    EVE CoreGuard

    N/AN/AEVE CoreGuard governs what an AI system is allowed to do, and proves what it did. An agent proposes an action. CoreGuard evaluates it against deterministic policy packs and returns ALLOWED, BLOCKED, or MODIFIED before the protected executor is entered. The boundary is fail-closed: without an ALLOW bound by digest to that exact operation, the executor refuses to run. No language model participates in the verdict. Policy packs are…

    N/AThe more AI is embedded into daily workflows, the more proactive governance is required to drive responsible, ethical decisions across the business. Watsonx.governance is used to direct, manage, and monitor an organization’s AI activities, and employs software automation to strengthen the user's ability to mitigate risk, manage regulatory requirements and address ethical concerns without the excessive costs of switching data science platforms—even for models developed using third-party tools.N/A

    We have been able to make the right decisions based on performance metrics. Data assets across the enterprise have experienced significant growth from comprehensive audits that drive quality growth. The platform has filtered out poorly analyzed data from the workflow chain and introduced stable control mechanisms that meet compliance policies.

    Research data can be handled and
    governed more effectively to save time and minimize errors. Practical learning helps students
    become more marketable to employers by giving them practical experience with
    industry-standard tools.
    Updates content on AI
    governance in courses to make them more appealing to students. Lowers the time
    needed to manually check for biases, increasing the validity of research
    findings.

    • It has massively cut down the time our compliance teams spent on preparing compliance packs for EU emissions report. We're talking 4 weeks of manual tracing and spreadsheet validations to just under 3 days now!
    • IBM watsonx.governance flags anomalies in shipping data 2 weeks earlier than our older system, saving us thousands by renegotiating contracts before spot prices rise

    EVE CoreGuard Screenshots

    Screenshot of Pre-execution enforcement: a blocked AI action. CoreGuard intercepts a proposed AI action, evaluates it against deterministic policy, and terminates execution before it runs. Shows the live gate round-trip, the CRD score, and the policy class that fired. No LLM anywhere in the decision path.Screenshot of Independently verifiable decision evidence. Every decision is sealed into a signed record that any auditor can verify offline against EVE's published key, with no EVE account and no live connection required. Shows the full seal pipeline: Request, Policy Gate, Decision, Signed Certificate, Audit Ledger.Screenshot of Scan an AI agent before you let it act. Authority Lab parses an agent's declared surface, whether an OpenAPI spec, MCP server manifest, AWS IAM policy or tool definitions, for excessive authority, standing credentials and bypass paths, then returns a signed, independently verifiable Agent Authority Report.Screenshot of Author and compile deterministic policy. Write a policy in EVE's YAML policy DSL and compile it to a reviewable, versioned, deterministic pack, the same shape CoreGuard enforces at runtime. Templates ship for agentic safety, financial, healthcare and PII baselines. The public compiler produces a draft only; activation is a separate governed step.
