Now Live, Deploying Globally
What It Is
AxiSentinel is live and deployed today across cloud, on-premises and air-gapped environments, a patent-pending, configurable monitoring architecture built specifically for AI compliance evaluation. It is not a dashboard that displays numbers someone typed in. It is a live evaluation engine: agents capture system telemetry, AxiSentinel evaluates it against the specific regulatory framework that applies, and any threshold breach becomes a Provisional Alert, flagged, timestamped, and routed to a qualified AxiLayer AI auditor for review.
Nothing AxiSentinel flags becomes a compliance finding until a qualified AxiLayer AI auditor signs it.
How It Works
Continuous by Design
Most compliance tools show you a snapshot. AxiSentinel runs continuously, which means the gap between "something changed in your AI system" and "someone qualified knows about it" shrinks from a quarterly review cycle to real time. Every alert AxiSentinel generates carries the specific regulatory citation it's evaluated against, the system it came from, and a full evidence trail, so when a human auditor reviews it, they're reviewing evidence, not starting from scratch.
AxiSentinel Command Center access is by invitation only. If your organization is ready to bring AxiSentinel into a live environment, request a briefing and we'll scope your first deployment together.

Platform Capabilities
AxiSentinel operates across every deployment environment where AI systems run -- cloud, on-premises, mobile, and classified air-gapped facilities.
Intercepts every AI inference event. No sampling. No gaps. No human intervention required between regulatory updates.
A signed, tamper-evident evidence chain links every audit record to the one before it. Evidence is defensible on day one.
Tracks human involvement in AI-driven decisions at the point of evaluation and feeds it into AxiSentinel's oversight-gap scoring model, so a human being in the loop is something you can show evidence for, not just claim.
The .axibatch binary format enables continuous audit evidence generation in disconnected and classified environments with no network connectivity required.
RegDef packages currently encode 870+ obligations across 208+ regulatory frameworks spanning 62+ jurisdictions in 43 countries, including:
New jurisdictions are added by encoding new RegDef packages, without modifying deployed agents.
A compliance-conditional certificate registry, with a real-time public status check for any AxiSentinel-monitored system. It's next on the build roadmap now that the evidence chain and RegDef engine are live; ask your AxiLayer AI representative for the current rollout timeline.
As AI systems shift from generating outputs to taking autonomous action, calling tools, and coordinating with other agents, RegDef packages extend to agentic-specific governance frameworks, evaluating tool permissions, action logs, escalation protocols, and inter-agent communication against emerging autonomous-AI oversight standards.
Extends continuous evaluation to embodied and physical AI systems, including industrial robotics and autonomous machinery, evaluating AI decision-making against both AI-specific governance frameworks and established physical safety standards for equipment operating near human workers.
Most AI governance tools use AI agents to check regulatory boxes. AxiSentinel does the opposite: it observes how your own AI agents behave, in production, against the regulations that actually apply to them. This is a distinct layer from general-purpose AI process observability, it's built specifically to answer one question: is this agent doing what the regulation requires, right now.
Regulatory frameworks for autonomous AI agents are emerging worldwide, from the EU to South Korea to China. AxiSentinel's human-sign-off architecture, requiring a certified auditor to cryptographically approve every Compliance Passport, was designed from the outset to meet exactly this kind of oversight requirement, wherever in the world it takes shape.
Performance
Continuous compliance only works if it keeps pace with production AI. AxiSentinel evaluates, signs, and broadcasts at machine speed, so evidence is generated in line with each AI decision rather than reconstructed afterward.
AI Security
AxiSentinel does more than record what an AI system did: it watches for the ways AI systems are attacked and degraded. The same agent that generates compliance evidence also defends the model stack against manipulation, poisoning, and drift.
Identifies and blocks manipulated or spoofed inputs to perception and decision AI before they can corrupt a model's output.
Every model update is re-certified against all applicable frameworks before deployment is authorized, so a poisoned update never reaches production.
Catches model drift and guardrail breaches in real time, surfaced and evidenced before they would ever appear in a regulatory review.
Monitors the full AI stack for phishing attempts and anomalous agent behavior, extending compliance monitoring into active threat intelligence.
Extends behavioral monitoring to detect AI-generated synthetic media, including voice cloning and deepfake video used in impersonation and social-engineering attacks against AI systems and the organizations operating them.
Deploy Anywhere
AxiSentinel is configured to each client's needs: the cloud you choose, the region your rules require, and the level of protection your data demands. It goes where your AI runs and where your data is required to stay: inside your own cloud tenant, in your data center, in a sovereign or government cloud, in a dedicated AxiLayer AI instance in the Azure region you choose, or fully air-gapped with no network connection at all.
No interference. AxiSentinel deploys alongside your systems without modifying them, and your teams keep full control of their production environments. One platform, one evidence chain, every jurisdiction: evidence produced in Frankfurt, Riyadh, Singapore or Washington carries the same signed, tamper-evident record.
Global Hosting Footprint
AxiLayer AI hosts AxiSentinel on Microsoft Azure, the world's largest cloud footprint, with more than 80 regions announced across 34 countries. When your rules require in-region hosting, we stand up a dedicated AxiSentinel instance, with its own database, in that region. Each regional instance is separate, so data from one region never mixes with another.
United States, Canada, Brazil.
Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, France, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway.
United Arab Emirates, Qatar, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia from November 2026.
Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia.
Where Azure has no local region, AxiSentinel runs inside your own environment or a national government cloud, so data still stays in-country.
Your Cloud, Your Choice
Because the AXI-Node agent runs as a container, a serverless extension or a standalone binary inside your environment, AxiSentinel works on the cloud and infrastructure you already use.
Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud.
Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, Azure operated by 21Vianet in mainland China, AWS European Sovereign Cloud, Google Distributed Cloud, and national government clouds across the Gulf and Asia-Pacific.
Kubernetes and OpenShift, VMware, bare-metal servers, edge and OT networks, telecom network functions, and classified enclaves.
No lock-in. Change clouds or regions and your evidence chain moves with you, intact and re-verifiable.

