01 · The Problem

Every enterprise has lost track of who is acting on their behalf.

Non-human identities — service accounts, API keys, agentic workloads — now drive the majority of cloud-native activity. AI agents make decisions, call tools, and move data with no governance layer between them and the systems they touch.

Of cyberattacks in 2024 were malware-free — identity is the primary vector.
CrowdStrike Global Threat Report, 2024

Existing identity tools were built for people. Existing AI guards were built for models. Nobody owns the intersection.

02 · The Platform

One platform. Two capabilities. Six agents.

ModelCop is the integration. Built on the principle that every prompt has an identity, and every identity has a chain of accountability — from request to model to data to the human who owns it.

01 · Runtime AI Governance

Every prompt, governed at the wire.

Drop-in via base-URL configuration. Hard enforcement at the wire, not advisory — every decision logged.

  • 14 LLM providers governed inline — Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Vertex, Mistral, Cohere, NVIDIA NIM, Ollama, and more
  • 8-class data classifier: PII, PHI, PCI, ITAR, CUI, secret, internal, public
  • Hard block, redact, warn, or log — with an HTTP error and a forensic record on every decision
  • Policy engine surfaces explainable decisions to investigators, auditors, and the LLM caller itself
02 · NHI Identity Security

Every identity, with a chain of accountability.

Every prompt grounded in the identity that requested it. Every identity grounded in a human owner. End-to-end forensic trail.

  • 55+ NHI source connectors discover and manage identities across Okta, Entra, GitHub, Vault, AWS, GCP, Azure, and more
  • Source-system enforcement (enterprise): rotate, disable, or revoke against the source — not just alert
  • Behavioral baselines, just-in-time access, ephemeral broker tokens for AI agents
  • Single-query forensic chain: prompt → NHI → human owner, in three clicks
Powered by six capability agents: Cadence · Tether · Compass · Sentry · Forge · ModelCop
03 · Capabilities

From correlated signal to enforced action — and the evidence in between.

Five capabilities that turn the identity graph into something a CISO can act on, a CFO can price, and an auditor can read. Each grounded in live data, not slideware.

001 · INLINE ENFORCEMENT

Block the prompt before it reaches the model.

Point an agent's provider base URL at ModelCop. Every request is classified and checked against your policy before it's forwarded — a policy-violating prompt is blocked, the agent receives a native API error, and a forensic record is written. OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible today.

Governs traffic routed through ModelCop · transparent network enforcement available per environment

002 · ATTACK PATH & BLAST RADIUS

Trace an event to the identity — and the human who owns it.

Every AI security event traces back to the non-human identity that executed it and the accountable human chain behind it: owner → manager → department. Kill-chain, force-graph, and blast-radius views make the attribution legible in seconds.

Event → NHI → human owner · forensic detail on every node

003 · CROWN JEWELS

Identify the assets that actually matter — for your team to confirm.

ModelCop flags likely-critical assets from the sensitive data interacting with them, then traces which non-human identities can reach each one. A preliminary identification for your SMEs to validate — not an autonomous determination — so the human judgment stays where it belongs.

Correlation-driven · SME-validated · priced against the value you set

004 · RISK IN DOLLARS

Rank exposure by what it would cost — not by a severity label.

Every NHI and data class is priced to a dollar-denominated risk figure. Instead of a wall of "high / medium / low," your board sees exposure ranked by what a breach of each identity would actually cost — the language risk committees and CFOs already speak.

Per-identity · per-data-class · board-ready

005 · ATTESTATION CENTER

Every control assertion, backed by live evidence you can show.

Attestation status across your controls, each row linked to the source data that proves it — not a spreadsheet someone updated last quarter. Walk an auditor through exactly how a control is satisfied, where the gaps still are, and export the whole thing as audit-grade evidence packs mapped to the frameworks that matter.

Live evidence · control-to-source linkage · regulator-mapped export

006 · PAYS FOR ITSELF

Five live savings engines — not an estimate, the actual number.

ModelCop computes your savings from live data, not a spreadsheet: dormant agent retirement (access you're paying for but not using), LLM model-downgrade recommendations (same output, lower-cost tier), denied-prompt waste recovery (blocked calls that consumed tokens anyway), over-permissioned agent rightsizing (privilege overhead flagged per identity), and cyber-insurance premium reduction from eliminated orphan exposure. Each figure updates as you act on it — so the "ModelCop cost recovered" counter ticks up in real time.

5 saving mechanisms · live audit-event data · per-provider economy tiers · insurance premium impact · no competitor does all five

Correlate the signal. Enforce the policy. Prove every decision — and pay for the platform with what it recovers.

