Control and security

Clear controls over what AI may see and do.

The POLARIS IQ control plane governs how intelligence, agents and models operate across your business. As AI takes on more work, the controls around it grow too.

Discuss your requirementsSee an example

People, agents and systems reach only what their role allows.

Permissions and policies set the tasks, timing and conditions.

Guardrails make agents stop, escalate or ask a person.

Decisions, approvals, actions and outcomes are kept for audit.

What you get
01Access by rolePeople, agents and systems reach only the information, tools and actions they are allowed.
02Limits on actionSpending, operational and approval limits are set before any agent is allowed to act.
03A full recordContext, decisions, approvals, actions and outcomes are recorded for audit and review.

How we deliver

Four stages, each ending with something you can see and review before the next one starts.

01

Map access

We record who and what may reach each system, following the access rules you already have.

02

Set policy

Define what each agent may do, when, and which limits need a person to approve.

03

Observe

See what intelligence and agents are doing across your systems as they work.

04

Review

Audit records of decisions, approvals and outcomes support regular review of the rules.

An agent that may update delivery dates but not prices

A distributor wants an AI agent to update delivery dates in its ERP and tell customers about them. It must never change prices or credit terms.

A first phase could cover

We agree scope with you before work starts. For this kind of request, a first phase usually covers:

  • Agent permitted to read orders and stock, and to write delivery dates only
  • Any change to price or credit stopped and sent to the sales director
  • Every update recorded with who asked, what changed and who approved

A typical project, described to show the shape of the work. It is not a specific client.

Where this applies

The same engineering, shaped by the rules and realities of each sector.

Financial services

Agents limited by fraud and credit policy, with sign-off for anything above a limit.

Healthcare

Patient records reached only by approved roles, with every access recorded.

Public sector and education

Clear approval rules and audit records that match public accountability.

Energy and utilities

Changes to operational systems held behind safety checks and named approvers.

Manufacturing

Agents may plan shifts and orders, but budget changes stay with managers.

Logistics and supply chain

Booking and routing changes allowed within cost limits, others escalated.

Frequently asked questions

Does it respect the permissions we already have?

Yes. POLARIS IQ respects the access rules of the systems it connects to, and adds identity and permissions for every person and agent that uses it.

Can we limit which models see which data?

Yes. Model controls set which models are used for which tasks and data. Sensitive information can be kept to models hosted in your own environment.

How do we know what the agents are doing?

Observability shows what intelligence and agents are doing across your systems, and audit records keep the context, decisions, approvals, actions and outcomes.

Is our data kept secure?

Security covers your business information across every connected environment. POLARIS IQ can run in your cloud, on-premise or at the edge, so you choose where data is held.
