Your agent is capable. It's confident. It just doesn't know your rules.
And when it makes a decision you can't explain, you're the one liable.
AI knows what HIPAA is. It doesn't know what HIPAA means for you.
Every agent improvises slightly differently. That's not governance.
When regulators ask what your AI knew, you need an answer.
SCP streams your governance context—your policies, your boundaries, your compliance requirements—directly to your AI agents at runtime. They operate inside your rules, not their training data.
The agent handles the work. SCP keeps it within your boundaries.
| Without SCP | With SCP |
|---|---|
| Agent improvises based on training | Agent follows your policies |
| No proof of what it knew | Full audit trail, every request |
| Behavior drifts between agents | Consistent governance, every agent |
| Update the agent to change behavior | Update context, agent adjusts instantly |
Your PHI handling policy. Your minimum necessary standard. Your clinical safety thresholds. Not generic HIPAA guidance.
Your risk tolerance. Your lending criteria. Your fraud escalation rules. Not textbook compliance.
Your privilege protocols. Your conflict checks. Your document retention policy. Not general best practices.
For teams that need to validate the architecture:
Your agents become thin clients. Governance lives in the control plane.
