Security Leaders

Make agent authority a security control.

Define where consequential actions are checked, who owns policy and what evidence establishes that enforcement works.

Where the action needs a decision

Valid identities and approved tools can still produce invalid business outcomes. Security teams need an explicit pre-execution control boundary and a way to test it as workflows change.

01

Prioritise consequential tools

Start with payment, export, access-change and production-change workflows. Name the final executor and its owner.

02

Set action policy

Express the permitted actor, purpose, destination and delegated scope. Test a denied operation as well as normal business activity.

03

Review evidence and gaps

Use runtime attachment and outcome evidence to identify unconnected paths before expanding agent authority.

Build a testable deployment.

Bring a representative workflow to a deployment review. Agree the interception point, failure handling and evidence requirements with the team that owns the business system.

See the decision before the action.

Try a local scenario, then bring your workflow to a deployment review. Start with one agent and one tool, and see exactly where the action can be stopped.