Built to Fit Your Systems
Every layer of AxiSentinel is designed to be scoped to your own environment: which systems report telemetry, which RegDef packages apply to which business unit, and how findings route to your own compliance team, defined together during onboarding rather than assumed in advance. Role-based access, light and dark modes, and support across nine languages today, with more in active development, are already live. Customization isn't a roadmap promise, it's the way the platform is built to be deployed from day one. The same architecture that monitors a federal benefits system monitors a trading desk's model or a hospital's diagnostic AI: what changes is which RegDef packages are switched on. See how that plays out by industry below.
Built for Every Regulated Industry
One platform, RegDef packages scoped to what actually applies to you. AxiSentinel's architecture doesn't change industry to industry: what changes is which RegDef packages are switched on, and which use cases those packages are watching. Below is a sample of what that looks like in each vertical AxiLayer AI serves today, alongside the full regulatory deep dive for each industry.
Continuous or scheduled algorithmic accountability for federal, state and local agencies, including encoded public-sector AI use policies and a Procurement Readiness Review for AI-enabled tools, with air-gapped deployment for classified environments.

Evaluates whether a campaign, platform, or broadcaster's actual deepfake disclosure and targeting practices match what six state laws and the EU's binding transparency regime require.
Evaluates whether a firm's or court's actual citation-verification and AI-use practices match what Florida's binding rule, Illinois and California guidance, and Quebec's new judicial restriction require.
Evaluates whether a carrier's or contact center's actual consent, opt-out, and labeling practices match what the FCC's binding 2024 ruling and China's mandatory labeling law require.
Government and Defense
AxiLayer AI is a registered federal vendor with an active CAGE Code (20JV1) and UEI (CB76ENDLMUC9), registered in SAM.gov for All Award types since June 3, 2026. We support federal procurement officers, prime contractors, and defense agencies pursuing AI governance and compliance under NIST AI RMF, DoD AI Ethics Principles, and applicable federal AI policy.
AxiSentinel's air-gap and classified environment capabilities make it uniquely suited for defense AI assurance requirements where network connectivity to external infrastructure is prohibited.
Our structural separation from all AI vendors, platforms, and technology providers ensures our assessments are defensible to government oversight bodies and Inspector General review.
Why This Matters
AxiSentinel is built and operated exclusively by AxiLayer AI, a third-party AI assessment body with no commercial relationships with any AI vendor. AxiLayer AI's ISO/IEC 17020:2026 Type A application is in process, alongside a parallel ISO/IEC 42001 application, both with a U.S.-based accreditation body signatory to the ILAC MRA and IAF MLA.
Built to Scale
AxiSentinel is the platform behind AxiLayer AI's Series A raise and its alliance ecosystem. Two ways in:
AxiSentinel anchors AxiLayer AI's technology moat: a patent-pending architecture, a live evidence chain, and a RegDef engine that scales to new regulation without rebuilding. Serious inquiries get access to the full data room, deck, traction, IP position, and the regulatory shift driving demand.
