The AI Asset Graph: Guard0
One agent.
A customer support bot built on LangChain. Governing it takes 8 layers: identity, access control, data siloing, oversight, observability, context management, hierarchy, and interoperability.
Manageable for one.
Now imagine thousands.
50,000 developers at a Fortune 500 bank build agents on LangGraph and open source, bypassing the centralized platform. An HR agent trains on all employee data with no access controls.
We find 2 to 3x more AI assets than security teams know about.
The invisible ones.
43% of agents are unknown to security teams. Shadow AI services proliferate. Test agents stay in production. Third-party tools embed agents nobody approved.
43% invisible. Zero oversight.
Authority is becoming untraceable.
Agents now act for people, then for other agents. Authority becomes transitive: a request three hops deep, with no way back to the human who authorized it. Every other tool stops at the first hop. We resolve the whole chain to a named human of record.
Back to a human of record.
Not what it could reach. What it actually touched.
The AI Asset Graph records realized access: the specific systems and records each agent actually touched, the delegation chain behind every action, and the human at the end of it. Permissions are a guess. This is the record.
The record, not a guess.
Accountability, end to end.
Discovery finds what exists. Governance maps what it can reach. Enforcement stops what shouldn’t happen. When every agent is visible and every action is auditable, trust isn’t something you declare.
It’s something you prove.
When every agent is visible, every action is auditable, and every drift triggers a response, trust isn't something you declare. It's something you prove.
Compliance maps itself. Governance becomes automatic. And trust? Trust is what happens when accountability actually works.
The independent layer
Microsoft governs Microsoft agents. Your cloud vendor governs cloud agents. Your identity provider issues the logins. The auditor cannot be the platform being audited. Guard0 is the independent accountability layer over every platform and every identity provider.
Your agents are already in production.
Put a record behind them.
Agentless. Read-only by default. SaaS, Private SaaS, or On-Prem.
