Governance is not a feature — it is an architecture. ARKA AI enforces policy at runtime, seals every decision with cryptographic proof, and deploys within your sovereign perimeter.
"I need independent proof that every AI decision stayed within authorized scope. Not vendor logs — cryptographic evidence I control."
"I need a security architecture that enforces policy at runtime — not a compliance layer bolted on after the fact."
"I need audit-ready evidence for SOC 2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP — generated automatically from execution, not assembled manually."
ARKA AI enforces a strict protocol between human authority and machine execution. The machine does the work; the human sets the law.
Critical decisions always route to authorized humans. AI cannot exceed its "Signing Authority" or risk threshold without explicit approval.
All actions are checked against your internal policies and external regulations before execution — enforced via policy-as-code gates. Deny by default.
AI is only permitted to act on authorized data sources from your systems of record. This eliminates hallucination and data provenance risk at the source.
Every control listed here is implemented in the production codebase — not aspirational.
JWT-based authentication supporting OIDC (RS256 via JWKS) and local (HS256). Keycloak integration for enterprise SSO. Strict signature verification on every request.
Every API request resolves account_id from cryptographically signed JWT claims. Data, missions, and evidence are strictly scoped — no cross-account access.
Fine-grained role enforcement at the API layer. Every endpoint validates user roles before execution. Admin, operator, and viewer scopes enforced at runtime.
Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options (DENY), XSS Protection, and strict Referrer-Policy enforced on every response via middleware.
Enterprise-grade key management with hardware-backed signing. Cryptographic canonical hashing for Evidence Bundle integrity. Deterministic serialization ensures hash stability.
Emergency stop capabilities at Mission, Blueprint, and Account levels. Instant halt of any execution chain with full audit trail of the kill-switch activation.
ARKA AI is architecturally aligned with major compliance frameworks. Evidence is generated automatically from execution — not assembled retroactively.
Evidence Bundles map to SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria. Every control activity produces tamper-evident proof artifacts for audit workflows.
OSCAL-aligned adapter exports Proof Packs to machinable evidence formats for federal workflows (authorization/certification status is environment-dependent).
fedramp_adapter.py)Policy-bound execution prevents unauthorized PHI access. Evidence Bundles document every data interaction for audit.
Sovereign deployment ensures data residency. Governed execution provides the transparency and explainability required by EU AI Act Article 13.
ARKA AI provides architecturally aligned evidence but does not itself certify regulatory compliance; customers and auditors retain final attestation authority.
In high-stakes industries, "trust me" is not a strategy. ARKA AI records every signal, decision, and action into a cryptographic ledger.
Every ARKA execution produces a deterministic chain of evidence. Each step maps a business claim to a verifiable artifact.
Every action checked against your rules before execution
Human or automated authority delegation captured
Action, rationale, and data provenance recorded
Asymmetric digital signature + canonical hash
Exportable to SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, GDPR formats
Every artifact is independently verifiable. The auditor does not need to trust ARKA — they verify the hash chain directly.
An ARKA AI execution follows a deterministic audit path designed for independent verification:
If outcome targets are not feasible under observed system and human constraints, ARKA AI refuses execution — fail-closed by design.
If a vendor's agent makes a decision, that vendor's log should not be the only proof it happened correctly. Governance requires structural independence from the systems being governed.
The AI vendor tells you what their system did. You trust their logs, their dashboards, their version of events. No independent verification exists.
The AI system generates its own compliance evidence. The same system that executed the decision also certifies it was compliant. No separation of concerns.
ARKA AI sits between intent and action as the independent evidence authority. It governs any agent, any model, any workflow — and produces proof the vendor cannot alter.
ARKA is the independent third-party evidence authority — the auditor, not the auditee. This is not a feature. It is an architectural requirement.
You should never be dependent on your AI vendor for compliance. ARKA AI is designed to be owned and operated by you, in your environment, with your keys.
Your proprietary data never leaves your governed perimeter. No training on customer data.
You control encryption, signing keys, and access policies — locally or via your enterprise key vault.
Evidence Ledgers are stored on your servers, not our cloud. Tamper-evident and independently verifiable.
Deploy in your VPC (AWS/GCP/Azure), on-premises, or air-gapped. You control the perimeter.
