Control Layer · Runtime Enforcement

The Runtime Control Layer

Xybern sits in the execution path of enterprise AI systems, enforcing rules before outputs reach users, tools, or workflows. Runtime policy enforcement, authority boundaries, behavioural control, and jurisdiction-aware enforcement, all applied at the execution boundary.

Governance Control Layer Interface

How the Runtime Control Layer Works

From rule definition to runtime enforcement, every step operates at the execution boundary.

1. Define

Configure enforcement rules via the API or SDK. Choose from pre-built regulatory templates or create custom rules with JSON conditions, thresholds, and actions.

  • Pre-built rule templates
  • Custom JSON conditions
  • API & SDK configuration

2. Enforce

Every reasoning output from the Xybern Engine is automatically validated against your defined policy set before being finalized.

  • Pre-output gate
  • Real-time blocking
  • Override audit trail

3. Report

Get a complete view of policy compliance across all workspaces. Export audit ready reports for regulators and internal governance.

  • Heatmap dashboards
  • Exception summaries
  • Scheduled exports
Enforcement API

Rules via API.
Enforced at Runtime.

Define enforcement rules programmatically using the /api/governance endpoints. Every verification request is evaluated against your active rules at the execution boundary.

01

Enable a Template

Choose from pre-built templates, minimum trust score, PII detection, bias monitoring, jurisdiction checks, and activate them per workspace.

02

Create Custom Rules

Define conditions on trust score, claim count, content patterns, or source model. Set actions to flag, block, or alert via email.

03

Automatic Enforcement

Every POST /api/v1/verify call evaluates all active rules. Violations are recorded, notifications sent, and outputs blocked if configured.

}

Built Into Every Verification

Governance isn't a separate step. Every /api/v1/verify call automatically evaluates your rules, checks regulatory compliance, and records violations to the vault.

Rule Templates

Pre-built templates for trust thresholds, PII detection, bias monitoring, and regulatory compliance.

Email Alerts

Automatic violation notifications sent to compliance teams when rules are triggered.

Vault Recording

Every governance evaluation is permanently recorded in the Provenance Vault with full audit trail.

Scoped API Keys

Workspace scoped API keys with role-based access control and full usage logging.
