AI agent governance for govtech.
In the public sector, who did what — and on whose authority — is the requirement, not a nice-to-have. HiveKey scopes what an agent can reach, enforces in the path, and keeps an attributable record of every action.
You're introducing agents into case handling, benefits, or constituent services — and accountability and records requirements apply from day one.
What an agent can reach here.
Citizen records
Sensitive personal data agents can read, update, or disclose.
Case systems
Decisions and status changes an agent can make on a case.
Accountability
A record that ties every action to an authority and a responsible person.
A verdict on every action, before it runs.
Each call an agent makes gets decided in the path — allowed, blocked, or held for a human — and written to one trail.
case_update → status change outside scope block Action outside the agent's authority — blocked in the path.
record_read (assigned case) allow Authorized for this case — allowed and logged.
benefit_disburse $3,200 approve Disbursement held for a caseworker to authorize.
One policy, applied to every agent.
Authority as scope
Grant each agent only the actions its role is authorized for. Anything beyond that authority is blocked, not just discouraged.
Records by default
Every action an agent takes is written to one immutable, attributable trail — the record public accountability expects.
Stop and revoke
An instant kill switch pulls an agent's access across every capability the moment something looks wrong.
The conversation we keep hearing.
Who authorized this action, and can we prove it?
We need a complete record of what the AI did on each case.
Access has to map to authority — not a shared key.
Evidence for the audits you already face.
HiveKey produces the access, enforcement, and audit evidence these frameworks expect for AI agents. Not legal advice — a head start on the controls.
Put every agent your govtech team runs under one policy.
