Deep-tech startup TRUSTNOW has unveiled TRUSTNOW.EKAM, a sovereign AI governance platform designed to provide enterprises with visibility and control over autonomous AI agents operating within enterprise environments.
According to the company, the platform is built on its patent-backed ONE TRUST FABRIC architecture and is designed to work with existing enterprise security infrastructure, including identity platforms, policy engines, security information and event management (SIEM) and observability tools.
TRUSTNOW.EKAM is designed to support the governance of AI agents that can access enterprise systems and execute actions with limited human intervention. Its capabilities include identifying authorised and potentially unmanaged AI agents, assigning agents cryptographic identities and least-privilege access, and applying policies to allow, escalate or block sensitive actions in real time.
The platform also includes a kill-switch capability and maintains an auditable record of agent activity, authorisation and actions, the company said.
EKAM supports self-hosted, air-gapped and hybrid deployments and is designed to be model-agnostic.
Alongside the platform, TRUSTNOW has introduced its Enterprise TRUST Model, which includes an Enterprise Trust Score, Trust Health Index, Volatility Index and Trust Maturity Model for assessing an organisation’s autonomous AI governance posture.
“When AI moves from answering to acting, governance has to be real-time and can no longer be an afterthought,” said Raguram Gopalan, Founder and CEO of TRUSTNOW. “Enterprises need to know which agents are running, what authority they have, and what they did. EKAM is built to provide that visibility and control.”
