Polygraf AI: the factory infographic
A behavioural control plane that watches and enforces what humans and AI agents do, live.
What the company does
In normal terms
AI security and governance for mission-critical operations: its AI Behavioral Control Plane gives real-time visibility, governance and inline enforcement across human and agentic AI interactions, to stop data exposure, unauthorised AI actions and compliance violations.
Polygraf AI gives real-time visibility, governance and inline enforcement across human and agentic AI interactions in mission-critical operations.
In lay terms
Polygraf is a referee that watches every move the AI makes and blows the whistle before a foul.
The risks it faces, especially from AI agents
In normal terms
- Rules from where?. Inline enforcement is only as good as the policy it enforces; someone must define each agent's mandate.
- False calls. Overblocking stops real work; underblocking lets risky actions through.
- Explaining to the business. Security signals need translating into accepted risk for leaders and insurers.
In lay terms
- Rules from where?. A referee needs a rulebook.
- False calls. A referee who blows the whistle too much ruins the game; too little, someone gets hurt.
- Explaining to the business. The referee's notes mean nothing to the fans unless someone explains them.

In normal terms
Closest commercial neighbour. RiskMandate's Agent Behaviour Policy is the rulebook and the record; Polygraf can be the enforcement. Compare notes and look for an integration where a policy written once is enforced live.
In lay terms
Polygraf is the referee; RiskMandate writes the rulebook and keeps the scorecard.
A first line for the conversation: You enforce behaviour live. We write the behaviour policy. Could one feed the other?
