The AI Governance platform · Secure · Comply · Value
NIST proved static AI guardrails can't hold. Govern AI you can prove — to a regulator, an auditor, a board.
Continuous AI governance for insurers and financial institutions, built to NIST's continuous monitor-and-update standard — on one cryptographically-verifiable ledger. Secure your models, Comply with proof a regulator accepts, and turn governed AI into Value.

How it works
Proof your buyer's security review accepts.
- 1
Score or connect
Answer 8 questions for a free readiness score, or connect your stack read-only. Minutes, no card.
- 2
Get cited evidence
Your readiness is scored control-by-control across ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, NIST and AIUC-1 — every claim sourced, sealed to a verifiable ledger.
- 3
Your buyer verifies it
Hand their security review a signed bundle they check offline from the command line. Readiness, not certification.
The solution · Deterministic governance
Probabilistic agents. Deterministic governance.
The model is probabilistic. The governance isn't — the same gates and the same evidence, every run. Deterministic governance around the model, never a deterministic model.
Grounded, every claim
Every agent output is cited to its source — or it's dropped before it ships. No ungrounded claims reach a deliverable.
Reviewed, every run
A mandatory fabrication-and-overclaim review runs before any deliverable leaves the agent. Fail loud, never silently continue.
Provable, every decision
Each step is sealed to a tamper-evident ledger your reviewer verifies offline, from the command line. Readiness, not certification.
The product · AI Governance Platform Engineering
Cognita AIGPE — the governance and evidence layer for agentic systems.
Your IDE, your frameworks, and your cloud get the agent to runtime. Cognita governs the agent's work and proves it — control-plane and origin-agnostic. It integrates with your stack; it doesn't replace it.
- Cited-or-dropped gates
- Mandatory adversarial review
- Tamper-evident evidence ledger
- Framework readiness crosswalk
- Model provenance
- Per-run cost metering
Builds on and credits the Agentic Development Platform work (Weave Intelligence), the “path” concept (Charity Majors), and the runtime-governance argument (N. Kenney).
The shared ledger
The ledger every engine writes to.
Secure's AI-security posture findings, Comply's readiness evidence, and the Value engine's ROI decisions all append to one immutable ledger — a Postgres hash-chain, each row signed with a KMS key, the Merkle root anchored hourly to write-once S3 Object-Lock (COMPLIANCE mode). Hand an auditor a signed bundle and they verify the whole chain from the command line — offline. The same proof that satisfies a regulator satisfies your CFO.
