The Challenge

The hardest part of AI isn’t building agents.
It’s getting them into production.

Successful pilots stall when governance reviews, cross-team approvals, and production requirements begin.

95%
of GenAI pilots fail to
deliver measurable ROI
88%
of AI pilots never
reach production
42%
of companies abandoned most
AI initiatives last year

Approval Bottlenecks

Agents that succeed in pilot get trapped in layered reviews across security, compliance, and procurement before they can go live.

Decision Deadlock

Multiple teams shape rollout, but no one owns the path from successful pilot to live deployment.

Proof Before Scale

Without proof an agent is safe, reliable, and compliant in production, rollout stops before scale begins.

The pilot worked. Six months later, we’re still waiting on approvals across security, compliance, and governance before it can go live.

See how Prefactor moves agents from pilot to production

Explore the full lifecycle platform in action.

How it works

From pilot to production in minutes.

Integrate via SDK or CLI. Prefactor runs at the agent runtime layer — giving you control over every action, every decision, every data flow.

Deploy ~5 min

Install the SDK or connect via CLI. Works with any framework, any cloud, any agent runtime.

Register Instant

Every agent is registered — see what’s running, what data it touches, and what risk it carries.

Set policy ~10 min

Define rules for PII handling, data access, external calls, and spend limits. Apply per-agent, per-team, or globally.

Enforce Real-time

Policies run at the agent runtime in real time. Block, throttle, sandbox, or escalate — agents can’t reason around it.

Built for your team

Built by engineers.
Governed by leaders.
Verified by security.

The agent is so mission oriented that it will reason its way around non-enforced controls — and it thinks it’s done a great job.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know

What is AI agent management?
AI agent management is the discipline of tracking, assessing, and governing AI agents across their full lifecycle — from pilot to production. It gives enterprises visibility into what agents are doing, whether they’re performing, and the governance evidence needed to scale with confidence.
What is AI agent governance?
AI agent governance is the set of policies, controls, and review workflows that determine how agents are deployed, what identities and permissions they receive, how their behavior is monitored, and what happens when risk thresholds are crossed.
Is Prefactor only for enterprises?
Prefactor is built for enterprises moving AI agents from pilot to production — organisations where governance, visibility, and accountability are required to scale. That said, these challenges aren’t unique to large organisations. Prefactor works for teams of all sizes, from startups shipping their first production agents to government agencies.
How do you enforce governance on AI agents at runtime?
Runtime governance means applying policies directly at the agent execution layer - blocking risky actions, detecting PII in outputs, and routing high-risk operations for human approval. Unlike static rules, runtime enforcement adapts as agents operate.
What is the difference between AI security and agent governance?
AI security focuses on threats such as prompt injection, data leakage, model misuse, and compromised tooling. Agent governance focuses on whether agents are approved, operating within scope, producing acceptable outcomes, and following the right human or policy controls in production.
Why do AI agents need identity and scoped access?
AI agents need their own identity and scoped access so each action can be tied to a specific agent, task, and user context. That enables least privilege, traceability, token revocation, and safer delegation than static shared credentials.
How does Prefactor govern AI agents in production?
Prefactor assesses outcome quality, cost efficiency, and scope adherence across AI agents, then can block actions, route them for approval, or record them for audit when policy thresholds are crossed.
How does Prefactor define agent risk?
Risk is broken into two halves. The action profile is what your agent is permitted to do — create, read, update, or delete data, trigger financial transactions, send external communications. The data profile is the categories of sensitive data flowing through it, classified from public through to secret. Together they tell you how much damage an agent could do, and how much of that surface area it’s actually using.
What types of data does Prefactor look for?
Seventeen categories in total, including standard PII (names, contact, location, behavioural), financial records, credentials, confidential business data, and the GDPR Article 9 special categories — health, biometric, genetic, racial or ethnic origin, religious belief, political opinion, sex life or orientation, and trade union membership.
What’s the difference between what an agent can do and what it’s actually doing?
The first is the design — the permissions and data access an engineer declared when they built the agent. The second is the reality — what the agent has actually invoked in production. Most teams only see the first. Prefactor shows you both, side by side, so you can see where an agent has drifted from what it was designed to do.
How does an engineer declare risk on an agent?
Risk is declared in the schema, not sniffed from payloads at runtime. Each span type in your agent has a data risk definition: which categories of data flow through its inputs and outputs, what classification level they’re at, and what actions it’s allowed to take. That makes the risk profile auditable, version-controlled, and reviewable by a human before it ever runs.
How is an Agent Audit different from a security audit?
A security audit asks whether your infrastructure is hardened. An Agent Audit asks something different: whether the agent itself is doing what you think it’s doing. It’s the layer between the model and the systems it touches — the part most security tooling doesn’t cover yet.
