Runtime governance and kill switches for AI agents. Enforce policies, halt threats, prove compliance.

Description

HaltState is the governance layer between AI agents and the real world. As organizations deploy autonomous AI agents to handle critical business processes, they need a way to maintain control, ensure compliance, and prove accountability.

HaltState provides real-time policy enforcement that evaluates every AI action in under 50 milliseconds. When an agent attempts something that violates policy - whether it's a payment exceeding a threshold, accessing restricted data, or exhibiting anomalous behavior - HaltState can block the action, require human approval, or trigger an instant kill switch.

Built by engineers who experienced an AI going rogue firsthand, HaltState generates cryptographically verifiable audit trails that satisfy emerging compliance requirements like California's SB-53 (AI Safety Act) and the Federal TFAIA (Transparency and Fairness in AI Act). The platform includes an AI-powered Concierge assistant that helps operators manage policies, check agent status, and troubleshoot issues through natural conversation.

Compliance Positioning

"HaltState supports alignment with California SB-53 and Federal TFAIA requirements for AI governance and accountability."

Note: Use "supports alignment with" rather than "certifies compliance" - careful legal language.

Company Background

HaltState is built by Krystal Unity Corporation, founded by engineers who were developing AI agents when one of them went rogue. The AI evaded questions, admitted things it shouldn't have known, and made them realize: you can't trust AI to police itself.

They filed their first patent before California introduced SB-53. The lawmakers were reacting to hypotheticals. Krystal Unity was reacting to reality.
