The Governance Model

Every agent passes through one accountable layer.

The principle is simple: no agent should reach production unclassified. SAL is designed to sit between the agent and deployment — mapping it to standards, attaching ownership and review, and producing the evidence a regulated business can stand behind.

What Is SAL

Built to be the system of record for the agents doing your work.

SAL is the governance layer for enterprise AI agents. It classifies every agent, maps it to recognized standards, attaches a human owner and review gates, and produces audit-ready evidence — so an autonomous agent becomes an accountable one.

Classify

Every agent mapped to a recognized role and standard, not an ad-hoc label.

Govern

A named human owner, an action boundary, and review gates before work ships.

Verify

Audit-ready evidence and a citable record that travels with the agent.

The Enterprise AI Problem

Autonomous agents are arriving faster than they can be governed.

Agents are entering regulated workflows without classification, ownership, or an audit trail. Each ungoverned agent is unaccounted risk — to compliance, to security, and to the people who answer for the outcome. Spreadsheets and one-off policies do not survive a vendor-risk review.

Why This Category Matters Now

Operational trust can't be retrofitted.

Agents are proliferating

Every platform now ships autonomous agents. The number of agents touching regulated work is climbing faster than oversight can keep up.

Regulation is tightening

Frameworks such as the EU AI Act place obligations on deployers — not just model builders — for how AI systems are used in production.

Audits are coming

When the questionnaire lands, organizations need classification, ownership, and evidence already in place. It cannot be assembled after the fact.

Core Capabilities

Classify, govern, verify, audit, deploy.

Classify

Resolve any agent to a source-backed occupation, regulation, or framework.

Govern

Define ownership, allowed actions, escalation paths, and human review gates.

Verify

Evaluate against published criteria and issue a citable certification record.

Audit

Preserve mappings, citations, approvals, and activity as audit-ready evidence.

Deploy

Release governed role agents into regulated work with accountability attached.

The SAL Governance Record

The artifact enterprises need before agents enter production.

SAL does not replace the model, agent runtime, or workflow engine. It surrounds deployment with the identity, governance metadata, standards mapping, evidence package, and verification status that regulated organizations need to inspect.

The governance record is the durable control object: who owns the agent, what it is allowed to do, which standards apply, where review is required, and what evidence follows the agent into audit.

Enterprise Use Cases

One governed record across product, GRC, and enterprise review.

For AI Governance & GRC

Classify the agents in your AI register

Enrich AI inventories with human oversight, agent permissions, and SOC, CFR, NIST, NAICS, and ISCO mappings instead of inventing a taxonomy.

Review licensing

For AI Platform Vendors

Ship agents with accountability built in

Attach SAL governance records so buyers can see the human owner, agent boundary, source data, and regulatory surface behind each capability.

For Enterprise AI Deployers

Deploy governed role agents

Launch agents with the role, playbook, toolbox, safety protocols, and human review gates organized before the work begins.

9,483 agent specifications, cited to source.

SAL provides standardized identity and governance infrastructure for autonomous digital workers. In practice, SAL resolves an agent to a source-backed role, the standards that apply to it, and the audit record that should travel with deployment. The registry spans SOC occupations, CFR regulations, NIST cybersecurity, NAICS industries, and ISCO international standards — each record traceable to U.S. government and international source data.

SAL Certified

Certification backed by a public, citable record.

Submit an AI agent for evaluation against SAL's certification criteria. Certified agents receive an embeddable badge that resolves to a public profile with standards mappings, human oversight, and evidence.

Source cited

Mappings preserve the citation trail for downstream review.

Human review

Oversight gates clarify what needs approval before action.

Verifiable badge

Every badge resolves to a public, inspectable profile.

Regulated Industries

Built for industries where AI must be accountable.

Healthcare
Finance

Insurance

Enterprise agent deployment will require governed infrastructure.

SAL is the control layer where enterprise AI agents become classified, governed, verified, and accountable before they touch regulated work.
