// use cases
AgentLattice's four primitives — Identity, Authorization, Audit, and Delegation — map to the compliance requirements of every regulated industry.
01
SOX requires demonstrable controls over financial data access. AgentLattice provides cryptographic proof: every agent that touches financial data has a verifiable identity, a policy gate that logged the authorization decision, and a hash-chained audit trail your auditor can verify independently.
Example
An AI agent accesses payroll data. Your auditor asks: who authorized this? AgentLattice produces the agent's ECDSA identity, the policy rule that allowed access, and the tamper-proof audit entry — all independently verifiable.
02
HIPAA requires access controls and audit trails for PHI. When AI agents process patient records, AgentLattice ensures each agent has a stable identity, operates under policy-as-code rules restricting data scope, and produces a tamper-proof trail proving what was accessed and why.
Example
A diagnostic agent delegates read-only access to a specialist sub-agent. Delegation is scope-narrowing only — the sub-agent cannot escalate privileges. Revocation cascades instantly to all downstream agents.
03
Deployment agents, PR merge bots, and autonomous CI runners operate at machine speed. AgentLattice brings the same IAM discipline to your CI/CD pipeline: every agent gets identity, every deploy goes through gate(), every action is audit-logged.
Example
A coding agent deploys to staging, then delegates limited scope to a review bot. The review bot can read PRs and post comments, but cannot merge or deploy. All actions are policy-gated and auditable.
04
AI agents reviewing contracts, drafting clauses, and managing legal workflows need the same governance primitives: identity, authorization, and audit. We're working with legal teams to define the right policy primitives for this domain.
