Keel Guard
Guard is the governed foundation. It continuously secures and governs the environment your organization operates on and the environment it builds on, so more can be built by more people and more agents without losing control.
Talk to KeelOnce building is cheap, more gets built by more people and more agents, and a governance review from last quarter is already out of date. Guard makes governance continuous. It watches the environment as it changes and keeps it inside your rules, so velocity does not come at the cost of control.
How Guard works
One continuous loop, across what you operate on and what you build on.
Observe
Configurations, controls, and engineering practices, always.
Understand
Turn technical state into findings that mean something.
Govern
Enforce the rules technology must meet to run and ship.
Act
Close drift, and increasingly fix it automatically.
Runs continuously
What you operate on
What you build on
The four pillars
Identity
Your people and your service principals, governed by the directory you already run.
Access
What each person, agent, and service can reach, scoped to your own rules.
Controls
The rules of the environment, enforced before the work starts rather than bolted on after.
Audit
Every action recorded, in a trail you own and can put in front of a regulator.
Identity establishes who. Access decides what. Controls set the rules. Audit proves it happened.
Guard is the governance layer of the Keel Platform. It secures and governs everything the platform does, Terminal's work, Dock's documents, Harbor's connections, all on the Microsoft foundation you own.
