AI agent continuous assurance

Know which AI agents exist.
Prove which ones can operate.

Ostelun brings discovery, evidence, authorization, and re-verification into one defensible workflow—so security teams can govern AI agents without turning governance into another spreadsheet exercise.

One operating model

From unknown agent to defensible authorization.

Ostelun separates the questions that enterprise programs too often collapse together: What exists? What proof do we have? Who authorized it? What changed?

01

Discover

Build an AI-agent candidate inventory from bounded control-plane discovery and normalized security signals—with source provenance and exact identity keys retained.

  • Candidate-first classification
  • Exact identity correlation
  • Conflict review that fails closed
02

Assure

Turn requirements into an evidence plan. Keep machine, hybrid, and human proof distinct so reviewers can see exactly what supports each conclusion.

  • Machine-backed evidence
  • Human approval provenance
  • Evidence ledger and findings
03

Authorize

Make the operating decision explicit. Claiming an agent never means it is approved; authorization is a separate, evidence-backed state.

  • Deterministic assurance gate
  • Conditional and review states
  • Portable Assurance Passport
04

Continuously reverify

Track material change against the conditions that supported authorization and selectively re-check what actually changed.

  • Material-change tracking
  • Selective re-verification
  • Evidence freshness semantics
The Ostelun workflow

Governance that behaves like an operating control.

A single lifecycle connects discovery to evidence-backed authorization without erasing the trust boundary between them.

Discovery is not assurance.Finding an agent does not prove it is safe, compliant, or approved to operate. Ostelun keeps those states separate by design.
Agent security governance

Bound the agent, not just the model.

Ostelun connects assurance state to the agent’s identity, tools, permissions, dependencies, and proposed actions—while keeping observed facts, declared baselines, and policy decisions distinguishable.

01

Least Agency

Compare observed tools and permissions to approved baselines, surface broad privilege and state-changing capability, and leave missing telemetry explicitly not evaluated.

  • Approved vs. observed permissions
  • Tool and capability drift
  • Human-approval boundaries
02

OWASP Agentic mappings

Map Ostelun controls and active Least Agency signals to all ten OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026 risk areas.

  • ASI01–ASI10 cross-references
  • Active signal visibility
  • Mapping is not certification
03

AI-BOM Lite

Project known identities, models, tools, MCP servers, data sources, permissions, connectors, and declared dependencies into a provenance-aware inventory.

  • Source provenance retained
  • JSON export in the product
  • Ostelun-native, not CycloneDX/SPDX conformance
04

Runtime policy decisions

Evaluate proposed actions against assurance state, approved tools and permissions, Least Agency findings, impact, and recorded human approval before execution.

  • Allow, monitor, approve, or deny
  • Fail-closed policy decisions
  • External enforcement requires an adapter
≠
Integration boundaries stay explicit.Native Microsoft discovery can be combined with normalized ingest contracts for OpenAI, Azure OpenAI / Microsoft Foundry, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, GitHub Copilot, MCP runtimes, and OpenTelemetry. A normalized contract is not a native vendor connector, and a policy decision is not proof that an external runtime enforced it.
Designed for security scrutiny

Trust is part of the data model, not a marketing layer.

Ostelun is being built around conservative identity, provenance, and authorization semantics so a security team can defend not just the answer—but how the answer was reached.

Read Ostelun’s security principles
01
Least agency & privilege

Bound both Ostelun’s collection access and each agent’s approved tools, permissions, autonomy, and human-approval boundaries.

02
Explicit provenance

Direct collection, external ingestion, fixture data, and human review remain distinguishable.

03
Exact correlation

Names and fuzzy similarity do not silently merge identities. Contradictory strong keys fail closed.

04
Customer-controlled enforcement

An Ostelun authorization or runtime policy state is not an enforcement action unless a customer explicitly connects an authorized adapter or gateway.

Assurance Passport

Make the authorization explainable.

Give reviewers and stakeholders a compact view of the evidence, decisions, and current proof state supporting an AI agent’s authorization.

The Passport reflects Ostelun’s recorded assurance state. It does not imply certification by a third party.

Design partner program

Help shape the operating model for AI-agent assurance.

We’re looking for security, AI governance, and platform teams willing to apply Ostelun to real enterprise AI-agent workflows and help prioritize the controls, integrations, and operating experiences that matter most.
