Regulation, already written
Soyio maintains policy templates per regulation, such as US state calling quiet hours. Your team builds agents, not rulebooks.
Compliance your agents can't fake.
Soyio checks every action your agent takes against what each person actually allowed, under current regulation, and keeps signed evidence of every decision.

Your agent can call the tool. Can you prove it was allowed?
Agents already send messages, place calls and update records on behalf of your organization. Each of those actions uses someone's personal data.
People aren't the only ones talking to your agent anymore. Their personal agents do too, on their behalf.

Who authorized this?Your agent answers both. Before it acts, it needs to know what each person allowed.
- 01
They act at machine speed
Calls, messages, credit checks and record updates, all on personal data and in seconds.
- 02
Consent sits out of their reach
It lives in your consent platform and forms. The agent never checks it before acting.
- 03
Rules change by country and state
Quiet hours, channel limits and purposes vary by jurisdiction. Hard-coding them in prompts doesn't scale.
- 04
No record of why it acted
When a regulator or a customer asks, no one can show what the agent checked before it acted.
A regulator won't accept that the model almost always obeys. It accepts a record that the forbidden action couldn't run.
A generic gate asks whether the agent can use the tool. Soyio asks:
Did this person allow this action, for this company, for this purpose, through this channel, right now?
Soyio answers it before anything runs.
The hard part is knowing what each person allowed, keeping it current and proving it. Soyio already runs that infrastructure for consent, data subject rights, identity verification and records of processing. Now it sits in front of every action your agents take.
Every tool call gets a decision before it runs
The model proposes; the harness decides. Soyio sits at that point, between your agent and its tools.
- 01
Intercept
The agent's tool call goes through the Soyio gate first, running in your environment.
- 02
Check
Soyio reads the person's current permissions and the policy templates for the regulations that apply.
- 03
Decide
Allow, deny or say what's missing. Each answer tells the agent what it can do next.
- 04
Record
The decision is stored as signed, immutable evidence in the Soyio platform.

- 02A new permission doesn't erase a prohibition.
- 03A refusal isn't asked again automatically.
Compliance at the moment of action
Each decision draws on rules Soyio keeps current and on consent people actually gave.
Consent an agent can't fake
The request appears in the chat and Soyio confirms the answer, so a hijacked agent can't invent a yes. Between agents, it runs over the Soyio protocol.
Evidence by default
Every decision is signed and chained to the previous one. Nothing is deleted or rewritten, so compliance queries what happened instead of reconstructing it.
Built on the consent you already record
Your agents read the same permissions already recorded by Consent, Cookies and the Rights Manager. A revocation applies from the next tool call.
One protocol. Only who answers changes.
When a permission is missing, Soyio doesn't stop at blocking. It asks whoever can grant it, through a legitimate channel, and re-evaluates the action with the answer.

Only the next permission
Person, purpose, action, channel and validity. Nothing more.
Out of the agent's reach
The agent can't declare that the person agreed.
A prohibition isn't negotiable
It never turns into a permission request.
What your DPO gets
Every agent action comes with its decision, the reason and the evidence.
Every decision, searchable
Look up agent decisions by person, purpose or channel.
Evidence ready for audits
Export signed evidence when a regulator or a customer asks for it.
Policies kept current
Soyio updates the regulation templates and you approve each change.
Revocations apply at once
When someone withdraws consent, it applies from the agent's next tool call.
Runs next to your agent. Soyio keeps it current.
The gate lives in your environment, in front of every tool your agent can use. Soyio sends it policies and permissions and receives the evidence.

Evidence in Soyio, data with you
Signed evidence goes to Soyio in batches. Raw tool inputs and outputs stay in your environment.
Your prompt is not enforcement.
Adaptive attacks bypassed 12 recent defenses against jailbreaks and prompt injection, with success rates above 90% for most of them (The Attacker Moves Second, 2025). Enforcement has to live outside the model.

Frequently asked questions
These are the questions teams building agents ask us most. If you have others, write to us.
It's a check that runs every time an agent is about to act on someone's data. Before the tool runs, Soyio decides whether that person allowed the action under current regulation and records the decision as evidence.
No. Guardrails shape what the model says and does. Soyio adds what they lack: each person's consent, the rules of each regulation and evidence of every decision.
We start with the rules our design partners need, such as US state calling quiet hours. Where their agents operate decides which templates come next.
In a chat, the request appears in the conversation and Soyio confirms the person's answer: the agent never records a yes on its own. Between agents, the person's agent asks for access over the Soyio protocol. The person approves on a Soyio screen and their agent receives a scoped permission that expires.
If it's missing, the decision is requires_action: the agent learns what's missing and how to ask for it. If the person revoked it, the decision is deny from the next tool call on.
The gate reads permissions recorded in the Soyio platform. If you collect consent in another tool today, mention it in the form: connecting other sources is part of what we're working out with design partners.
