Engage DAGF via Tradewinds and modernize authorization with an already proven solution.

Let's Chat

What is Dynamic Access Governance Framework (DAGF)?

DAGF is a turnkey access governance framework that wraps existing systems with modern, identity-aware Zero Trust authorization — without modifying application code.

It externalizes authorization decisions into a governed, auditable, and scalable policy layer while leaving legacy apps untouched.

Think of DAGF as:

A secure, policy-driven "authorization fabric" that sits in front of your legacy systems.

The Problem DAGF Solves

The Legacy Authorization Crisis

Federal systems are trapped by brittle, hard-coded authorization models:

⚠️Thousands of RBAC job codes and ACLs
🔒Database-embedded security logic no one understands
🚨Policy changes require risky deployments
📑Manual audits, spreadsheets, and tribal knowledge
❓Zero explainability when access decisions are questioned
🔗Inconsistent authorization across siloed applications

Rewriting legacy systems isn't feasible.

DAGF exists because incremental, zero-code modernization is the only path forward without wasting time and budget on high risk rewrites.

How It Works (High-Level Preview)

Separation of Planes (By Design)

Management Plane
  • Policy-as-code (Git-based)
  • Peer-reviewed changes
  • CI/CD gated deployments
Enforcement Plane (Hot Path)
  • PEP → PDP → Redis
  • Sub-15ms authorization decisions
  • No AI models on the live request path
Governance & Intelligence Plane (Warm Path)
  • Kafka-based log ingestion
  • Identity, device, and context enrichment
  • Audit-by-design evidence generation

⚡ Result:

Real-time enforcement stays fast and deterministic, while governance, analytics, and AI operate safely off-path.

AI-Augmented Governance (Safely Applied)

Advisory-First AI (Human in the Loop)

DAGF uses AI only for governance and analysis, never for live enforcement.

Pillar 1: Automated Safety
  • CI/CD policy linting
  • Reliability scoring for rules
  • Blocks over-permissive changes before deployment
Pillar 2: Intelligent Scalability
  • Mines existing logs to discover natural roles
  • Collapses thousands of ACLs into manageable ABAC/RBAC policies
  • Outputs proposals, not automatic enforcement
Pillar 3: Provable Trust
  • SHAP/LIME explainability
  • "Why" tables for every recommendation
  • Blast-radius and impact analysis for risk review

Why DAGF Is Different

We Deliver the Car, Not Just the Engine

Most solutions stop at a policy engine.

DAGF delivers the entire operational framework:

🛡️Enforcement
⚖️Governance
🔄CI/CD
🤖AI safety
📋Audit evidence
🚀Deployment patterns
🔒Federal-ready security posture
🔌Integration patterns
📊Real-time monitoring

This is why DAGF succeeds where DIY OPA, ReBAC graphs, and legacy XACML implementations stall.
