs all call through the same governed boundary — before anything reaches a model, a tool, or an internal system.

Contract Governance

Your contracts already say what's allowed.
We make them enforce it.

Upload a signed MSA, DPA, or vendor agreement. Proviguard extracts the operative clauses, a human ratifies them, and from that moment the agreement isn't a PDF in a shared drive — it's a live rule your AI systems are held to, cited verbatim on every decision it touches.

  • Ingest a signed agreement — no separate policy-authoring step required.
  • AI-assisted extraction of the operative clauses — obligations, limits, and scope.
  • Human ratification under four-eyes approval before anything goes live.
  • Enforced as policy — cited verbatim on every decision it touches, from day one.

The Proviguard Platform

Five domains. One control plane.

Agentic governance, AI security, regulatory compliance, AI privacy, and shadow AI elimination — five domains that write to the same signed, hash-chained record, so compliance, security, and risk teams are always looking at the same source of truth.

Agentic Governance

Nothing acts beyond what you allowed — provably. Every caller, human or agent, carries a scoped identity and an enforced policy, down to the spend cap.

AI Security

The fastest-growing attack has nowhere to land. Injection defenses run at the request path, and every agent gets only the scope its decision actually needs.

Regulatory Compliance

When someone asks what happened, you have proof — not a promise. Every decision is hash-chained and signed, mapped directly to the frameworks you're held to — see below.

AI Privacy

Data you never expose can't become a liability. Sensitive data is tokenized before a model or tool ever sees it — reversible, never lossy redaction.

Shadow AI

See every AI call in your company — because there's no other way to make one. A base-URL swap routes every LLM call through Proviguard instead of a personal key, closing the blind spot rather than policing it.

One request. One record. All five domains read and write the same evidence chain — nothing reconciles after the fact because nothing was ever separate.

Security & Compliance

Mapped to the frameworks your regulators and auditors already ask about.

Proviguard doesn't replace your compliance program — it gives it a live, cryptographic evidence base to point to.

Solutions

Built for regulated industries.
Starting with the ones that can't wait.

Proviguard is purpose-built for environments where governance, security, privacy, and compliance all have to hold together — not just one of them.

Banking, Fintech & Payment Facilitators

The sharpest edge of AI risk — real money, real regulators, real consequences. Proviguard governs it today across security, privacy, and compliance together.

  • Loan underwriting agents that extract income and bureau data and draft adverse-action letters — governed end-to-end as one auditable episode.
  • Real-time fraud detection — sub-500ms transaction scoring with policy-based escalation instead of blind blocking.
  • AML investigation agents chaining sanctions screening, transaction history, and case-note generation into an evidence-backed SAR narrative.
  • KYC/KYB agents orchestrating document extraction, identity verification, and human sign-off — PII tokenized inside your VPC.
  • Payment pre-authorization across wire, ACH, and RTP rails, with structuring and velocity checks before execution.
  • Vendor payment diversion detection — catching a payment routed to bank details that silently diverged from the vendor master file.
  • Contract-to-control enforcement — a signed MSA or DPA becomes a live, cited rule the moment it's ratified.
  • Full episode reconstruction handed to a regulator or auditor: who acted, on whose authority, what was approved, blocked, or escalated.

Insurance

Claims, underwriting, and servicing agents create the same proof problem banking does — with its own regulatory language. VerticalPack in development.

  • Claims-triage agents reasoning over policy documents and adjuster notes.
  • Underwriting agents pulling third-party risk data into a bindable decision.
  • Policy servicing and cancellation workflows with human-in-the-loop review.

Roadmap — reach out if you'd like to help shape this VerticalPack as a partner.

Healthcare

Clinical and operational agents touch PHI and take actions with real consequences. VerticalPack in development.

  • Prior-authorization and utilization-review agents.
  • Clinical documentation agents operating under HIPAA-scoped data handling.
  • Patient-facing agents with human escalation for clinical judgment calls.

Roadmap — reach out if you'd like to help shape this VerticalPack as a partner.

Legal

Contract-heavy, precedent-bound, and allergic to ambiguity — legal teams are a natural extension of Proviguard's contract-to-control model.

  • Contract review and clause-extraction agents feeding directly into enforced policy.
  • Outside-counsel spend and scope-of-engagement enforcement.
  • Matter-management agents with a full evidentiary trail for privilege and audit.

How It Works

Nothing skips the check.
Nothing checked stays unproven.

Whether it's a single prompt or a forty-step autonomous agent, every action passes through the same boundary — and comes out the other side as signed, chained evidence, not just a log someone could edit later.

