Security Architecture

Safe AI agents
by design.

Every decision passes through a controlled pipeline — from input to audit trail. No agent goes live without a security architecture.

How to build safe AI agents?

EU AI Act compliance for AI agents

01

Input & Classification

Every request is validated, normalized, and classified before entering the pipeline. Cases outside trained patterns are detected and stopped — never guessed.

  • Input validation and format checks
  • Detection of unknown request patterns
  • Confidence threshold enforces escalation

02

Context & Rule Versions

The agent loads rules, contracts, and operational data at the time of the decision. When rules change between event and processing, the agent knows which version applies.

  • Point-in-time decision context
  • Versioned business rules
  • Reproducible decision basis

03

Decision & Verification

Critical decisions are reviewed by multiple independent models. When they disagree, a human decides — the agent never has the last word on sensitive actions.

  • Independent multi-model review
  • Disagreement triggers human review
  • Separated responsibilities per stage

Guardrails & Permissions

Every agent operates within clearly defined boundaries. Permissions follow the least-privilege principle, actions are limited, and critical operations are reversible.

  • Minimal permissions per agent
  • Action limits and blocked paths
  • Rollback-capable operations

Audit Trail & Compliance

Every step is logged — not just what happened, but why. Decision paths document input, context, reasoning, and outcome.

  • Complete decision log
  • Reasoning for every action documented
