Designed for high-assurance systems to reduce operational risk with hardware-backed protection and controlled runtime decisions.
What this means for your program
- Reduce failure and compliance risk by enforcing runtime safety before actions execute.
- Keep mission teams aligned with policy through deterministic, auditable decisions.
- Replace manual exception handling with a trusted runtime guardrail that is easy to verify.
What Atlas Is
Atlas is an advanced runtime governance framework that validates action intent, enforces written policy, and stops risky commands before they execute. Every decision is captured in a tamper-resistant audit trail to prove compliance and investigate incidents with confidence.
How Atlas Reduces Risk
- Prevents unauthorized actions by enforcing policy before execution
- Eliminates drift with deterministic decisions and immutable policy anchors
- Provides full auditability for compliance, incident response, and review
Technical Architecture
Atlas operates as a TPM-bound architecture that verifies runtime actions, generates attestation evidence, and enforces policy before execution.
- Hardware binding to TPM 2.0 for immutable trust anchors
- Immutable audit trails for every transaction
- Fail-closed enforcement for unauthorized actions
How Atlas Works
- Loads a policy manifest from
policy.json - Receives an action and justification
- Validates semantic anchors, rationale threshold, and required classes
- Returns a deterministic decision
Decision Outcomes
Authorized
The action is approved and may proceed safely under enforced policy.
FailClosed
The action is rejected without execution, preserving safety and halting risk propagation.
HardwareKillState
The action is blocked at the highest severity and the runtime is isolated to prevent further damage.
Key Features
- Deterministic policy enforcement
- Attestation hash generation
- HTTP/CLI runtime modes
- Optional governance sync capabilities
Integration
Atlas is architected as a modular runtime service. It exposes a foundational HTTP endpoint interface:
POST /ingestClients submit telemetry-style packets and receive a policy decision in return.
Research & Development Engagement
We are currently advancing foundational proof-of-concept evaluations and architecture definition for aerospace and defense programs. Our focus is on maturing autonomous system safety and deterministic runtime control.
Atlas turns policy into runtime safety, stopping unsafe actions, enforcing audit-first controls, and reducing program risk while preserving operator agility.
