/ The flight recorder for AI.
One sealed record. /
Athena is the flight recorder for AI: proof of what your AI did and who authorised it, that anyone can verify for themselves, offline, without trusting us. In practice: A copilot goes to email a customer file to a supplier. Athena reads what is in the file and strips what must not leave. Because sending it is a consequential action, it stops and waits for the named person who has to approve it. When they approve, that approval and the exact email that went out are sealed together into one record. Your auditor opens that record on their own laptop and checks it with a free tool. Underneath, three parts write to one record: what your AI received, what a person approved and what actually ran are one chain, never three logs joined by timing.
Sees every call your people and systems make to an AI, then allows, redacts or blocks what crosses. Nothing leaves the boundary you set.
Holds every action that matters for a named person, and binds what they approved to what runs. Anything different is rejected.
Seals every decision into one record that an auditor verifies offline, on their own machine, without trusting Athena or us.
/ Data Control.
What is your AI seeing? /
Every call from your estate to a model, agent or tool passes Data Control first. It discovers the AI your people already use, classifies what is about to leave, and applies your policy in the path: allow, redact or block. The boundary fails closed, and every crossing is written to the record.
/ Secure Runtime.
What is your AI doing? /
Consequential actions are held at one checkpoint until a named human approves them. The approval is bound to the exact action that runs, with the authority it ran under recorded as a field. If what runs drifts from what was approved, it does not run. Confinement and a kill-switch sit underneath, so a runaway agent stops in milliseconds.
/ Sovereign Compliance.
Can anyone check it? /
Every decision from all three modules is canonicalised and signed with ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204). The verifier runs on an auditor’s laptop with the network cable pulled and returns a clear pass or a rejection. One changed byte is rejected. The keys are yours, so nobody needs to trust Athena, or us, to accept the evidence.
/ Four steps, in order.
None of them trusts us. /
A proxy in front of your model APIs, a hook on your agent runtime, an SDK where you need it. No rewrite of your stack.
Data Control filters what leaves. Secure Runtime holds consequential actions for a human. Both fail closed.
The approved action, the executed action and the authority behind it are bound into one canonical, signed record.
Your auditor runs the verifier on their own machine. Pass or reject, with no call to us.
/ Mapped to the frameworks
your auditor already uses. /
Each sealed record is cross-walked, in OSCAL, to the controls it evidences. Your auditor gets records and a machine-readable mapping, not a slide. We map evidence to controls; we do not issue a legal opinion, and we do not grant certification.
