Traceability
Every autonomous action can be reconstructed end-to-end. Trigger → execution → outcome, all logged, all auditable.
When velocity exceeds control, the system is not fast. It is exposed.
Operator-level governance doctrine · enforced at runtime in every Aleeth-certified system
“ICA is not a collection of best practices. It is a strict architectural doctrine. These are the laws that govern systems operating under extreme pressure.”
Every autonomous action can be reconstructed end-to-end. Trigger → execution → outcome, all logged, all auditable.
No agent exceeds its explicit operational boundary. Capability is bounded by design — if no control surface exists, the capability does not deploy.
Every autonomous action has a defined and tested reversal mechanism. If the rollback path is unnamed, the action is not permitted.
How ICA relates to NIST, ISO, EU AI Act, SOC 2, and existing governance products
Every other framework tells you what governed AI should look like. Every other product monitors whether you're getting close.
ICA is the system that defines the standard, certifies you against it, ships a runtime SDK · ica-guard · in private alpha to enforce it, and produces the audit evidence as a byproduct of normal operation.
ICA is the control layer that makes all of them true at once.
| Framework | What it is | What it gives you | How ICA closes the gap | Coverage |

Organizations holding active ICA certification · internal command center only
Every cert sorted by verification depth · same 0–100 score the public /trust/:cert_num page renders
| Cert ID | Organization | Status | Depth | Tier | ATT | TEL | PROV | DISC | CRIT | Share |

Guided 7-layer institutional governance assessment
Every ICA certification runs this exact process. The Sustain stage is the differentiator — continuous compliance vs. the static annual snapshots SOC 2 and ISO 42001 produce.

9-domain individual agent certification evaluation
14 agents × 9 governance domains · cell color = current score · click any cell to drill into evidence.

IAC-certified agents housed, deployed, and governed by ICA™
Per-customer rollups of AI workforce leverage, spend, and waste detection. Metadata-only telemetry · no prompts, no responses, no source code · enforced at the schema layer.
Usage is cheap signal. Leverage is the command layer.
| Customer | Operators | Events (30D) | Spend (30D) | Top Leverage | Open Recs | Status |

Live governance monitoring · post-certification compliance · incident management
Eight-lane operating posture · inventory, lineage, quality, security, access, oversight, compliance, audit
Live proof that ICA can assign, mark fixed, verify, settle receipts, and return to monitor-only without Command Center dependency.
The kill switch. Halt any agent in real time; its steps are quarantined at ingest (forensic record only, no governed evidence, no receipts) until an operator releases it. Every halt and release is Ed25519-signed onto the chain.
Every MCP server enrolled by every customer · current tool inventory · open findings (drift + poison + risky-schema-keys). Findings table is append-only via DB trigger · core fields immutable. Universal ICA feature · no tier.
Every tool call in the agentic AI stack · inventoried · diffed · governed.
| Customer | Servers | Tools | At Risk | Open | Critical | Status |

Every Pinecone · Weaviate · Qdrant · Chroma · Milvus store enrolled · collection sensitivity classification · open PII/PHI/PCI/secret findings. Access events append-only via DB trigger · vector values + document text + query text blocked at the schema layer. Universal ICA feature · no tier.
Every embedding in the RAG stack · classified · governed · proof-sealed.
| Customer | Stores | Collections | Restricted+ | Open | Critical | Status |

Every probe surface registered · direct + indirect injection · jailbreak · exfil · data-leak detections. Detections append-only via DB trigger · prompt text, model responses, and source code blocked at the schema layer. Universal ICA feature · no tier.
Every input lane in the AI stack · scanned · classified · redacted by design.

Imperium view of the live Compass IAC evidence chain: customer review register, agent receipts, score posture, public issuance lock, and Security Closure DAG controller state.
Read-only. ICA Live + ICA Imperium only. Public cert issuance remains locked unless Shane explicitly approves the issue payload.
Every certified ICA Live deployment streams compliance, evidence, and incident telemetry up to ICA Imperium in real time. One row per customer instance · seven-layer health · last heartbeat · alert count.
DAG-driven ICA automation history, gate posture, dry-run receipts, and guarded operator execution. ICA Live acts; ICA Imperium records and supervises.
Conformity DAG and Security Closure Auto-Wave run from existing ICA-only paths with receipts stored in operator events.
