Does it work with our own policies?

It reads the policies you already wrote, through a path you authorize, and applies each rule as written rather than as a template would have it. The audit confirms whether your records expose the activity those rules describe.

Policy adherence monitoring with exception flags

The policy was approved once and never checked again

Today

Adherence is assumed until somebody asks

The policy was approved once and nobody has checked it since, so adherence is assumed until somebody asks.
The rules sit in a document and the activity they govern sits everywhere else.
An exception somebody notices gets mentioned in a meeting and never written down against the rule it touched.
And some of what the business does every week is covered by no rule in that document at all.

With agents

Activity compared against the rules you wrote, each exception tied to the rule it touched

Adherence is observed rather than assumed.
An exception arrives with its rule attached.
A gap in the policy stops reading as adherence.

How an agent runs it

Adherence is a comparison, and the comparison is the thing that stops happening between review dates. This workflow runs it continuously and binds every result to the rule behind it.

Reads

Takes the policies you wrote down, as written, together with the activity records you authorize it to read.

Compares

Tests that activity against those rules continuously rather than at a review date, so adherence is observed rather than assumed.

Records

Binds each exception to the rule it touched and to the record that raised it, so an exception arrives with its reason attached.

Names

Says what no rule in your policy covers, so a gap in the policy reads as a gap rather than as adherence. Where an activity record cannot be read or does not exist, it reports that as unknown and routes it to the named accountable owner, never treating it as adherence.

Human gate

Every exception is held for the named accountable owner to characterise, because whether an exception is a violation is that person's call and a change to the policy is theirs. Nothing is characterised, determined or rewritten here, and the comparison can be run by hand at any point without the agent, because the policies and the records are yours.

Tracks

Shows which exceptions are still waiting on an owner's answer, and for how long.

Reports

Keeps the comparison, so the next period starts from the record.

Results

What changes when the policy is checked against what happens

Adherence you can observe

The rules you wrote are compared against activity continuously, so the answer exists before anyone asks.

Each exception carries its rule

Each one is recorded against the rule it touched and the record that raised it.

Uncovered activity gets flagged

Activity that no rule covers is flagged as uncovered rather than passed over.

Where this fits

Workflow / Automate a Workflow

Tier 1 through the Automate a Workflow door: one process end to end, from the policies you wrote to an exception a person characterises. Whether an exception is a violation is your judgement, nothing here is a statement about your compliance state, and no policy is written or interpreted here. It extends toward a compliance coordinator role as a possible next step rather than a promised state, the entry on when not to automate owns the vocabulary for work that should stay human, and How It Works shows how the gates are built.

Tier 1 / Prove

How It Works

Questions, answered

No. Every exception is held for the named accountable owner to characterise, the gate is closed by default, and the workflow makes no determination about a violation, about your compliance state or about the law. The policies and the records stay in your systems, so the comparison can be run by hand at any point without the agent, and How It Works shows how that authority is set.

No. That one catches what your systems produce, a missed hand-off, a record that disagrees across systems, a threshold breach, and it has its own page. This one compares activity against a policy you wrote and binds each exception to the rule it touched, and whether that is a violation is held for a person. Invoice exceptions, and the answer library for inbound security questionnaires, are each a separate subject.
