Authenticated actors, service identities and accountable ownership.
SECURITY & CONTROL PLANE
Control follows consequence.
The Control Plane is designed to surround every mission, model, tool and action with identity, policy, approval, evaluation, observability and reversibility.
PlannedLast verified 2026-08-20
OPERATING ROLE
A controlled layer, not a standalone feature.
Security and governance are operating controls, not a universal compliance label. The selected deployment determines infrastructure, data, model, key, administrator and update authority.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
What this layer is designed to control.
Least privilege
Only the permissions required for the approved mission and timeframe.
Policy enforcement
Consistent rules across models, tools, data and deployment environments.
Human approvals
Qualified review before consequential decisions or irreversible actions.
Segregation of duties
Sensitive actions require appropriate independent authority.
Spend & rate limits
Budgets, usage limits, throttling and exception handling.
Audit & observability
Traceable events, evaluations, performance, incidents and evidence.
Kill switches & rollback
Fail-safe pause, isolation, recovery and controlled reversal.
