ASCEND governs what AI agents and MCP servers actually do at the action layer - real-time risk scoring (CVSS v3.1, NIST 800-30, MITRE ATT&CK), human-in-the-loop approvals, sub-500ms kill-switch enforcement, and immutable audit trails. Purpose-built for financial services, healthcare, and government.

Enterprise Agent Activity Center
ASCEND is the control plane for agentic AI systems in regulated industries. As enterprises deploy AI agents at scale, existing governance tools fall short - they monitor what agents say, not what agents do. ASCEND governs at the action execution layer, intercepting every agent action before it executes and applying real-time risk assessment, policy enforcement, and compliance logging.
Key capabilities:
- Real-Time Action Enforcement - Every agent action is scored using a composite model: CVSS v3.1 (40%), NIST 800-30 (30%), MITRE ATT&CK (20%), and contextual factors (10%). Low-risk actions are auto-approved in milliseconds. Medium-risk actions route to human approvers. High-risk actions are blocked.
- MCP Server Governance - The only platform governing Model Context Protocol servers at the action layer. Register, monitor, and enforce policies on every MCP tool call across your agent fleet.
- Sub-500ms Kill-Switch - Block any agent or MCP server in real time via SNS/SQS. From trigger to agent stop in under 500 milliseconds.
- Human-in-the-Loop Approvals - Configurable approval workflows with Slack, webhook, email, and SMS notifications. Approvers see full risk context, MITRE technique mappings, and NIST controls before deciding.
- Immutable Audit Trails - Every action, decision, and approval is logged with hash-chained integrity. Exportable for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FedRAMP audit evidence.
- Shadow AI Discovery - Detect unregistered agents operating in your environment. Behavioral fingerprinting identifies shadow AI and routes it through governance automatically.
ASCEND integrates via Python SDK (PyPI), Node.js SDK (npm), boto3 wrapper, LangChain integration, Kong plugin, and Envoy/Istio Helm chart. Start governing your first agent in under 10 minutes.
