The AI does not decide.
You do.

ATOM is the AI-powered governance layer that sits between your applications and every AI model you use -- including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and your internal agents. Built on ABE (Authority Before Execution), every request requires a valid authority grant before any execution path exists. Every decision is recorded. Nothing unauthorized gets through.

“AI governance that happens after execution is not governance.
It is forensics.

✗ The old approach
  • Monitor AI outputs after they’re generated
  • Detect policy violations after the call fires
  • Log what the AI did · then investigate later
  • Hope autonomous agents don’t do something wrong
  • Scramble to explain AI decisions to regulators
✓ The ATOM approach
  • Govern every AI request before it executes
  • Block unauthorized actions before they happen
  • Record every decision with cryptographic proof
  • Enforce agent boundaries at the execution layer
  • Produce audit evidence in real time

ATOM governs every request

Before any model executes, ATOM evaluates the request for risk, applies your policy, scores the intent, and decides: allow, warn, or block. The model only fires if authorized.

AUTHORITY BEFORE EXECUTION

Governance after execution
is not governance. It is forensics.

ABE takes pre-execution governance to its logical conclusion. No execution path exists without a valid authority grant. Not a denial. An architectural absence.

Traditional approach

Execute first, audit later

  • Request executes against the model
  • Output is logged post-generation
  • Harmful content identified after delivery
  • Policy violation discovered in audit
  • Remediation happens after damage

ABE approach

Authority required before any path exists

  • Request evaluated against authority grants
  • No grant = no execution path (not a block)
  • Harmful content cannot be generated
  • Policy is enforced architecturally
  • Nothing to remediate

ABE MODE RESPONSE -- NO AUTHORITY GRANT

AGENTIC AI GOVERNANCE

Single-call governance is not enough.
Agents need a different approach.

In a multi-step agent workflow, a hallucinated output at step 2 becomes the ground truth for steps 3 through 10. ATOM governs every hop, tracks cumulative risk, and halts the run before hallucination compounds.

PER-STEP GOVERNANCE

Every step is governed

ATOM intercepts every call in an agent workflow, not just the first and last. Each step gets its own RIS score, CII, and governance decision before execution continues.

PROPAGATION DETECTION

Flagged outputs don’t propagate

When a step’s output is flagged, ATOM tracks whether that output becomes the input for subsequent steps. Propagation triggers an immediate warning before the hallucination compounds.

RISK BUDGET

Cumulative risk enforcement

Each step contributes to a cumulative risk score. When the run-level budget is exceeded, ATOM halts the workflow entirely. A single RIS-4 detection stops the run immediately.

INTELLIGENT ROUTING

Route to the best provider per step

Each step in a workflow can route to a different provider based on real performance data. Early steps use the fastest provider. High-stakes steps route to the highest-integrity provider.

What ATOM does

Twenty-four capabilities.
One control plane.

🛡

Pre-Execution Governance

Every AI action is authorized before it executes. Not monitored after. Not logged after. Authorized before.

📊

RIS Scoring

Real-time Reasoning Integrity Score from RIS-0 (clean) to RIS-4 (critical threat). Every call, every provider, in real time.

👁

Shadow Mode

Deploy ATOM in shadow mode to see what would have been blocked · without blocking anything. Enable enforcement when ready.

Multi-Provider

Bring your own API keys for any provider. Set your preferred model. Configure fallback routing. ATOM handles everything else.

🔒

Audit Ledger

SHA-256 hash-chained, immutable audit trail. Every governance decision recorded with policy snapshot. Regulator-ready evidence.

Enforcement Modes

Shadow → Enforced → Hard-Fail. Start observing. Enable blocking when ready. Escalate to zero-tolerance for regulated workloads.

🤖

Agent Governance

Govern complete multi-step AI agent workflows. Every step evaluated before execution. Per-agent policy. Full execution trace.

