ASCEND - AI Agent and MCP Control Plane
Govern AI agents and MCP servers. Enforce. Prove compliance.
AI agents and MCP servers are taking real actions in your environment like writing to databases, calling APIs, executing code with no governance controls. ASCEND is the control plane that governs both. Discover every agent and MCP server running in your AWS environment. Enforce what they're allowed to do across 13 independent security layers. Generate SEC, FINRA, NYDFS, SR 11-7, SOC 2, and HIPAA compliance evidence automatically.
I'm Donald King, Founder of OW-KAI Technologies and a U.S. Army Veteran with 9+ years in AI/ML governance and cybersecurity.
I built ASCEND because enterprises are deploying AI agents and MCP servers that take real-world actions like database writes, API calls, financial transactions with zero governance controls. Existing security tools were built for humans. None of them govern what AI agents do at the action layer, or what MCP servers invoke at the tool layer.
ASCEND is the control plane for both.
What makes it different from every other AI governance tool:
→ Layer 13 MCP Server Governance:
the only platform that enforces Cedar policies on MCP tool invocations before they reach your databases and APIs. Traditional API gateways are blind to these calls. We intercept every one.
→ 13 independent security layers:
every layer fail-secure. If any layer errors, the action is denied. Never allowed.
→ Discover without deploying:
point ASCEND at your AWS environment with a read-only IAM role. In 15 minutes you see every AI agent and MCP server running, whether your security team registered it or not.
→ Compliance evidence that generates itself: 28 pre-built reports covering SEC, FINRA, NYDFS, SR 11-7, SOC 2, and HIPAA. Pulled from live governance decisions with cryptographic attestation. Not a spreadsheet.
→ Sub-500ms kill switch:
SNS/SQS architecture stops any agent in under 500ms from a single dashboard click.
The platform ships with a free 14-day sandbox, fully provisioned on production infrastructure, no credit card required, ready in under 5 minutes.

Happy to answer any questions about the architecture, the regulatory evidence engine, or how MCP governance works technically. Ask anything.
