Governance & Cognitive Security
ShiftGuard™: The Cognitive Firewall
of the Agentic Enterprise
The future of AI is not autonomous.
It is governed.
Entrusting critical processes to probabilistic AI is a major risk. ShiftGuard is the infrastructure layer that transforms this risk into a controlled, explainable, and compliant system.
- Security
- Compliance
- Explainability
- Governance
The Structural Problem
The Missing Link
"Forgotten in Enterprise AI"
Why do 80% of AI projects remain at the POC stage?
Because models generate:
- hallucinations
- approximations
- tone drift
- unsourced responses
- potential data exposure
- unexpected behaviors
The Structural Fracture
LLMs are not designed to respect rules.
The enterprise depends on them.
ShiftGuard resolves this structural fracture.
You keep the power of the model… But you impose your own rules.
Cognitive Architecture
The Architecture of ShiftGuard:
The 4 Cognitive Engines
ShiftGuard works as a Cognitive Proxy :
it intercepts, analyzes, filters and traces every agent decision.
No query escapes ShiftGuard. None.
1
Compliance Engine
Detection, anonymization and data sovereignty
Before the model reads the message
- PII/PHI detection (names, IBAN, salaries, health data)
- Dynamic anonymization ([CLIENT_NAME], [AMOUNT])
- Partial or total redaction depending on risk
- GDPR verification
- Geofencing of sensitive flows
Objectif : Zero data leak.
2
Semantic Firewall
The Guardian of coherence
During reasoning
- Obligation to cite RAG sources
- Prohibition of invention (Zero Interpretation / Zero Hallucination)
- Verification of internal business rules
- Tone and style filtering (Brand Safety)
- Immediate blocking in case of deviation
Objectif : Zero improvisation.
3
HITL Orchestrator
Intelligent Human Control
ShiftGuard classifies each action according to deterministic severity
- 🟢 Minor → the agent executes.
- 🟠 Major → the agent requests validation: "Do you want me to proceed?"
- 🔴 Critical → action blocked + mandatory human intervention (HITL).
- Critical examples: payments, contractual modifications, external communications, sensitive IT interventions
Objectif : The human always has the last word.
4
Audit Log (Flight Recorder)
The cognitive black box
ShiftGuard records
- Input
- Output
- RAG Context
- Applied rules
- Risk score
- Action (authorized / blocked / escalated)
- Explicit justification
Objectif : Total traceability for audits, CAC, AI Act.
Total Personalization
Personalization:
Your Governance, Your Rules
ShiftGuard adapts to all company sizes
From SME to mid-cap to regulated large accounts.
Your governance is unique.
ShiftGuard executes it deterministically.
It's the difference between:
- generic AI
- AI aligned with your company

Concrete Use Cases
Risks
neutralized
Concrete examples by business domain
Finance
Risk:
validation of a fraudulent transfer
→ ShiftGuard Solution:
ShiftGuard imposes HITL for any amount > threshold.
HR
Risk:
leak of salaries or internal documents
→ ShiftGuard Solution:
Automatic anonymization of sensitive data.
Legal
Risk:
invention of a clause
→ ShiftGuard Solution:
Zero Interpretation: the answer must come from internal documents.
Support / IT
Risk:
toxic, erroneous or dangerous action
→ ShiftGuard Solution:
Firewall + behavioral analysis + automatic blocking.
Management & COMEX
Risk:
AI decisions impossible to explain
→ ShiftGuard Solution:
Flight Recorder: complete justification.
European Compliance
Compliance
AI Act & GDPR
ShiftGuard natively meets European obligations
Compliance by Design
With ShiftGuard, compliance is not a cost.
It's an automatism.
- Article 10Data governance
- ShiftGuard ensures complete traceability and governance of data used by AI systems.
- Article 11Technical documentation
- All decisions and processes are automatically documented via the Flight Recorder.
- Article 12Logging and auditability
- Each action is traced with input, output, context, applied rules and justification.
- Article 13Transparency
- Obligation of cited sources, zero hallucination, complete explainability of decisions.
- Article 14Mandatory human control
- HITL Orchestrator guarantees that humans always have the last word on critical actions.
Differentiation
Why ShiftGuard
is unique
Competing solutions
Superficial and non-deterministic approaches
- add a rule in a prompt
- depend on the model
- guarantee no explainability
- don't actually block risky actions
- don't respect internal business rules
- don't offer complete logs
ShiftGuard
Deterministic cognitive governance and production-ready
- deterministic engine
- real semantic firewall
- imperative rules (policy_rules)
- multi-step validation
- aviation traceability
- LLM agnostic
- production-ready
We don't make AI "be careful"
We force it to respect your rules.
Take Action
Transform your AI into a
secure, controlled and compliant asset
Don't let compliance slow down your innovation - industrialize it.
ShiftGuard is available: as European SaaS, Private Cloud or On-Premise. Compatible with all LLMs (GPT, Claude, Mistral, Llama). 4-week deployment. Support and training included.