🔔

Webhook Delivery

Real-time governance events delivered to your systems via HMAC-signed webhooks. Block, warn, and allow events streamed the moment they occur.

👥

Team & Roles

Invite your team with role-based access control. Admin, developer, viewer, and security officer roles. Per-user governance scoping.

🖥

Local Model Governance

Govern GGUF models running on your own infrastructure. Zero data egress. Same pre-execution governance, audit trail, and RIS scoring.

Streaming Governance

Govern streaming AI responses in real time. Pre-execution governance runs before the first token streams. Blocks never let a single token through.

🔏

Sensitive Data Protection

Stop PII, HIPAA identifiers, and custom sensitive terms before they reach any AI model. Govern Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and every governed provider. Block or redact · your choice.

🛡

Prompt Injection Detection

Every prompt scanned before reaching any model. Injection patterns, jailbreak attempts, and bypass language blocked pre-execution at HTTP 451. Zero provider cost on blocked calls.

🔬

Response Evaluation

Post-execution output scored for hallucination risk, semantic coherence, and factual consistency. Responses above the block threshold are rejected before delivery. Responses in the warn range have overconfident language sanitized automatically. Governance does not stop at the input.

📊

Governance Stance

ATOM operates in one of five stances: STRICT, STANDARD, PERMISSIVE, DEFENSIVE, or LOCKDOWN. Shifts automatically based on trust score, drift, and incident patterns.

🗂

Call Trace Viewer

Every governed call stored with full input, output, decision, RIS level, CII, latency, and security findings. Browseable and filterable by tenant.

🔑

Output Watermarking

Every governed response carries an HMAC-SHA256 watermark. Verify at any time that output was not tampered with after issuance. Tenant, RIS level, decision, and provider are signed into every response.

🌐

Cross-Tenant Threat Intelligence

Privacy-safe threat signals shared across all tenants in real time. Pattern hashes only - no raw prompt content. Injection attempts blocked at one tenant become signals for all. 30-day rolling feed.

📈

Behavioral Anomaly Detection

Per-tenant call pattern tracking with 1h/24h sliding windows. Automatic alerts for call spikes (>3σ), high block rates (>30%), provider spread, and elevated latency. No configuration required.

🔗

Prompt Lineage Tracking

Track multi-step agent calls through a full lineage chain. chain_id links every step of a reasoning sequence. Semantic overlap scored at each step. Replay any chain for forensic review.

🔐

Authority-Before-Execution (ABE)

Structural enforcement mode where execution is undefined without a prior authority grant. No grant issued → no execution possible. Time-bounded, scope-limited, cryptographically verified. Patent Pending US 63/958,209.

Intelligent Provider Routing

Security Architecture

Built for enterprises that cannot
afford to trust by default.

Zero Content Retention

ATOM records governance decisions, not content. Your prompts and model outputs are never stored. Only the verdict is logged.

Cryptographic Audit Trail

Every governance decision is SHA-256 hash-chained. Any modification to any historical record breaks the chain. Mathematically tamper-evident.

Complete Tenant Isolation

Cross-tenant access is architecturally impossible. Every API key is cryptographically bound to a single tenant. Every database query is parameterized by tenant ID.

Encrypted Provider Keys

Your provider API keys are encrypted at rest. The encryption key lives only in the platform environment, not in the database. Only a 4-character preview is ever returned.

We document what we can and cannot see because trust requires honesty.
Read our full Security Architecture in the documentation.

PROVIDER INTELLIGENCE

Route to the best provider.
Automatically.

ATOM scores every provider on latency, cost, governance integrity, and drift in real time. Every governed call routes to the optimal provider for that request automatically, with full audit trail.

Open Standard

The RIS Standard.

ATOM is built on three formal standards developed by Atom Labs. LCAC governs what AI can access. RIS measures how AI reasons. CII combines both into a unified trust score.

These are open specifications, published under CC BY 4.0, with DOIs on ResearchGate. Organizations using ATOM receive real-time RIS scores for every governed call.
