AI agent security & operational safety
Put organisational authority at the point where AI agents and automated workflows act. OSYRA’s architecture connects current approvals, controlled execution and accountable recovery—designed to reduce unauthorised commitments, contain disruption and keep legitimate work moving.
Control beyond technical access
An agent may be able to reach a tool while its approval no longer covers the supplier, amount, site or task it is about to change. A convincing instruction does not create authority. A timeout does not establish that an action failed.
OSYRA is being built to keep that authority connected to the exact action, the conditions supporting it and its decision history. This gives security, engineering and operational teams a shared control objective: supported work proceeds; changed or unsupported work is reassessed; uncertain effects are reconciled.
The value reaches beyond stopping a bad tool call. It extends to the commitments an organisation makes, the work that continues after conditions change and the evidence available when a decision must be explained.
Six security and safety capabilities
The control design addresses authority, change, execution and recovery together. Each capability targets a concrete source of operational exposure.
Use authenticated sources and organisation-approved rules for the action’s authority. An agent’s generated instruction or explanation must not grant itself permission.
Reduce the risk of a persuasive instruction being treated as permission. Keep business and institutional rules separate from what an agent generates or is asked to do.
Keep approval connected to the exact request and relevant versions. Reassess affected work when its scope, supporting conditions or delegated authority changes.
Reduce exposure to outdated approvals and mismatched commitments. Focus review on the work affected by a change, so unrelated authorised activity can continue.
Apply the agreed conditions at every relevant execution route in the integration, including delegated work. A check only protects the actions that actually depend on it.
Keep the organisation’s mandate consistent as work moves between connected tools and agents. Give security teams a clear view of where decisions are enforced and where additional controls are needed.
Establish the prior outcome or a tested way to avoid duplicate effects before retry. Check current authority before any new effect; changed work cannot silently reuse the old approval.
Reduce the risk of a second order, duplicate release or conflicting correction after a timeout. Give operators a clear recovery decision instead of another blind attempt.
Retain linked provenance and ordered records of the decision, attempt and observed outcome, so a reviewer can identify changes and reconstruct the available basis.
Support faster investigation and clearer accountability by preserving the basis used at the time. Let reviewers distinguish permission, an execution attempt and the observed consequence.
Use alternative checks and task limits only where an accountable institution permits them. Otherwise defer or seek human review, with later reconciliation defined.
Support continuity through agreed alternatives, limited activity and accountable escalation. Keep an outage from turning into unrestricted permission or an unnecessary halt to every workflow.
Retry & recovery
An illustrative purchasing scenario: an agent submits an approved order, then the connection drops. Sending it again could create a second commitment. Restoring the connection does not resolve what happened.
Keep three facts distinct
Reconcile with the receiving system’s confirmed result. The recovery path should recognise the completed effect rather than submit the same order again.
Check that the exact action is still authorised and use the receiving system’s tested duplicate protection. A changed order needs its own current basis.
Reconcile or escalate. Retry only where the integration can establish that it is safe from duplicate effects; an unknown result is not permission for a fresh commitment.
Illustrative workflow. Confirmed completion comes from the receiving system; recovery combines that evidence with current authority and tested duplicate protection.
The wider design includes retry limits, circuit breakers and isolated resources to help contain cascading failures. These established engineering controls need implementation and load testing in the selected workflow. A correction, replacement or compensation also needs its own authority.
Enterprise and government impact
Apply the same authority discipline to commercial commitments and public-service workflows, while each organisation retains its rules and decision responsibilities.
Purchasing, workforce assignments and supplier changes connect approvals to money, people and downstream work. OSYRA’s design focuses on tighter control over those commitments with less repeated checking and reconciliation.
Public procurement, regulated-workforce coordination and service workflows rely on current delegations, responsible sources and explainable decisions. OSYRA’s design focuses on controlled action that remains connected to institutional responsibility.
Where the control must hold
Connect authority to the systems that create the consequence. Keep ownership of the rules, sources and permitted exceptions with the responsible organisation.
Define the consequence. Agree the action, its scope, required approvals, permitted exceptions and accountable owner.
Connect every relevant route. Establish where the decision is enforced and how alternate tools, delegates and overrides are handled. Unconnected actions remain outside the control.
Retain the security foundation. Identity and access management, data protection, key management, isolation, network and endpoint security, model safeguards and human oversight remain necessary.
Preserve an honest outcome. Distinguish what was authorised, what was attempted and what was confirmed. Report unresolved effects and evidence gaps.
OSYRA’s role is to connect action authority, affected work and recovery with this security foundation—giving the organisation a coherent basis for control and review.
Security assurance
OSYRA is in development, with private demonstrators and selected internal synthetic tests. The capabilities on this page describe the architecture and intended benefits. Production integration, independent security assurance and measured customer outcomes are the next milestones.
Choose a consequential action, its connected routes and the security outcome that matters. Compare the selected capability against a capable existing approach using agreed normal and adverse cases.
Count unsupported actions, duplicate effects, missed interventions and bypasses, alongside valid completions, unnecessary holds, latency and recovery effort.
Use the evidence to decide where the capability adds value, what integration is needed and whether to extend it. Match the deployment decision to the tested version, environment and control coverage.
Assurance covers source integrity and enforcement across the agreed action routes, alongside existing identity, infrastructure and model safeguards. Review the current implementation scope and evidence on the development page.
For security, engineering and operational leaders
Bring one non-confidential workflow: the consequence, the condition that can change and the failure you need to handle. We can discuss a focused evaluation.
