What is Enforce Solution?

You can identify every AI system in your organization. You can assess each one for risk. But if the policies you write stay as documents that nobody enforces consistently, governance breaks down the moment a model goes into production.

Enforce is where governance becomes operational. It is the third stage of the Holistic AI Governance Platform, after Identify and Protect, and it is what makes the difference between writing policies and actually applying them. Enforce takes the rules your governance team defines and applies them as automated controls that evaluate, intervene, and log every relevant AI interaction, across every model and agent, in real time.

How it works

Enforce starts with policy creation. You define your governance rules on the platform using the visual policy builder, which lets you construct policies through a drag and drop interface. You can build rules from scratch based on your organization's internal standards, or start from preconfigured regulatory templates mapped to frameworks like the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and NYC Local Law 144.

Each policy specifies what to look for, what thresholds apply, and what action to take when a violation is detected. Once a policy is active, it is applied automatically to every AI interaction that falls within its scope.

What Enforce does

  • Runtime guardrails - Policies are applied as automated controls that sit in the execution path of your models, agents, and workflows. Every interaction is evaluated against your active rules in real time
  • Automated enforcement - When a violation is detected, the platform acts immediately. It can block harmful content, prevent PII disclosure, enforce tone and safety guidelines, redirect requests, or escalate to human review
  • Deployment gates - Set approval requirements that must be met before an AI system can move from staging to production. Systems that do not pass policy checks cannot ship
  • Kill switches - Shut down a model or agent instantly when critical thresholds are breached, with no manual intervention required
  • Violation tracking - Track every policy violation, enforcement action, and compliance status across your AI inventory in real time. See violation trends and compliance scores at a glance
  • Audit trail generation - Every enforcement decision is logged with full context: which policy was triggered, what the input and output were, what action was taken, and what the outcome was. This creates continuous, audit ready evidence for regulators and internal stakeholders

Powered by Guardian Agents

Every enforcement action in the platform is carried out by Guardian Agents. Sentinel Agents monitor and detect. Operative Agents intervene and enforce. This means governance is not a scheduled job or a batch process. It is continuous, running alongside your AI systems at the speed they operate.

Regulatory alignment built in

The regulatory templates on the platform are not just checklists. They translate directly into enforceable rules. When you activate a template for the EU AI Act, the platform maps the relevant obligations to your AI systems based on their risk classification and applies the corresponding controls automatically. The same applies for NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, NYC Local Law 144, and industry specific standards.

You can also define and enforce your own internal policies, ethics guidelines, and organization specific controls alongside regulatory requirements. Everything runs through the same enforcement engine.

What Enforce produces

The output of Enforce is not just safer AI. It is evidence. The platform generates comprehensive compliance reports with full decision logging that you can export for regulators, auditors, leadership, or any stakeholder who needs to see that governance is happening. Reports can be generated on demand or on a scheduled cadence, and they map directly to the frameworks your organization is subject to.
