Govern AI Behavior with Policies
Configure symbolic policies that automatically enforce business rules, compliance requirements, and security controls across all your AI agents.
Why Use PSAM Policies?
Automated Compliance
Policies automatically enforce regulatory requirements
Consistent Behavior
All agents follow the same business rules
Full Auditability
Complete audit trail of all policy decisions
Real-Time Enforcement
Policies are enforced at the moment of decision
Policy Types
Access Control Policies
Control who can access AI agents and with what permissions
Common Use Cases:
Policy Examples
Business Logic
Allow regular users to access personal assistants during business hours only
PSAM Policy Code
policy "basic_user_access" {
rule "user_role_check" {
condition: user.role == "employee"
effect: "allow"
}
rule "business_hours" {
condition: current_time.hour >= 9 && current_time.hour <= 17
effect: "allow"
}
rule "weekdays_only" {
condition: current_time.weekday <= 5
effect: "allow"
}
default: "deny"
}Expected Outcome
Users can only access AI assistants during 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays

Best Practices
Policy Design
Start Simple
Begin with basic policies and add complexity gradually
Example: Start with role-based access before adding time or location constraints
Use Inheritance
Create base policies that can be extended for specific use cases
Example: Create a base "employee_access" policy that different departments extend
Plan for Exceptions
Always include exception handling and override mechanisms
Example: Emergency access procedures for critical business situations
Security
Principle of Least Privilege
Grant minimum necessary permissions and expand as needed
Example: New users start with read-only access and gain permissions over time
Defense in Depth
Layer multiple policy controls for critical resources
Example: Combine role checks, time restrictions, and approval workflows
Audit Everything
Log all policy decisions for compliance and debugging
Example: Track policy evaluations, decisions, and any overrides
Compliance
Regulatory Mapping
Explicitly map policies to specific regulatory requirements
Example: Tag GDPR-related policies with specific article references
Automated Reporting
Generate compliance reports automatically from policy logs
Example: Monthly GDPR compliance reports showing data access patterns
Regular Review
Schedule periodic policy reviews and updates
Example: Quarterly policy review meetings with legal and compliance teams
Monitoring & Debugging
Policy Monitoring
Real-Time Dashboard
Monitor policy evaluations, decisions, and performance in real-time
Alert Configuration
Set up alerts for policy violations, unusual patterns, or system issues
Performance Metrics
Track policy evaluation latency, cache hit rates, and resource usage
Debugging Tools
Policy Simulator
Test policies against hypothetical scenarios before deployment
Decision Tracer
Step through policy evaluations to understand decision logic
Audit Log Analysis
Analyze historical decisions to identify patterns and issues
