TRIGGUARD USE CASE / HEALTHCARE

// Lead with the threat, solve with the receipt

Healthcare execution governance

Assistants that can draft orders, hit EHR APIs, or call billing integrations turn natural-language ambiguities into write paths. Without a pre-execution authorization layer, the blast radius is clinical and privacy: wrong patient, wrong med, exfil to the wrong system.

The blast radius

A model can produce a confident sequence of tool calls. If the only defense is the application's "trust the LLM chain," you are one hallucination away from a PHI-bearing API call. Traditional audit trails report events; they do not replace a mechanical permit on the HTTP client.

The TrigGuard interlock

Bind every clinical or administrative execution surface—orders, chart writes, document routing—to a policy. TrigGuard returns PERMIT, DENY, or SILENCE with a signed receipt (Ed25519 over canonical JSON). Only PERMIT releases the downstream client. Offline verification uses published keys from /.well-known/trigguard-keys.json; evidence can be shown to risk and to supervisors without a vendor callback story.
