About

The governed runtime for enterprise AI.

Tovel helps regulated enterprises adopt AI agents with the identity, oversight and evidence their boards and regulators expect.

Why we exist

Enterprises are deploying agents faster than they can govern them.

Boards approve pilots. Teams ship code-executing, externally connected agents. The oversight a regulator will ask for, the identity, the guardrails, the evidence, lags behind. That gap is operational risk.

Tovel closes it. We take the operational reality of production agents seriously, and we hold ourselves to the discipline we sell: claim only what we can evidence, and keep a human in the loop where it matters.

Reference implementation

We run our own agents inside Tovel enclaves: the same harness, identity and evidence we ship. A documented walkthrough of this implementation is available in the demo and is the proof you can inspect today.

ASD harness guidance mapped

The harness is described in the terms of ASD’s agentic AI harness guidance: the layer connecting models, tools, context, state and controls, with organisational accountability. A dated control-by-control mapping to ASD's harness guidance is in preparation. Mapping is not certification or endorsement.

Thirty minutes. Then a scoped evaluation.

In a 30-minute walkthrough we demonstrate a governed workflow, explain its controls and evidence, and scope an evaluation on your AWS estate. Provisioning and live assessment follow once access and prerequisites are agreed.

  • One governed workflow, run end to end
  • The framework packs that matter to your regulator
  • What an evaluation on your estate would need

After the call you receive the responsibility map, a sample receipt and a written evaluation scope.
