AI & agent governance

AI & agent governance for Naples businesses.Authorize, attest, and record every action an AI model or autonomous agent takes.

RankShield governs the AI acting on your behalf so it's provable, not just hoped-for. Every AI tool and autonomous agent action is authorized against policy, attested to a verifiable identity, and recorded before it runs. Deny is the default, so an action an agent can't prove was authorized never executes — and you can verify yourself exactly what your AI did.

The risk

Why do AI tools and agents create new risk?

AI agents turn text into action without a human in the loop. An assistant wired into your inbox, CRM, or accounting can be manipulated by a crafted message — a prompt injection — into exporting data or moving funds. OWASP ranks prompt injection as the number one large-language-model risk, and the 2025 EchoLeak flaw in Microsoft 365 Copilot showed a single crafted email could exfiltrate internal data with zero clicks. Governing what an AI is allowed to do is what caps that blast radius.

THE LEAKY TOOL

Staff paste client or patient data into a consumer chatbot to save time; it's now outside your control and possibly training a model.

Governance gates what data AI tools may touch and records every access, so regulated data is protected at the source.

THE HIJACKED AGENT

A poisoned document or email instructs an agent to email your client list to an attacker.

Deny-by-default authorization blocks any action not explicitly permitted; the hijack hits a wall instead of your data.

WHO APPROVED THAT?

After an incident, scattered logs can't prove what the agent did or under whose authority.

Every agent action is attested to a verifiable identity and sealed to a tamper-evident receipt.

How it works

How RankShield governs an agent.

You can't stop a model from being tricked by language, so RankShield limits what a tricked model can do. Each agent gets a verifiable identity and least-privilege scope; every consequential action is checked against policy, and high-impact steps require approval. It builds on RankShield's live post-quantum and transparency stack; agent governance is in active development and labeled as such.

Deny-by-defaultNo tool call runs unless an explicit, scoped policy allows it.
Least privilegeEach agent holds only the permissions its task needs, ideally short-lived.
IETF RATSAttested identity — every action tied to a verifiable principal, not a shared account.
ReceiptsTamper-evident record of every agent action for audit and dispute.
Questions

AI governance — common questions

Is it safe for staff to use ChatGPT with client data?
Treat it as a data leak until governed. Consumer AI tools can retain and train on what's pasted in, and much workplace use runs on personal accounts with no data controls. RankShield governs which tools may touch which data and records every access, so you keep productivity without exposing regulated client information.
Do I have to stop using AI agents?
No. The point is to govern them, not avoid them. RankShield scopes each agent to least privilege, requires approval for money and data movement, and keeps tamper-evident receipts, so a hijacked assistant can't take an action you didn't authorize.
