Machine Authority Control

    Control What Automated Systems Can Actually Do

    AI agents, build runners, notebooks, and privileged automation get manifest-bound authority — enforced at the machine boundary and proved in hardware.

    AI Governance → Host Authority → Hardware Proof

    The Agent Has Approved Tools
    The Host Still Has A Network Card

    Enterprise AI governance is necessary. It governs prompts, models, tools, data, and traces. But when an agent runs on a host, the host can still attempt actions outside the application story.

    01APPROVED TOOL

    Internal API and model endpoint allowed by manifest.

    02AGENT TRACE

    App layer reports normal, in-policy behavior.

    03HOST ATTEMPT

    Unknown IP, external storage, or command server attempted.

    04INTERLOCK REFUSAL

    Unauthorized action refused at the host boundary.

    05HARDWARE RECEIPT

    Refusal signed by TPM and chained.

    06VERIFIED

    Third party verifies the proof locally.

    AI governance sees what the agent says it did. Sovereign Interlock controls what the host can actually do.

    Physical AI Runtime Authority

    Runtime Authority For AI and Edge Systems

    AI agents, build runners, robotics, inspection systems, and edge inference nodes can all move data and call services.

    Sovereign Interlock turns runtime authority into an enforced boundary: approved paths pass, unauthorized network is refused, and every refusal is independently verifiable.

    Software Governance Stops At The Platform Edge

    Databricks, Raindrop, Sphinx, Wiz, Cyera, and SOC tools answer useful questions above the host boundary. Sovereign Interlock answers a different question: what did the machine actually try to do, and was it allowed?

    Products

    Products For Enterprise Machine Authority

    AI Agent Egress Cage

    Limit an AI agent host to approved tools, APIs, and model endpoints. Refuse unauthorized wire and prove the refusal.

    [ EVALUATE AI AGENT CAGE ]

    Build Runner Boundary

    Make CI/CD network authority explicit. Approved registries pass. Unknown egress is refused and receipted.

    [ REQUEST BUILD RUNNER REVIEW ]

    Privileged Automation Governor

    Bound scripts, bots, and service accounts to declared machine authority instead of inherited trust.

    [ REQUEST ARCHITECTURE REVIEW ]

    Data Notebook Boundary

    Let exploratory compute query approved systems without unconstrained external egress.

    [ DISCUSS REGULATED WORKLOAD BOUNDARY ]

    Physical AI Runtime Governor

    Govern what robots, drones, edge AI boxes, mission nodes, and industrial systems can do after they boot. Bind approved network paths by manifest, refuse unauthorized wire below software, sign every refusal in hardware, and verify behavior without trusting dashboards.

    [ REQUEST RUNTIME AUTHORITY BRIEFING ]

    A Maturity Ladder For Machine Authority

    Good → Better → Best. Start with verified evidence, progress to enforced egress, arrive at a full machine authority layer.

    01GOOD

    Verified control evidence for high-risk hosts.

    02BETTER

    Enforced egress for agents, runners, notebooks, and privileged automation.

    03BEST

    Enterprise machine authority layer with signed manifests, kernel refusal, and independent verification.

    Evidence For Regulated and Federal-Adjacent Systems

    For regulated platforms and federal-adjacent environments, Sovereign Interlock supports continuous monitoring and boundary evidence with hardware-attested receipts. This does not claim FedRAMP authorization.
