Govern the runtime AI systems your organization actually deploys

SentinelAI extends governance beyond model records by giving teams a dedicated AI systems layer for the operational units that go live, inherit governed dependencies, and move through release and oversight decisions.

What this area covers

AI systems help teams govern what runs in production, not just the underlying components. Each record can connect models, approved use cases, datasets, readiness posture, and current release references so governance decisions reflect the deployed system boundary.

Related product areas

  • Model registry

    Maintain a governed inventory for AI models and use-case context with lifecycle state, ownership, risk posture, and supporting evidence.

  • Prompt registry

    Govern versioned prompts, retrieval settings, linked AI systems, and evaluation posture from a dedicated prompt operations record.

  • RAG sources

    Register governed retrieval sources with ingestion status, version history, citation context, and AI-system linkage.

  • Evaluation suites

    Define governed prompt evaluation suites with baselines, regression thresholds, run evidence, and release-blocking posture.

  • Release governance

    Manage AI-system release records with approval state, rollback references, dependency snapshots, and invalidation handling.

  • LLM telemetry and monitoring

    Bring live assurance signals, telemetry connector management, trigger rules, and evidence-ready monitoring context into AI governance workflows.

Core capabilities

Built to support production governance work

Runtime system records

Maintain AI-system records with ownership, lifecycle stage, deployment target, endpoint references, and business-unit context in one governed workspace.

Linked governed dependencies

Roll up the models, use cases, and datasets that support the system so reviewers can see the operational dependency set without manual reconciliation.

Readiness posture

Track readiness states such as draft, ready, needs review, attention required, and retired so teams know which systems can progress and which need follow-up.

Release-aware oversight

Keep the current release reference and downstream release-governance state tied to the same runtime record used during review and monitoring.

Operational inventory clarity

Give governance, platform, and product teams a clearer picture of what is actually deployed instead of relying on model inventories alone.

Target users

  • AI governance teams organizing runtime oversight around deployed systems instead of isolated assets
  • Platform, release, and product owners who need one governed record for the operational unit going live
  • Compliance and risk stakeholders reviewing readiness across the full system dependency set
  • ML and data teams linking approved models and datasets into production-facing AI systems

Governance value

  • Creates a governed runtime inventory that sits between model records and production release decisions
  • Reduces ambiguity about which governed assets make up a deployed AI system
  • Improves review readiness by keeping dependency context, ownership, and operational state together
  • Supports release, evaluation, telemetry, and case workflows from a shared system boundary
  • Makes post-deployment oversight easier to anchor to the system that actually changed

How teams use it

A practical operating flow for this feature family

Step 1

Define the system boundary

Register the runtime AI system with owners, deployment context, lifecycle state, and the release reference that matters operationally.

Step 2

Link governed dependencies

Connect the models, use cases, and datasets that should roll up into that runtime system before approval and monitoring work begins.

Step 3

Review and update over time

Use the AI-system record as the operational source of truth when readiness changes, releases move forward, or incidents require investigation.
