Finance

Finance & Payments

AI agents processing payments, managing accounts, and executing financial transactions need granular governance. GovernorAI enforces spending limits, approval thresholds, and tool access controls.

Payment threshold approvals (e.g., >$5,000 requires human)
Per-session and per-agent cost limits
Tool-level access controls (e.g., read-only for reporting agents)
Immutable audit trail for every financial action

id: finance-agent-policy
agent_id: "finance-agent-v1"
fail_closed: true

cost:
  max_usd_per_session: 25.00

rules:
  - id: high_value_payment
    match:
      tool: "erp.process_payment"
      condition:
        field: "args.amount"
        operator: ">"
        value: 5000
    action: require_approval

  - id: block_wire_transfers
    match:
      tool: "banking.wire_transfer"
    action: deny

Healthcare

Healthcare & Patient Data

AI agents accessing patient records, clinical systems, or health data need strict access governance. GovernorAI enforces data access policies and provides audit trails aligned with healthcare compliance requirements.

PHI access governance with tool-level controls
Immutable audit trail for HIPAA-aligned controls
Human-in-the-loop for sensitive operations
No raw patient data in governance logs

id: clinical-agent-policy
agent_id: "clinical-assistant-v1"
fail_closed: true

tools:
  allowed:
    - "ehr.read_patient_summary"
    - "ehr.read_lab_results"
  denied:
    - "ehr.modify_*"
    - "ehr.delete_*"

rules:
  - id: phi_export_approval
    match:
      tool: "ehr.export_records"
    action: require_approval

Customer Service

Customer Service Agents

AI agents handling customer interactions need guardrails on what systems they can access and what actions they can take. GovernorAI governs CRM operations, refund processing, and escalation workflows.

CRM action governance (read vs. write)
Refund limits with approval thresholds
Customer data protection
Automatic escalation to human agents

id: support-agent-policy
agent_id: "support-agent-v1"
fail_closed: true

tools:
  allowed:
    - "crm.read_*"
    - "crm.add_note"
    - "ticketing.update_status"
  denied:
    - "crm.delete_*"
    - "billing.modify_subscription"

rules:
  - id: refund_threshold
    match:
      tool: "billing.issue_refund"
      condition:
        field: "args.amount"
        operator: ">"
        value: 100
    action: require_approval

Infrastructure

Infrastructure Management

AI agents managing cloud infrastructure can cause catastrophic damage. GovernorAI blocks dangerous operations, enforces change management, and provides an audit trail for every infrastructure action.

Block destructive operations (delete, destroy, drop)
Require approval for production changes
Scope agents to specific namespaces/regions
Kill switch for runaway automation

id: infra-agent-policy
agent_id: "infra-agent-v1"
fail_closed: true

tools:
  allowed:
    - "cloud.list_*"
    - "cloud.describe_*"
    - "cloud.create_instance"
  denied:
    - "cloud.delete_*"
    - "cloud.terminate_*"
    - "shell.exec"

rules:
  - id: production_changes
    match:
      tool: "cloud.*"
      condition:
        field: "args.environment"
        operator: "=="
        value: "production"
    action: require_approval

HR & PII Handling

Govern AI agents that interact with Workday, employee records, and PII. Enforce GDPR-aligned data handling controls, restrict access by role, and log every access event.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Govern agent-to-agent delegation, fleet-level policy inheritance, and cross-agent session tracking. Ensure every agent in a chain is governed, not just the first one.

Sales & CRM Automation

AI agents updating Salesforce, HubSpot, or Zendesk need governance on what records they can modify, what deals they can close, and what communications they can send.

Data Pipeline Governance

AI agents orchestrating ETL, data transformations, and analytics queries. Enforce data access policies, prevent unauthorized exports, and audit every data operation.
