Deterministic Governance for AI at the Edge

Govern the action, not just the answer

When AI is forward-deployed into critical systems, the model can't be its own safeguard. The High-Assurance Gateway makes a deterministic ALLOW, DENY, MODIFY, or DEFER decision on every AI action — in-path, no model in the loop, with a replayable receipt (a fifth verb, STEP_UP, is on the roadmap).

Governing AI at the forward, safety-critical edge

AI is moving to the places where failure is not an option — defense, critical infrastructure, regulated enterprises. At that edge, autonomous systems act faster than humans can review, and probabilistic alignment isn't enough. You need deterministic enforcement at the point of action.

Autonomous AI Outpaces Human Oversight

Modern AI systems make decisions and take actions in milliseconds. Human review processes take minutes, hours, or days. This speed mismatch creates a fundamental security gap.

Perfect AI Alignment Is Mathematically Impossible

Given the stochastic nature of AI, achieving 100% alignment with human values is provably impossible. Even small deviations can lead to severe unintended consequences.

Regulations Demand Provable Compliance

Industries face strict regulatory frameworks (FINRA, HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP) that require deterministic, auditable controls. Probabilistic approaches don't meet compliance standards.

One discipline, two tiers

The flagship is the High-Assurance Gateway: deterministic, in-path enforcement for the forward edge. The browser extension, agent-governance proxy, and dashboard are the connected tier — the same discipline for ordinary connected environments. See the surface-to-tier map →

Documentation Isn't Enforcement

Compliance tools prove your policies exist. Containment.AI proves they're enforced — at the exact moment an employee submits data to an AI tool.

Compliance & audit tools

Document that policies exist

  • Evidence collection for audits
  • Framework mapping (SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar)
  • Policy documentation & review
  • Cannot stop sensitive data from leaving the browser

Containment.AI

Enforce policies at the moment of risk

  • Inspects every prompt in real time
  • Blocks sensitive data before it reaches an AI service
  • Produces audit-ready evidence as a byproduct of enforcement
  • Closes the shadow AI gap at the browser

Compliance documentation and real-time enforcement are complementary. Containment.AI feeds enforcement evidence into the compliance programs you already run.

Containment.AI is aligned with AARM — the Cloud Security Alliance runtime-governance standard for autonomous AI agents.

Real-Time AI Governance in Action

containment.ai operates transparently in the background, enforcing policies at the moment of interaction.

Data-flow diagram: AI requests pass through the gateway, are evaluated against deterministic policy, and receive an ALLOW/DENY/MODIFY/DEFER verdict with a signed audit record.
1

Install

Deploy the Chrome extension via browser management policies. No infrastructure changes, no API integrations. Installation takes minutes.

2

Configure

Choose from our standard policy library covering common compliance frameworks or create custom policies tailored to your organization.

3

Enforce

As employees interact with AI services, containment.ai inspects every prompt and response in real-time. Policy violations are blocked instantly.

For defense contractors & national security teams

Runtime enforcement for NatSec & defense

GRC platforms document your AI policy. Containment.AI enforces it — at the browser, the agent, and the gateway — blocking export-controlled and CUI content before it reaches a public LLM, with tamper-evident logs your contracting officer can review.

  • ITAR/EAR export-control and CUI policy enforcement at the point of use
  • Deterministic decisions — no LLM-judging-LLM
  • Designed around cross-domain technology, building toward formal verification (not yet attested), against NSA cross-domain standards

Design-partner pilot

We are onboarding a small number of NatSec and defense design partners on a fixed-scope, 90-day paid pilot:

  • $25–50k fixed fee, credited toward a year-one Enterprise contract
  • Up to 50 seats, deployed with our engineers
  • Direct input into the roadmap
