Our mission

Make enterprise AI adoption safe.

CAGIS.ai is the enterprise control plane for AI agents. We believe teams shouldn't have to choose between moving fast with AI and staying in control — so we built the guardrails that let them do both. Guardrails for AI agents.

Why now

Agents got a terminal. Governance didn't keep up.

In the space of a year, AI stopped suggesting code and started running it — reading files, executing shell commands, hitting the network, and calling tools at machine speed on every laptop. The productivity is real. But the controls enterprises rely on for people — approvals, audit, least privilege, DLP — were never wired up for an agent that acts thousands of times a day.

That gap is where secrets leak into prompts, a prompt-injection turns into an exfiltration, and spend runs without attribution. CAGIS closes it — at the boundary where the agent actually acts.

Agents act, not suggest
Shell, files, network, and tools — at machine speed.
Everywhere at once
Every developer laptop, CI runner, and hosted surface.
Human controls don't fit
Approvals and audit built for people, not agents.
Invisible cost & risk
No policy, no trail, no idea what it's spending.
What CAGIS stands for

Five disciplines, one name

The name is the mandate. Cost, Agent, Governance, Intelligence, Security — the five things an enterprise has to get right to adopt AI with confidence, brought together in one control plane.

C
Cost

Token and spend metering, budgets, and adoption analytics — so AI value is measured, not assumed.

A
Agent

Governance that reaches every agent — Claude Code, Codex, and hosted surfaces — under one policy.

G
Governance

A native allow / ask / deny policy, every decision audited and attributed to a user and session.

I
Intelligence

Detection that understands intent — chains, obfuscation, and behavior, not just keywords.

S
Security

A 60-rule behavioral catalog enforced on-device, offline, and fail-closed by default.

The philosophy

Cages that contain, not cages that confine

Our name carries a second meaning. A good cage isn't a prison — it's the containment that makes powerful things safe to keep close. We design for exactly that: control without unnecessary restriction. The overwhelming majority of what an agent does is useful, and it should stay fast.

So CAGIS doesn't slow the work down — it draws a boundary around the small set of actions that could actually cause harm, and holds the line there. Read a secret, wipe a disk, phone home, move laterally: those meet a decision. Everything else just runs.

Containment, not restriction
  • Fast by default
    The safe majority of agent actions never sees friction.
  • Sharp at the edge
    Only genuinely risky actions meet a policy decision.
  • Tighten, never loosen
    Online checks can only add protection to your local policy.
  • Always attributed
    Every decision is audited to a user and a session.
Principles

The convictions we build on

Four commitments that shape every design decision — from where a check runs to how we choose to price.

On-device by default

Decisions are made on the endpoint, against your policy — so protection holds even offline. Online, CAGIS is defense-in-depth that can only tighten the org policy, never loosen it.

Privacy-preserving

A detected secret is swapped for a reversible vault token before it can reach the model, your logs, or the wire. Only {detector, count} metadata ever leaves the machine.

Fail closed

A crashed gate is never an open door. When the boundary can't be sure, it refuses — so an evasion or an outage can't quietly become an approval.

Outcome-aligned

We measure ourselves on leaks prevented, incidents caught, and spend saved — the value delivered — not seats sold. Price should track the risk removed.

The vision

A world where AI is trusted because it's governed

We want AI adoption to be a decision leaders make with confidence, not anxiety — because the controls are already in place, working quietly on every endpoint.
