Secure System Connections

Secure system connections let AI use business software through defined interfaces. We build APIs and connectors with scoped access, clear identities and controls around changes.

Access should follow the task, not the entire account.

Connect Only What the Work Requires

The connection determines what information an agent can see and which actions it can propose or perform.

Business-system interfaces

Connect agreed business systems through APIs and purpose-built adapters. Where appropriate, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers expose defined tools and data to AI clients.

Identity and permissions

Define which person or agent is acting and which records or functions they can access. Keep separate client and workflow boundaries where required.

Controlled changes

Distinguish lookups from writes. Add validation, previews and approval requirements for changes, with a useful record of the action and its result.

Example Workflow

A Connection With a Boundary

An illustrative record-update path, with the source system retaining ownership of its data.

  1. Identify

    Confirm the requesting person or agent.

  2. Check scope

    Allow only the relevant records and functions.

  3. Prepare and approve

    Validate the proposed change and request review where required.

  4. Apply and record

    Use the source interface and capture the returned result.

Scope Every Connection

We agree read and change permissions separately. Credentials, data handling and failure behaviour are part of the design. A system without suitable access may need a different workflow or a narrower scope.

How We Work

Systems and demonstrations

Explore the workflow, the controls and the decisions people retain.

Security engineering

Agent Tool and Skill Security

Permissions and tool boundaries constrain what untrusted input can cause. The engineering covers declared access, controlled skill versions, connection gates and confirmation around sensitive actions.

  1. Declare and enforce

    Tools declare their required permissions, which are checked before execution. Undeclared connections are blocked.

  2. Control changes

    Approved skill versions are signed and locked so changes can be detected. Pipeline checks apply the agreed release gates.

  3. Review sensitive actions

    Dry runs or confirmation support review before sensitive execution, with an audit record available to the team.

Controls and responsibility

The boundary limits what a tool can do with input. A text safety check cannot grant permission to execute an undeclared action. Deployment and on-premise review arrangements are scoped with the customer.

Demonstration

AI Control Plane

A shared control layer runs insurance, mortgage and finance workflows through one engine. It routes tasks to model tiers, holds sensitive actions for a person and records the workflow’s decisions and results.

  1. Receive and route

    Intake identifies the workflow and routes the task to an appropriate model tier through a shared entry point.

  2. Check and approve

    Policy checks and a named human gate govern a proposed high-risk action before it can proceed.

  3. Record and compare

    The demonstration records reason codes and compares measured tokens, elapsed time and cost for the same task across model tiers.

Controls and responsibility

Policy failures are recorded too. Checks cover authority and excluded or masked information. The self-hosted comparison is labelled as a benchmark; it is not a general savings promise.

Questions About the Service

Can every system be connected?

No. We assess the available API, permissions, data model and operating constraints. Where a connection is unsuitable, we explain the limitation and scope an alternative.

Can the AI update records automatically?

Only where the agreed workflow permits it. Other changes can remain drafts or require approval, with the source system’s own permissions still enforced.

Do we have to replace our existing software?

The starting point is the software you already use. Replacement is not assumed; we first assess whether the required workflow can be supported through its interfaces.
