For High-Stakes & Regulated Operations
When your agents touch regulated systems — moving value, accessing customer records, calling privileged APIs — PermitNetworks decides, per action and in sub-millisecond, whether each one is allowed. Custody-free, audit-grade, deployable in your own VPC.
These aren't hypothetical risks. They're architectural gaps that exist today in every high-stakes system running AI agents.
An LLM agent misinterprets a support ticket and triggers an action it was never meant to — a large value transfer, a bulk record export, a privileged API call. No existing IAM system catches this: the agent had valid credentials.
Every privileged action an agent takes is a governance event. Who approved it? Under what policy? At what time? Can you produce cryptographic proof three years later?
Traditional review operates in minutes. An agent can attempt hundreds of actions in the same window. Post-hoc detection isn't good enough — authorization has to happen inline, before each action executes.
PermitNetworks sits inline between your AI agent and the system it is acting on. It adds < 2ms to the request path — below the threshold of any existing latency SLA.

Built for the constraints of regulated, high-stakes systems — not adapted from general-purpose tools.
Per-agent, per-minute, per-hour, per-day action limits. Configurable by count AND value. Hot-reload without deployment.
Low-risk → auto-approve. Medium → manual review. High-impact → dual approval. All configurable per agent role.
Deny actions against disallowed targets or categories by agent or role. Declarative policy — no code changes required.
Export every decision with cryptographic proof in CEF, LEEF, or signed JSON — ready for your SIEM (Splunk, QRadar) and auditors in minutes.
For high-risk actions, require two separate agents (or agent + human) to co-sign with Ed25519 signatures before a permit is issued.
Integrate with existing fraud systems (Sift, Stripe Radar, Featurespace) — PermitNetworks calls them during the decision flow.
We mark what's live and what's in progress. No ambiguity.
| Standard | How we support it | Status |

| SOC 2 Type II | Annual audit, Merkle-verified logs | In progress (2026) |
| GDPR / KVKK | Data residency options, 72-hour breach notification | Compliant |
| SOX | Immutable audit trail, change management | Supported |
| SIEM export | CEF / LEEF / signed JSON for Splunk, QRadar, and auditors | Supported |
We're working closely with a small group of design partners in regulated and high-stakes environments. If your team is deploying AI agents that take consequential actions, we want to talk.
One authorize call before the action. One confirm call after. Everything else is policy configuration — no logic changes in your application flow.
import { PermitClient } from "@permitnetworks/sdk";
const permit = new PermitClient({
apiKey: process.env.PERMIT_API_KEY,
agentId: "support-agent-01",
});
// Before the agent takes a high-impact action, ask for authorization
const decision = await permit.authorize({
action: "data.export",
resource: `customer:${customerId}`,
metadata: {
record_count: 4200,
destination: "external-bucket",
reason: "bulk report",
},
});
if (decision.effect === "allow") {
await exportCustomerRecords(customerId);
await permit.confirm(decision.id); // Close the audit loop
} else {
throw new Error(`Action blocked: ${decision.reason}`);
}
Numbers that hold at high-throughput production scale, not just startup traffic.
