Control what AI systems are allowed to do before actions execute

Evaluate, permit, deny, or silence machine actions before they change production systems - with signed receipts you can verify offline.

AI wants to act. TrigGuard decides whether execution is authorized.

Execution posture

Fail-closed by default

Fail-closed execution model.

Cryptographic receipts

Receipts verifiable offline.

Built for critical systems

Auditable execution posture.

EXECUTION AUTHORIZATION GATEWAY

How TrigGuard Works

TrigGuard enforces a non-bypassable authorization gate: all automation must pass through it before any irreversible action executes.

This happens before any API call or side effect.

AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

AI Agents

Agents and copilots that drive automation

Scripts & Workflows

Infrastructure-as-code and runbooks

CI/CD pipelines

Build, release, and deploy automation

Automation tools

n8n, Airflow, and custom stacks

TRIGGUARD

EXECUTION AUTHORIZATION GATEWAY

  • Validates every request

    Risk-aware checks before irreversible acts

  • Evaluates policy & context

    Governance mapped to executable rules

  • Signs decisions

    Cryptographic receipts on the hot path

  • Returns permit or deny

    Deterministic verdicts downstream can enforce

EXECUTION SURFACES

Deployments

Rolling out production-bound changes

Transfers

Treasury and fund movement intents

Exports

Controlled data egress and sharing

External APIs

Paid lanes and outbound integrations

Infrastructure

  • CRYPTOGRAPHIC RECEIPTSEvery decision is signed, verifiable, tamper-evident.
  • BUILT FOR CRITICAL SYSTEMSLow latency, high reliability, designed for the execution path.
  • DETERMINISTIC RUNTIMEConsistent decisions across environments and deployments.

Every path resolves to PERMIT, DENY, or SILENCE and emits a signed receipt.

Control plane vs data plane

TrigGuard sits between automation systems and irreversible execution surfaces, providing real-time authorization for every critical action.

CONTROL PLANE

Governance & configuration

TrigGuard policy

Rules · governance · configuration

Policies & rules

Approval logic and conditions

Identities & roles

Who can do what, where, and how

Signing & keys

Key management and signatures

Audit & observability

Audit logs, metrics, and insights

DATA PLANE

Execution & enforcement

SDK / agent

Intents are created by agents or automation systems

Execution proxy

Optional proxy for routing, network controls, and caching

Runtime gateway

Deterministic authorization on the hot path

Execution surfaces

Deployments, transfers, exports, APIs, infrastructure, and more

EXECUTION SURFACES

Execution Surfaces

Every irreversible action passes through an authorization decision.

1. Financial operations

Payments

Payment authorization, settlement control, and disbursement verification.

Transfers

Treasury movement, payment release, and settlement flow.

Treasury actions

Liquidity operations, cash management, and financial approvals.

Settlement control

Trade settlement, netting, and reconciliation authorization.

2. Infrastructure

Deployments

Production state changes, rollouts, and configuration updates.

Cloud resources

Compute, storage, network, and service lifecycle operations.

Infrastructure changes

System updates, scaling, and critical infrastructure modifications.

External APIs

Third-party integrations and outbound system interactions.

3. Data & identity

Data export

Irreversible data boundary crossings, extractions, and disclosures.

Record access

Sensitive record retrieval, bulk access, and data visibility changes.

Identity changes

User provisioning, deprovisioning, and role modifications.

Permission operations

Access grants, privilege escalation, and policy modifications.

Select an action, view the decision

Simulated locally. Each selection returns a decision and receipt fields - no backend required.

Select an action to view the authorization decision.

Example receipts

Signed on every decision path. Verify offline without a vendor log pipeline.
