What happens when AI agents start accessing sensitive business data? A control layer aims to govern those decisions in real time.
DXC Technology and Primary have launched an AI-native Zero Trust platform designed to govern how AI agents and enterprise AI applications access data, identities, and business processes. DXC will serve as the exclusive managed services partner for the platform, providing consulting, implementation, integration, governance, and ongoing security operations.
The offering addresses a security challenge emerging as organisations move AI applications from experimentation into production. Traditional security models primarily govern users, devices, and networks, while autonomous AI agents can independently interact with enterprise systems and sensitive information.
The platform is intended to give organisations greater visibility into AI activity and apply security policies to interactions involving users, applications, data, and AI agents. This can help enterprises control access to sensitive information while supporting compliance and data-sovereignty requirements.
At its core is an AI-native Zero Trust Unified Control Plane designed to bring telemetry from different domains into a common security layer. The system uses this context to support continuous policy enforcement across AI workflows, allowing organisations to determine whether an AI-driven action should be permitted.
The joint offering includes capabilities for securing AI agents and enterprise AI applications, governing access to enterprise data, strengthening identity and policy enforcement, and monitoring activity across distributed enterprise environments. DXC’s managed security services are intended to handle implementation and integration as well as ongoing governance and operations.
The platform is particularly aimed at organisations operating in regulated environments where AI deployment must account for security, compliance, and data sovereignty. The approach moves Zero Trust controls beyond conventional infrastructure towards the AI systems themselves.
“As enterprises move from AI pilots to production, security and governance must evolve just as quickly,” says Dawn-Marie Vaughan, Cybersecurity Global Offering Lead, DXC Technology. “Trusted AI requires more than securing infrastructure; it requires governing how AI systems access data, identities, and business processes. Together with Primary, we are helping customers bring Zero Trust to enterprise AI, with the visibility, control, and operational confidence needed to move from pilot to production.”
