Kovac – the governed semantic operating system for data.
Put AI on your most sensitive data without losing control of it. Kovac sits between AI and enterprise data: object, action and deploy requests are policy-checked and recorded.
“Who accessed this data, under what policy, and why were they allowed to?”
Warehouses, pipelines and dashboards manage files, tables and jobs – they weren't built to answer that. Kovac is.
What Kovac is
A governed data and AI platform, built around the Kovac kernel: deterministic governance between AI and enterprise data. You model your organisation as an ontology, apply policy at the level of meaning, and every request – from a person or an AI agent – is compiled into a cryptographically signed, bounded execution plan before anything runs. Nothing touches enterprise data directly.
Two ways in: a Proof Pilot for the enterprise, or a Quick-Start for mid-sized businesses. Kovac for mid-sized businesses →
Five capabilities that make the difference
Signed execution
Every computation compiles to a signed plan, so what ran can be checked against what was authorised. Tamper-evidence across the whole plan is T8-12.
Clearance propagation
Clearances attach to data at the column level and are enforced on every read. Carrying them through pipeline transformations, rather than by file tag, is T8-11.
Decision traces
Every grant or denial is a queryable graph that shows why – an audit artifact, not a log line. Signing the trail at write, and recording allows as well as denials, are T8-07.
Time travel
Reconstruct the exact governed state of your data – ontology, policy and lineage – at any past moment.
Open by design
Built on open formats with pluggable compute. Your data and your compute stay portable.
What it's worth
- Deploy AI you can defend – to a regulator, an auditor or your board.
- Audit in minutes, not weeks.
- Shrink your exposure: sensitive data is never reachable outside policy.
- Replace manual controls with governance the system generates.
Where it's proven
Kovac is built for environments where AI can't be an ungoverned assistant: financial services, healthcare, defence, professional services, commercial real estate and other data-intensive organisations. We're now in alpha with a commercial real-estate design partner for governed write-back, semantic search and auditable data operations.
