SafeClaw for Enterprise and Compliance FAQ

Does SafeClaw help with compliance?

Yes. SafeClaw provides three capabilities that directly support compliance: (1) a tamper-proof audit trail with SHA-256 hash chain verification, (2) deny-by-default policies that enforce the principle of least privilege, and (3) exportable logs for compliance reporting. These capabilities address requirements in SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and other regulatory frameworks that mandate access control and activity logging for systems handling sensitive data. See also: Audit Trail FAQ.

Can I prove what agents did and didn't do?

Yes. SafeClaw's audit trail records every action an agent attempted, whether it was allowed or denied, which policy rule matched, and the exact timestamp. The SHA-256 hash chain ensures these records have not been altered retroactively. This provides verifiable, cryptographic proof of agent behavior that auditors can independently validate. See also: Audit Trail FAQ.

What regulations benefit from audit trails?

Any regulation requiring access control logging and audit trails benefits from SafeClaw. Specific frameworks include: SOC 2 (Trust Service Criteria CC6.1, CC7.2 — access controls and system monitoring), PCI-DSS (Requirement 10 — track and monitor all access), GDPR (Article 30 — records of processing activities), HIPAA (164.312 — audit controls), and ISO 27001 (A.12.4 — logging and monitoring). SafeClaw's tamper-proof logs meet the evidentiary standards these frameworks require.

Can I export compliance reports?

Yes. SafeClaw audit logs can be exported from the browser dashboard in structured formats suitable for compliance reporting. Exported reports include the full SHA-256 hash chain for independent verification. Logs can be ingested by SIEM platforms, GRC tools, or provided directly to auditors. The export includes all action metadata: type, target, timestamp, agent identifier, matched rule, and decision. See also: Audit Trail FAQ.

Does SafeClaw support multi-agent environments?

Yes. SafeClaw is designed for environments with multiple AI agents operating simultaneously. Each agent is tracked by its unique identifier in the audit trail. Policies can be assigned per agent, per role, or shared across agent groups. The audit trail maintains a complete, per-agent record of all actions and decisions. See also: Policy Engine FAQ.

Can different agents have different policies?

Yes. SafeClaw supports per-agent policies. A coding agent can be allowed to write files and run npm test but denied network access. A data analysis agent can be allowed to read CSVs and make API calls to approved endpoints but denied shell access. Each agent operates under its own policy, enforcing the principle of least privilege at the individual agent level. See also: Policy Engine FAQ.

How does SafeClaw handle PCI-DSS requirements?

PCI-DSS Requirement 10 mandates tracking and monitoring all access to network resources and cardholder data. SafeClaw's audit trail logs every action an AI agent takes, including denied attempts to access restricted resources. The tamper-proof SHA-256 hash chain satisfies the requirement for secure, unalterable logs. Deny-by-default policies ensure agents cannot access cardholder data environments unless explicitly permitted. See also: Audit Trail FAQ.

What about SOC 2?

SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria require access controls (CC6.1), system monitoring (CC7.2), and change management evidence. SafeClaw addresses these through: deny-by-default policies (access control), the tamper-proof audit trail (monitoring), and version-controllable policy files (change management). The exportable audit logs provide the evidence artifacts SOC 2 auditors require. See also: Policy Engine FAQ.

Can SafeClaw be self-hosted?

SafeClaw's client runs entirely locally — policy evaluation, action gating, and the local audit trail do not require cloud connectivity. The Authensor control plane provides the browser dashboard and remote audit review. For enterprises requiring full data sovereignty, contact Authensor at authensor.com to discuss self-hosted control plane options. The 100% open source client (MIT license) can be deployed in any environment without restriction. See also: Privacy and Trust FAQ.

What SLA does SafeClaw offer?

SafeClaw's policy evaluation runs locally with sub-millisecond latency and does not depend on the control plane for enforcement decisions. If the Authensor control plane is unreachable, action gating continues without interruption — SafeClaw does not fail open. For enterprise SLA terms covering the control plane dashboard and API key management, contact Authensor at authensor.com. The free tier includes 7-day renewable keys with no credit card required.
