Catalisa / Governance

Trust has
structure.

Who can act. What needs review. How to understand what happened. Governance connects these answers to the operation.

PURPOSERESPONSIBILITYTRUST / WITH STRUCTURE
More clarity to act.
More context to respond.
A shared responsibility

The foundation provides mechanisms.
Operations set the direction.

Governance is built into the design of every journey: in access, rules, review and the records that help reconstruct the work.

The platform connects these capabilities. Each organization defines its policy, configures the controls and validates whether they meet the requirements of the context in which it will operate.

Before, during and after

An action needs
make sense
at every moment.

01

Before acting

Identify the person and the organization, verify the role and define which information and actions are available.

Identity and permissions
02

When the action requires review

Define what requires someone else, at which step, and with what authority. Approval design is part of the journey.

Access policy
03

After it happens

Link the action to the available records, the change made and the rule that guided the outcome.

History and evidence
Two people. Different responsibilities.

A request doesn't have to
be the approval itself.

Experience the separation between
who requests and who reviews.

A look at the four-eyes principle

Prepare.
Check it out.
Decide.

IAM documents a second-person review policy for sensitive access changes covered by this control.

When the organization's policy is enabled, the change creates a request. The review falls to another authorized person in the same organization.

This is a local, illustrative example. It does not change permissions. The actual scope depends on the activated policy and the actions covered in IAM.

EXAMPLE / SENSITIVE ACCESS CHANGERequest not yet created

Grant a role
of sensitive access.

One person requests. Another authorized person reviews, within the same organization.

AApplicantPrepares the request
BReviewerChecks and decides

Start with person A and prepare the request.

When the question comes: what happened?

The history needs
help tell the story.

A change gains context when you can link who acted, what changed and which reference was used.

ILLUSTRATIVE VIEW / NO REAL DATA

One change.
More than one
question.

Records come from the responsible capabilities. The example organizes the questions an investigation needs to answer.

Who?

Person, system and organization

Identity context travels with the action according to the mechanism used.

What?

Appeal and change

The history can show the previous state and what remained afterward.

Under which rule?

Reference and version

An evaluation can be linked to the policy version that was published.

What's covered?

Events actually recorded

The trail depends on the events each capability publishes. Coverage needs to be verified.

Audit Trail is in Beta. Declared retention does not mean automatic deletion; configuration, collection, and operational procedures must be active. Verifiable trail integrity has documented limits.

Check coverage and limits
The principle gains context

Governance keeps pace
the type of work.

01 / Cross-organization access

The same platform.
Their own access boundaries.

Identity, organization and permissions help define the context in which each person acts. An integration's access also needs its own scope.

02 / Business policy

The rule changes.
The reference remains.

Versioned policies help link an evaluation to the rule in use at that moment. Preparing the data and publishing the policy are separate responsibilities.

03 / Copilot-assisted service

Intelligence supports.
The professional reviews.

The profile can define assistance, records, and actions for different moments of the service interaction. Review and release of next steps are part of how that experience is designed.

An overview of access

People, roles
and statuses need to
be understandable.

An interface helps the team check who takes part in the operation and under what conditions. Permissions are still enforced by the responsible capability.

Capabilities behind the controls

Each mechanism has
a role and a stage.

Explore the capability's purpose
and check the limits before integrating.

To assess clearly

Trust, too
is understanding the scope.

Does having a trail mean logging everything?

No. The trail depends on the events published by the capabilities. Check which actions are covered, whether collection is enabled and which records are available in your composition.

Does the four-eyes principle apply to every action?

The mechanism documented in IAM covers sensitive access changes defined by the policy, when enabled. Approval of payments, documents or other actions requires its own design and validation.

Can an agent use everything just because it received an instruction?

Instructions guide behavior. Access to tools and actions needs its own controls, configured for the role and context in which the agent participates.

Does setting a retention period delete the records right away?

No. The Audit Trail documentation distinguishes the declared policy from the execution of the deletion procedure. Operations must configure and monitor this process, taking the documented limits into account.

Do these mechanisms guarantee compliance on their own?

They provide resources for designing controls. Policy, configuration, coverage, operation and sufficiency assessment depend on the organization's context. They are not equivalent to an automatic certification.

Where should the assessment start?

Choose a journey. Identify who is involved, what information they use, which actions require review and which records need to be available. Then compare those needs with the stage and limits of the capabilities you've chosen.

Autonomy that meets accountability

Build the next step.
With the clarity to respond.
