Announcing New Watchlight AI Services: Executive Briefing, Implementation, and Advisory Retainer

Today we are expanding the Watchlight AI services portfolio with three new paid engagements and a new free 30-minute consultation, all designed to bring Agent Runtime Governance from architecture into production across your enterprise.

The new services round out a complete path for Agent Runtime Governance. An executive briefing aligns your leadership on the shape of the problem. A workshop produces a clear architecture. An implementation puts it into operation. A retainer keeps it sharp as the estate grows. Together with Watchlight AI Beacon, they cover every stage of an agent governance program.

What's New

Executive Briefing on Agent Runtime Governance. A half-day educational session for boards, CISO leadership, AI steering committees, and audit committees. Walks the agentic AI landscape, the 12 Principles, the regulatory pressure (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001), and where your enterprise stands. Led by Watchlight practitioners and calibrated for senior audiences. (Learn More →)

Agent Runtime Governance Implementation. Sprint-based engagements that bring Agent Runtime Governance into production. You finish the engagement with a deployed policy library, runtime authorization controls integrated with your existing identity and security stack, continuous agent and MCP server discovery operating in your environment, and tamper-evident execution lineage feeding your audit pipeline. Typical engagements run four to twelve weeks. (Learn More →)

Agent Runtime Governance Advisory. A monthly retainer that gives your security and identity leaders a Watchlight ARG architect on call as the agent estate grows. Includes monthly architecture review, design review on new agent rollouts before they ship, quarterly posture reports against the 12 Principles, and an annual workshop credit. (Learn More →)

Free Consultation. A 30-minute video conversation with a Watchlight ARG architect to map your environment and align on the strongest next step. We follow up within one business day with a written summary. (Book a consultation →)

How Customers Choose

We built the services so customers can engage at the point that matches their stage and the constraints of their team.

Some organizations begin with an executive briefing to align the board and senior leadership before any technical scoping. Others run a workshop, then engage us for implementation, then transition to a retainer for ongoing oversight. Some go directly from workshop to retainer because their engineering team is the right size to build the controls themselves and they want expertise on call. Some evaluate Watchlight AI Beacon through the Founding Design Partner Program and use a workshop or briefing alongside.

A balanced services and product approach matters because customers are at different stages of Agent Runtime Governance maturity. A regulated financial services firm with a strong platform engineering team may execute the implementation themselves with our retainer providing architectural oversight. A mid-market organization without dedicated security architecture often wants us to build the controls and remain engaged operationally. A board newly responsible for AI risk oversight often starts with the executive briefing. All are valid.

What Stays the Same

Every Watchlight engagement is led by practitioners who have spent more than two decades architecting identity and security infrastructure for large, regulated enterprises. We are the authors of the 12 Principles for Agent Runtime Governance, the framework that defines the category. The architects on your engagement are the people who wrote it and maintain it.

We work across the agent frameworks enterprises are actually deploying: LangGraph, Google ADK, AWS Bedrock Agents, MCP servers, the Microsoft Agent Framework, and custom in-house agents.
