Agent Governance and Control

Who can stop an agent, and how fast?

Know what every agent can do, configure controls in the platforms you already own, and stop any agent fast.

In brief

Agent Governance and Control is a Kalosys service that inventories the AI agents, copilots and integrations an organization uses, defines what each may and may not do, configures controls in the platforms it already owns, and tests how quickly any agent can be stopped. Leadership and the board get regular reporting on AI performance and risk.

THE PROBLEM

Why this matters now

AI agents and assistants now take actions: they read data, call tools, send messages and change records. Business teams often deploy them faster than security can review them. Most organizations can't say what agents exist, what each is allowed to do, or how quickly one could be stopped.

HOW IT WORKS

Start small, prove value, then run it

AI agents now take actions: they read data, call tools, send messages and change records. Business teams often deploy them faster than security can review them. We start by finding every agent and what it can reach, then we put controls in place, using the governance tools in platforms you already own wherever possible: approval gates for risky actions, a clear spec of what each agent may and may not do, audit logging, and the ability to stop any agent fast. We also give your leadership and board a clear view of AI performance and risk.

QUESTIONS

What leaders usually ask

Do you replace our governance tools?

No. We configure and operate controls in the platforms you already own, such as Microsoft Agent 365, ServiceNow or AWS, and fill the gaps between them.

Which frameworks do you align to?

We map controls to the frameworks you already use, such as NIST, ISO 27001 or SOC 2, and use OWASP guidance for AI and agent-specific risks.

What is a kill switch?

A tested procedure, and the technical means, to stop or disable an agent quickly, including who is authorized to trigger it.

What does the board receive?

A regular, plain-language report on what AI is in use, how it is performing, the main risks, and any incidents. The format is designed with you.

Our vendors already have guardrails built in.

Good, and we'll use them. Platforms such as Microsoft Agent 365, ServiceNow and AWS now include agent governance tools. We configure and run those controls for you, and cover what they don't: agents across different platforms, links to your security operations, and evidence for auditors.

We don't have many agents yet.

That makes it the cheapest time to set the controls. Retrofitting governance after agents are spread across the business is much harder.

Governance will slow innovation.

Done well it does the opposite. Clear rules and a standard review mean new agents get approved faster, because everyone knows what good looks like.
