Runtime governance
for AI agents.
Powered by Custos.
Custos provides policy enforcement,
auditability and runtime security
for AI agents operating against
databases, APIs and enterprise systems.
Control. Observe. Protect.
Observe
Real-time visibility into AI agent actions and system interactions.
Decide
Policy-based decisions ensure actions are safe, compliant, and reliable.
Execute
Approved actions are executed through secure connectors and SDKs.
Protect
Built-in guardrails and audit trails keep your systems and data safe.

Works with your existing PostgreSQL and psycopg2 code. Just route traffic through the Custos gateway.
import psycopg2
from custos import Custos
conn = psycopg2.connect(port=9999)
custos = Custos(agent_id="my-agent")
plan = {
"intent": "List actors",
"action": "SELECT * FROM actor LIMIT 10;"
}
with custos.secure_action(plan) as ctx:
conn.cursor().execute(plan["action"])Custos doesn't just run AI actions — it governs them in real time. Here are examples of what gets blocked:
plan = {
"intent": "Reset database",
"action": "DROP TABLE users;"
}
# ❌ Blocked: destructive operation detectedplan = {
"intent": "Analyze customers",
"action": "SELECT ssn, credit_score FROM customers;"
}
# ❌ Blocked: Dangerous hallucinated column access : sensitive fields + unauthorized access
# Policy: PII columns restricted for this agentGovernance for AI Agents
AI agents are evolving beyond simple chat interfaces. They can now query databases, call APIs, and perform real business operations autonomously.
As organizations adopt AI agents, critical questions emerge:
- What is the AI trying to do?
- Should this action be allowed?
- Can every decision and action be audited later?
Custos was created to answer these questions.
Positioned between AI agents and enterprise systems, Custos validates intent, enforces policies, and creates a complete audit trail for every AI-driven action.
We believe that as AI gains more autonomy, governance becomes essential.
Our vision is to become the trust layer for the AI era, enabling organizations to deploy AI agents securely and with confidence.
Founder & Vision
Custos was founded by a software architect with more than 20 years of experience in enterprise software, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems.
His background includes delivering security-sensitive projects for financial institutions, government agencies, and enterprise customers where governance, compliance, and auditability are essential.
He also brings extensive experience in AI model training, inference serving, and AI platform engineering, providing firsthand insight into the challenges of deploying autonomous AI systems safely at scale.
Custos was founded with a simple mission: to make AI actions secure, governed, and auditable by default.
