Critical Infrastructure

AI governance for environments where operational failures have cascading consequences.

What Kenshiki Does Here

In critical infrastructure, an unverified AI recommendation doesn't just create rework — it can trigger cascading failures across interconnected systems. Kenshiki unifies build and orchestration with control in a single three-plane architecture. SIRE provides portable agent identity, scoping operational evidence boundaries so governance travels with each agent across runtimes. The Boundary Gate enforces cross-plane policy propagation — verification rules reach every emission boundary before AI-assisted decisions enter control systems. The Claim Ledger provides deterministic audit trails with per-claim verification.

  • Validates AI-driven operational recommendations against real-time sensor data and maintenance records
  • Enforces authorization boundaries around AI systems that influence control decisions
  • Provides deterministic audit trails for every AI-assisted operational decision
  • Detects and blocks unauthorized AI emissions before they reach operational control systems
  • Supports regulatory reporting with evidence-backed records of AI system behavior

Regulatory Context

Critical infrastructure operators face an expanding set of regulations that specifically address AI governance in operational technology environments.

  • NERC CIP standards require documented controls over systems that can influence bulk electric system operations
  • TSA Security Directives mandate cybersecurity measures for pipeline and surface transportation operators
  • NRC regulations impose strict controls on digital systems in nuclear facility operations
  • EPA risk management programs require documented safety systems for chemical facility operations
  • CISA's cross-sector performance goals establish baseline cybersecurity expectations for all critical infrastructure
