Answer "what did the agent know?" — provably
It's the first question in every AI incident review and every enterprise security questionnaire. A hash-chained, append-only log answers it — without trusting application logs that could have been edited after the fact.
The risk
"What did the agent know when it did that?" is the first question in every AI incident review, every regulator inquiry, and every enterprise security questionnaire. If the answer lives in application logs that could have been edited after the fact, it isn't an answer a regulator or a customer will accept.
You need a record that's convincing precisely because it can't have been quietly rewritten to match the story you'd prefer to tell.
How Governed Memory handles it
- 01Every decision is an event
Writes, reads, quarantines, policy checks, and blocked actions are all recorded — not just the happy path an application chose to log.
- 02Hash-chained and append-only
Each entry carries a SHA-256 hash over its own contents and the entry before it. There's no in-place edit that leaves the chain consistent.
- 03Tampering is detectable
Verification re-computes the chain from stored fields, so it catches an entry that was altered after it was written — not only one that was deleted.
- 04Replayable months later
You can reconstruct exactly what the agent saw and why it acted, long after the fact, without trusting the application that produced the events.
