The Problem
The Policy Enforcement Gap
Policies exist on paper, but manual enforcement and drift create gaps in compliance
Policies in Documents
Most policies remain static in documents, not integrated into systems, making real-time enforcement impossible
Manual Enforcement
Enforcement relies on people remembering rules, leaving gaps and inconsistent application across teams
Late Violation Discovery
Violations are often discovered after damage has occurred, creating risk for business and operations
Policy Drift
Active policies change over time, but teams often follow outdated versions, causing divergence from intended rules
Policies alone don’t prevent violations—manual enforcement and drift leave gaps
How It Works
Evidence-First Policy Enforcement
Ensures every action proves compliance before execution. Violations aren’t caught after the fact—they are structurally impossible by design
Request Validation
Every action requested is checked against active policies before execution begins
This ensures only allowed actions are permitted, preventing violations at the source
Violations are impossible before they can occur
Policy Verification
The agent assembles all relevant context, thresholds, and rules to verify compliance for each request
Real-time evaluation eliminates reliance on manual enforcement or post-action checks
Compliance is enforced automatically in real time
Execution Control
If an action complies, the execution path opens; if not, it simply cannot proceed
No reactive correction is needed because disallowed actions never execute
Non-compliant actions are structurally blocked
Audit-Ready Evidence
Every decision and execution path generates a Decision Trace for audit and review
This provides full evidence that all actions followed the correct policies
Every action leaves a traceable, audit-ready record
Without Policy Enforcement Agent
A sales rep applies a 20% discount in the CRM. The discount goes through immediately, violating the 10% policy threshold. The violation is only discovered during a quarterly review, after the customer has already benefited, creating risk and operational issues
See How Context Is EnforcedWith Policy Enforcement Agent
Since no qualifying incidents exist, the execution path does not exist. The rep sees a clear message: “Discount exceeds policy threshold. VP approval required.” A Decision Trace is generated for audit: “20% discount blocked. Policy v2.3, threshold 10%. No exception criteria met. Escalation path provided.”

Versioning
Policies That Stay Current
Ensures policies are always up-to-date, automatically tracked, and enforced correctly. Decision Lineage captures the exact version used for each action
Version Control
Every policy has an explicit version. Changes are tracked so previous versions are never lost
his ensures actions are enforced against the correct policy at all times
Policy history is fully auditable and traceable
Effective Dates
Policies automatically activate and expire based on defined dates
This eliminates the risk of outdated or inactive policies being applied
Only current policies govern actions in real time
Point-in-Time Audit
Decision Lineage captures which policy version was active for each action
Auditors can trace enforcement decisions to the exact policy version used
Audit-ready evidence is always available
Drift Detection
The agent alerts if enforcement diverges from the intended policy
This prevents context rot and ensures consistent application across the organization
Policy adherence is continuously monitored and maintained
Automatic Enforcement Updates
Policy updates propagate automatically to enforcement logic
Teams no longer rely on manual updates or risk misaligned enforcement
Enforcement always reflects the latest policy rules
Compliance Assurance
Combining versioning, audit trails, and drift alerts guarantees regulatory and operational compliance
Organizations gain confidence that all actions follow defined policies accurately
Compliance is structurally enforced without gaps
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Policies are defined in the Ontology using structured rules. Templates are available for common domains, and custom policies can be created via a policy builder or API
The Ontology sets policy precedence. The agent applies the most restrictive policy and generates a Decision Trace explaining the conflict resolution
Overrides are controlled by policy. Authorized users may invoke exception paths, with every override recorded in Decision Lineage along with full justification
Policy updates automatically propagate to enforcement logic. Decision Lineage ensures all actions reference the correct, active policy version
Policies should be executable. Not just documented.
Make your policies enforceable in real time. Prevent violations before they happen and ensure every action follows the latest rules
