Core offering

Akretic provides an enterprise authorization and evidence platform for AI agents that controls what agents can read, call, write, and send. The platform combines the Gate0 policy decision engine, retrieval boundary controls, approval checkpoints, and tamper-evident audit artifacts (Iron Ledger) to constrain agent behavior outside the model layer. It is currently preparing limited Q3 2026 design-partner engagements for security, AI platform, and infrastructure teams.

Product overview

Akretic offers a unified enterprise authorization and evidence platform for AI agents, consisting of core components: the main Akretic Platform that enforces policy-based controls on AI agent actions; Observation Mode for non-blocking policy evaluation before enforcement; Gate0 as the policy decision engine; and the Iron Ledger Evidence Trail for tamper-evident audit artifacts. The platform is designed for customer-controlled deployment profiles targeting security, AI platform, and infrastructure teams preparing internal assistant workflows for production. The A2A Trust Gateway prototype extends the platform to policy-mediated agent-to-agent collaboration. The company is currently preparing for Q3 2026 design-partner engagements, not a broad commercial launch.

Products and services

• Akretic Platform Enterprise authorization and evidence platform for AI agents that controls what agents can read, call, write, and send through authenticated identity context, policy decisions (Gate0), retrieval boundaries, approval checkpoints, and tamper-evident evidence events. Target users are enterprise security, AI platform, and infrastructure teams.
• Observation Mode Non-blocking policy evaluation mode that records what the AI assistant tried to read, call, write, or send; replays policy decisions; identifies approval points; and produces findings for developing a narrow enforcement plan without mutating production behavior.
• Gate0 Policy decision engine that evaluates reads, tool calls, egress requests, and side effects for AI agents. Gate0 processes authenticated identity context and applies policy rules to gate agent actions.
• Iron Ledger Evidence Trail Tamper-evident audit artifact system that generates evidence for material policy decisions, supporting security and platform team review before production expansion.
• A2A Trust Gateway Prototype demonstrating policy-mediated agent collaboration using synthetic data. Shows architecture for trust verification between AI agents communicating via the Agent-to-Agent protocol.
• Akretic Briefings AI-narrated audio briefings providing concise overviews of Akretic's control-plane determinism approach, covering identity, authorization, retrieval boundaries, approvals, and evidence for enterprise AI agents.

Direct peers

• Robust Intelligence: Robust Intelligence (now part of Cisco) provides an AI firewall and runtime protection platform for AI applications, including model validation and policy enforcement. It directly competes with Akretic's policy decision and evidence capture features for enterprise AI agent governance.
• HiddenLayer: HiddenLayer provides AI security solutions for protecting models and AI-enabled applications against adversarial attacks and unauthorized use. It competes in the same enterprise AI security and governance category as Akretic, particularly around model and agent protection.
• Lakera: Lakera provides enterprise AI security and guardrails for LLM applications, including prompt injection defense, content moderation, and policy enforcement. It directly competes with Akretic's Gate0 control plane and Observation Mode for AI agent authorization in enterprise deployments.
• Protect AI: Protect AI offers an AI/ML security platform covering model scanning, supply chain security, and runtime guardrails. Its runtime policy enforcement and audit capabilities overlap with Akretic's evidence trail and approval checkpoint features for AI agent governance.
• Arthur AI: Arthur AI provides AI observability, evaluation, and guardrail monitoring for production AI systems. Its monitoring and policy enforcement capabilities overlap with Akretic's policy decision engine and observation-before-enforcement approach.
• Credal AI: Credal AI offers an AI governance and data security platform with controls for AI assistants, including retrieval filtering, egress controls, and audit logging. It directly parallels Akretic's Retrieval Boundary Control and Evidence Event System for enterprise copilots.

Emerging players

• WhyLabs: WhyLabs offers an AI observability platform for monitoring LLM and ML applications, with guardrails and evaluation capabilities. Its monitoring and policy tooling overlaps with Akretic's Observation Mode and evidence generation for production AI systems.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Web Services (Bedrock Guardrails): AWS Bedrock Guardrails provides content filtering and policy enforcement for foundation model applications within the AWS ecosystem. As a hyperscaler incumbent, it competes with Akretic's Gate0 control plane but is limited to AWS-native deployments.
• Microsoft (Purview AI Hub): Microsoft Purview AI Hub provides data security, compliance, and governance controls for AI applications across the Microsoft ecosystem. As a broad incumbent, it competes with Akretic's enterprise AI governance and evidence capabilities, especially for Microsoft 365 and Azure customers.
• NVIDIA (NeMo Guardrails): NVIDIA offers NeMo Guardrails as part of its broader AI platform stack, providing programmable guardrails for LLM-based applications. As an incumbent with deep enterprise reach, NeMo Guardrails competes broadly with Akretic's policy enforcement approach but is bundled within NVIDIA's wider AI infrastructure offering.
