Authority and data flow
Where identities, secrets, data, model outputs, and human approvals cross trust boundaries.
- Actors and authority
- Data and secret paths
- Human approval points
We assess where identity, data, models, tools, and human authority change hands—then identify what is verified, what is assumed, and what should be hardened first.
When the agent, model, or integration behaves incorrectly, what contains the failure—and what evidence survives?
This engagement is for teams adding agents, models, integrations, or distributed execution to a system with real operational consequences.
It is not fear-driven compliance theater. The output is a practical view of trust boundaries, control gaps, evidence paths, and the smallest hardening sequence that materially improves readiness.
Where identities, secrets, data, model outputs, and human approvals cross trust boundaries.
Abuse cases, unsafe defaults, degraded modes, and evidence-preservation gaps.
Prioritized controls, tests, runbooks, and deeper validation options.
Define what must be protected, what failure means, and what evidence the organization needs.
Review identity, access, data, tool, runtime, and human-control paths.
Separate immediate controls from deeper testing, hardening, and operational work.
The engagement records what was inspected, what remains assumed, which limitations apply, and how each recommended action changes the failure path or evidence posture.
Share the system, workflow, or decision in front of you. We will confirm whether this lane fits, identify the information needed to scope it, and recommend a smaller or different start when appropriate.
No urgency timer. No obligation to continue into another engagement.
