AI governance, delivered as a service.
KYE Protocol™ is AI governance as a service: instead of building a governance stack yourself, you get the authority decision — may this agent take this action? — plus a Replay-Proof™ Evidence Pack™ for every action, over the AI agents you already run. It is vendor-neutral, mapped across 170 frameworks, and there is no AI runtime to stand up. When an agent acts, you prove who authorised it in seconds — cutting audit exam-prep from days to minutes.
What “AI governance as a service” actually means
AI governance is the discipline of proving an AI system acted within policy, law and mandate. Delivered as a service, that becomes a managed layer you switch on over your existing agents — not a toolkit you assemble, host and maintain. KYE Protocol™ provides two things as a service: the decision at the moment of the action, and the portable proof of it.
The authority decision
Purpose Permission™ evaluates, at the moment of each action, whether the agent is authorised — returning ALLOW or DENY with Authority Finality™. You set the purpose and scope; the service enforces it.The portable proof
Every decision is sealed into a Replay-Proof™ Evidence Pack™ you keep and re-verify offline from a published key — no vendor in the loop, even years later.Framework mapping
Each decision is mapped across 170 frameworks — the EU AI Act™ Article 12 logging duty, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001™, DORA — so a control owner reads coverage, not raw logs.No runtime to operate
KYE™ governs agents as first-class principals; it does not run them. You keep your stack; the service is the authority and the evidence, delivered over it.How the service works, in four steps
From an agent’s attempted action to a regulator-ready record, the path is fixed and the same for every agent framework you use.
Agent governance as a service
When the thing acting is an autonomous agent, AI governance becomes agent governance: a per-action decision about who the agent is allowed to act as and what it may do. KYE Protocol™ delivers that as a service across every agent framework — so you govern once, not once per stack.
Any agent framework
One neutral service layer governs LangChain, CrewAI, the OpenAI and Claude agent SDKs, or a homegrown loop — KYE™ never runs the agent, so it overlays them all.Agents as principals
Each agent gets a canonical identity, authority bindings, memory authority and metering — governed with the same weight as any human or system principal.Why as-a-service beats build-it-yourself
You can assemble governance from a toolkit — a policy engine, an audit store, a key system, framework mappings — and then own the upkeep forever. Or you switch on the service. For most teams the as-a-service path is faster to defensible and cheaper to keep.
| Concern | Build it yourself (toolkit) | KYE Protocol™ as a service |
|---|---|---|
| Time to defensible | Months of integration, key management and framework mapping | Pilot in weeks; exam-prep cut from days to minutes |
| Verification | You build and host the proof system | Replay-Proof™ from a published key — no system to host |
| Framework coverage | You author and maintain the mappings | 170 frameworks with per-requirement bindings, kept current |
| Lock-in | Coupled to the toolkit and the stack it runs in | Vendor-neutral; evidence is portable across vendors and time |
Honest boundary: governance as a service here means the authority decision and the evidence are delivered as a service — KYE™ does not run your agents or your AI models. Keep building agents however you build them; KYE Protocol™ is the verifiable authority and evidence layer over them. See the toolkit comparison and open vs proprietary for where the line sits.
