Runtime control for custom AI agents.


VisIQ helps teams safely move custom-built agents into production by controlling what they can retrieve, execute, approve, and record before they touch real systems.

Control at runtime. Before execution.

Built to be audited.

Fail-closed by default. Compliance artifacts generated at runtime, not reconstructed after the fact.

  • Fail-closed by default
  • Zero unevaluated tool calls permitted
  • Signed envelope for every decision
  • Aligned with SOC 2 · NIST AI RMF · EU AI Act · ISO 42001 · EU DORA

Different Layer. Different Question.

Monitoring watches. VisIQ decides.

The market moved from AI experimentation to AI execution. Dashboards and policy language are not control. The categories around VisIQ are adjacent, not equivalent.

  1. Filter

    They filter prompts.

    Prompt guardrails inspect prompts and responses at inference. Valuable, and blind to whether the resulting action was ever authorized.

  2. Map

    They inventory the estate.

    Posture and discovery tools map what AI exists in the estate. A necessary map that cannot stop a single call.

  3. Test

    They find the gaps.

    Red-team and assessment tools find the gaps before attackers do. The finding is the first half; the enforceable control that closes it is the other half.

decides, at runtime, with receipts.

The Framework

Four questions every enterprise must answer.

VisIQ is built around the four enforcement questions that define whether your custom AI agents are in control, or out of it.

  1. DISCOVER

    What custom AI agents are actually running in my environment?

  2. ISOLATE

    Is this custom agent running inside its boundaries?

  3. ALLOW

    Was this action actually authorized?

  4. RECORD

    Can you prove what was enforced?

01Normalized to one schemaAction Class · Target App · Amount — one canonical shape for every agent.

One Custom Agent. Two Realities.

What changes when is in the stack.

Without VisIQ

Logs. Not control.

  • Custom agents act first; logs record after
  • Authorization is assumed, not verified
  • Multi-agent delegation is invisible
  • Audit trails show what happened, not what was allowed
  • Compliance is reconstructed, not captured

With VisIQ

Proof. Not promises.

  • Every action checked before execution
  • Authorization is explicit, real-time, and logged
  • Multi-agent chains are bounded and traceable
  • Every enforcement decision produces a signed receipt
  • Compliance is built in, not bolted on

Default-Deny to Narrow-Allow

Start at NO.Author the GO.

Fail closed when no rule exists, preserve the deny reason, then author a narrow go for exactly that lane. The deny and the go both leave receipts.

  1. DEFAULT_DENY

    No rule covers the lane. The request fails closed: stopped, not caught.

  2. Reason preserved

    The deny reason lands on the signed receipt.

  3. Narrow rule authored

    A human decides once: a rule for exactly that lane.

  4. POLICY_ALLOW

    Enforced at runtime from then on. Every human decision becomes a standing go.

  5. One lane opens

    Everything else stays closed. Both decisions leave receipts.

While you're deciding, they're deploying.

Custom agents are the leapfrog. The only question is whether you can take it without flinching: governed, from the very first call.

Landscape

Where fits , and what it replaces.

VisIQ is not a SIEM, not a framework, and not a policy document. It is the control plane that sits between your custom AI agents and your systems, acting before the action, not after.

All that's left is to say go.

One integration. Every action governed. The next board question, answered with a receipt.