03.5 · How You Connect

Four ways to integrate. One enforcement gate. Zero code required for the first.

Most AI governance tools require you to rebuild your stack around them. ModelCop meets you where your agents already run — a base-URL swap is enough to put every prompt behind a hard enforcement gate. More control is available as you need it.

METHOD 01 · ENFORCEMENT PROXY INLINE

Drop-in base URL. Zero code change.

Redirect your existing OpenAI or Anthropic SDK to ModelCop's proxy endpoint. Every prompt is classified and gated before it reaches the provider. A blocked call returns a native API error — your agent code doesn't change.

OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://console.modelcop.ai/proxy/openai/v1 ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://console.modelcop.ai/proxy/anthropic
INLINE ENFORCEMENT
Block before provider is reached
DATA-CLASS GATE
PHI / PCI / ITAR / CUI blocked per policy
CODE CHANGE
None — one environment variable
LIMITATION
Only governs traffic routed through the proxy — pair with egress control to catch shadow calls
METHOD 02 · NATIVE API INLINE

Call ModelCop directly. Swap providers without touching app code.

Apps call /api/llm/complete with ModelCop's schema. ModelCop selects the tenant's active backend provider and forwards — meaning you can move from OpenAI to Bedrock to Azure OpenAI by changing one setting in the console, not by redeploying your agents.

INLINE ENFORCEMENT
Full gate — same as proxy method
PROVIDER PORTABILITY
Swap providers without app redeploy
CODE CHANGE
Requires adopting ModelCop's request schema
LIMITATION
Response is ModelCop's normalized format — not raw OpenAI/Anthropic wire; SDK parsers need adaptation
METHOD 03 · LLM CONNECTOR INLINE

ModelCop holds your provider keys. Your agents never see them.

Save provider credentials in ModelCop once. ModelCop brokers every outbound call — your agents carry ModelCop tokens, not provider API keys. Rotate, revoke, or switch providers from the console. Governance policy is applied automatically the moment a connector is configured.

CREDENTIAL BROKERING
App never holds provider key
POLICY ON BY DEFAULT
Governance row created at connector setup — status: pending until admin sanctions
KEY ROTATION
Console-only — no agent redeploy
LIMITATION
Requires method 01 or 02 for enforcement — the connector is the credential store, not an enforcement surface on its own
METHOD 04 · PASSIVE MONITORING OBSERVE

Log shipping and SOC integration. No traffic redirection required.

Ship provider logs, SIEM events, or webhook payloads into ModelCop for historical analysis, anomaly detection, shadow AI discovery, and compliance evidence generation. No inline gate — but full forensic capability: denial forensics, counterfactual replay, prompt lineage, and fleet incident tracking all operate on ingested data.

INLINE ENFORCEMENT
None — violations detected after the call
DEPLOYMENT CHANGE
None — log shipping only
FORENSICS & EVIDENCE
Full — lineage, replay, anomaly, compliance
LIMITATION
Cannot block, redact, or cap spend in real time — best paired with method 01 or 02 for enforcement coverage

Enforcement is on by default. Every connector configured is a governance policy created — status: pending until you sanction it. No traffic reaches a provider without a policy decision on record.

04 · Why Now

Two markets collided in 2025–26 — and the incumbents got bought.

The window for an integrated AI governance + NHI platform is open for roughly twelve months before a non-acquired vendor builds the bridge. Mid-market and enterprise buyers want a focused vendor, not a Cisco / Palo Alto / Check Point bundled feature.

Q3 2024
EU AI Act passes. The NHI category emerges from secrets management.
Sept 2025
Check Point acquires Lakera. Best-in-class AI runtime guard becomes a bundled feature.
March 2026
Cisco announces $400M acquisition of Astrix. The NHI category leader absorbed.
March 2026
Oasis Security raises $120M Series B for agentic access management. Category validation.
Today
Both capabilities are now compliance surface for NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, NYDFS 500, DORA, HIPAA, and CMMC.

The next platform is the integration. We've spent twelve months building it.

04.5 · Compare

One platform. Two problems solved.

Every other vendor addresses NHI security or runtime AI governance — not both. ModelCop ships both on one identity graph, with one policy engine and a single audit trail.

What ModelCop intentionally does not cover: Certificate lifecycle management (CLM), code signing, and SSH certificate authorities are out of scope by design — we recommend Venafi or HashiCorp Vault PKI for that layer. Pre-deployment model evaluation and adversarial red-teaming are also outside our scope; we complement tools like Robust Intelligence and HiddenLayer, not replace them.
