Fortellar

We build the AI agents your security, compliance, and operations teams will actually trust to run in production.

From security and compliance to operations, finance, and the lines of business, we design and build agents across every team and workflow that needs them. Engineered against your controls from the first line of code, owned by your team on day one, and backed by a named owner and runbook from ours.

Why This Matters

An agent loose in your environment with the access of a senior engineer and the judgment of a stranger is not a productivity story. It's a breach narrative your board will read in the postmortem.

The market is flooded with general-purpose agents. They demo beautifully. They fail the moment they hit your identity stack, your data classifications, your change-control process, or the specific way your compliance team reviews anything that touches regulated data. Generic agents don't survive regulated environments.

What you need is the opposite: a small number of agents built for a specific workflow, claims triage, vendor risk, threat triage, audit evidence, designed with your guardrails in the architecture, not bolted on after a security review. That's what we build, and we can either hand them over to your team or run them long-term through our Managed Agent Services to ensure their success well beyond go-live.

Where generic agents break
01

Identity

An agent inherits access. Yours has to hold up against your identity stack.

02

Data classification

Regulated data needs a guardrail in the architecture, not a review after.

03

Change control

Prompt and model changes are changes. They belong in your process.

04

Ownership

Who runs it after go-live, and who is accountable when its behavior drifts.

Who This Is For

The teams we build for aren't exploring AI, they've tried and hit a wall.

Situation 01

Pilot stalled at the security review

You built something promising. Your security team opened it and found no identity model, no logging, no data boundary. The project hasn't moved in two months.

The outcomeA production-ready agent with security signed off on the architecture, not the aftermath.
Situation 02

A specific workflow eats your team's week

Tier-1 alert triage, vendor intake, compliance evidence collection, you know which workflow is draining your hours. You want an agent that owns it, not another dashboard.

The outcomeA domain-specific agent running that workflow end-to-end with your policy enforced in every step.
Situation 03

Regulated industry, off-the-shelf doesn't fit

The vendor agents assume your data can leave your boundary. It can't. You need something built inside your constraints, not retrofitted to them.

The outcomeAn agent architecture that satisfies HITRUST, HIPAA, or your auditor's favorite framework from day one.
What's Included

You end with production agents your team can explain, extend, and defend.

No black-box handoff. Every artifact is documented, owned, and maintainable after we leave.

A domain-specific agent running in production

Built against your workflow, deployed in your environment, integrated with your identity and logging stack, not a sandbox demo.

A multi-agent orchestration layer

When the workflow needs more than one agent, a documented orchestration layer with deterministic routing, retries, and human-in-the-loop gates.

Agent identity and least-privilege access

Every agent has a scoped service identity, a rotation policy, and permissions reviewed against the principle of least privilege.

An evaluation harness and red-team suite

Regression tests, adversarial prompts, and drift checks, runnable on every change so regressions don't ship to production.

A runbook and named owner for each agent

Escalation paths, kill switches, and quarterly review cadence, written so your on-call engineer can take over without calling us.

API integrations into your existing systems

ServiceNow, Jira, Splunk, ticketing, SIEM, EHR, built to contracts that hold up in change management, not screen-scrapers that break on UI updates.

How It Works

Four phases from signed scope to production ownership.

Phase 01

Scope & guardrails

We define exactly what the agent does, what it can't, and which data and actions require human approval, before any code is written.

You walk away with
  • Signed scope & guardrail spec
  • Data-boundary definition
  • Human-in-the-loop policy
Phase 02

Design & build

We design the agent architecture, orchestration flow, and evaluation harness, and build iteratively with your stakeholders in every review.

You walk away with
  • Architecture doc
  • Agent + orchestration code
  • Eval + red-team harness
Phase 03

Secure & integrate

We stand up agent identity, logging, rate limits, and the real integrations into your production systems, with your security team reviewing each gate.

You walk away with
  • Scoped identities deployed
  • Telemetry pipeline live
  • Production integrations signed off
Phase 04

Handoff & enable

We train your engineers, publish the runbook, and stay alongside for a supported cutover before you fully own it.

You walk away with
  • Runbook + escalation tree
  • Trained engineers on your team
  • Quarterly review cadence set
Expertise This Work Draws On

The capabilities this build stands on.

Cybersecurity & Compliance

Identity & Access Management

Service-account architecture, secrets management, and least-privilege enforcement for agent-to-system calls in regulated environments.

See expertise
Cybersecurity & Compliance

Threat Assessment

Adversarial evaluation, prompt injection, jailbreak, data-exfil, and supply-chain threats modeled against every agent before production.

See expertise
Cloud & Technology Infrastructure

Cloud Security Posture Management

The agent and its orchestration layer live in your cloud. We make sure the surrounding network, secrets, and data-plane posture holds.

Technology & Security Operations

Logging & Audit Trail

Every agent decision and tool call captured, correlated, and queryable, so you have an evidence chain before an auditor asks for one.

See expertise

The agent your team needs isn't on a vendor's roadmap. It's the one built against your controls.

Thirty minutes with a senior engineer and partner. We'll scope what you'd actually ship and what it takes to get there safely.