Identity
Every caller and agent has a scoped, verifiable identity — never a shared key.
Classify & Protect
Sensitive data is detected and tokenized before it reaches a model provider.
Model Proposes
The model reasons and proposes an action — a reply, a tool call, a next step.
Intercept & Validate
Checked against policy — spend limits, scope, jurisdiction, tool schema, screening — in real time.
Execute
Approved actions reach the system of record. Flagged actions route to a human instead.
Sealed Episode
Signed and hash-chained into the record. Tamper-evident, audit-ready.

This loop repeats at every step of a multi-step agent workflow — not once at login. We call a governed multi-step run an Episode.

Integration & Rollout

Live in days, not quarters.

Governance from the first call — adopted incrementally, on your timeline, never a prerequisite.

01

Base-URL swap

Any OpenAI-compatible SDK, today. Zero refactor — governance from the first call.

02

Native framework adapters

LangChain and CrewAI, for policy-aware tool calls and multi-agent routing — not just chat completions.

03

MCP-native

Any MCP client — Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, Cursor, or a custom agent — connects straight to a Proviguard-governed MCP server.

04

Proviguard Agentic Protocol

Opt-in. Structured action mandates your agents emit directly, for full cryptographic evidence fidelity — adopted on your timeline.

Advisory Mode

  • Every call observed and scored against policy — nothing blocked, nothing held.
  • Builds a real evidence baseline before a single action is ever gated.
  • Safe to turn on anytime on live traffic, with zero impact.
  • Shows exactly what Live Mode would have caught, before it's binding.

Live Mode

  • Full enforcement — injection blocking, spend caps binding, HITL holds active.
  • Gradual rollout — start with your riskiest workflows and decision types.
  • Regulatory floors become binding, not advisory, the moment you switch.
  • The same evidence chain, now the record of record instead of a preview.

Data plane and control plane traffic is mutually authenticated and signed — never a shared static secret.

FAQ

Questions we get from compliance and engineering teams.

Every model call and every agent action — a single prompt/response or a multi-step autonomous workflow — is intercepted, checked against policy, and turned into signed evidence before it reaches a downstream system.
Gateways route traffic and observability tools log it after the fact. Proviguard enforces policy in the request path and produces cryptographically signed, hash-chained evidence — not logs that can be edited after an incident.
No. Sensitive data is tokenized in a Token Vault that runs inside your VPC. In Hybrid and Air-Gapped deployments, it never leaves your network at all.
EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, OWASP's LLM and Agentic Top 10s, BSA/AML and OFAC screening, GLBA, NYDFS 500, and DORA, among others. See Security & Compliance above for the full mapping.
No. Policy is pulled and cached at the edge; evidence is written asynchronously. Regulatory screening runs in-memory in under 2ms, and fraud scoring completes in under 500ms.
No — the external providers listed on this site (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure OpenAI) are examples, not the limit; support for additional providers is ongoing. Routing and failover are bound to decision-type policy, not just cost and latency — a payment decision and a chat reply aren't allowed to fail the same way. For regulated workflows where an off-the-shelf model isn't the right fit, Proviguard also trains and recommends locally-hosted models suited to the specific use case, certified and tracked in the same model registry as every other model in production. Spend caps hold per agent, per team, per decision type — cost governance, not just cost visibility.
Yes — that's the core of the platform. Multi-step agent runs are captured as signed Episodes, with a distinct, scoped identity per agent and a tool gateway that authorizes every call an agent makes, not just the first one.
Registration, approval, and promotion are separate steps — not one blanket "connect and trust." Full tool-advertisement hash pinning catches a server smuggling instructions into a description, not just a renamed tool. Scheduled drift re-checks and SSRF/DNS-rebinding checks run at registration and at every dispatch, and arguments are validated against the exact schema a human approved at promotion time. If a previously approved tool silently changes its behavior — a "rug pull" — enforcement stays frozen on the originally approved schema until a human re-reviews it. Most MCP integrations have none of this; they trust tools/list forever.
Upload a signed agreement — an MSA, a DPA, a vendor contract. Proviguard extracts the operative clauses, a human ratifies them under four-eyes approval, and from that point the agreement is enforced as a live policy — cited verbatim on every decision it touches.
Cloud SaaS, Hybrid VPC (Token Vault and screening on your infrastructure, control plane with Proviguard), and fully Air-Gapped Enterprise with no external dependencies.
Banking, fintech, and payment facilitators are the platform's primary focus today. Insurance, healthcare, and legal VerticalPacks are in development — reach out if you want to help shape any of them as a partner.
