Overview

As businesses connect more tools and systems, access control becomes harder. It is no longer enough to know who can log in. Teams also need to know what actions a person, agent, workflow, or API can perform.

Pailon classifies tools by their business impact and applies consistent controls before sensitive actions are authorized.


How Pailon governs it

Four outcomes for every action.

One consistent decision layer — whether the request comes from a person, a workflow, or an agent.

AllowLow-risk actions proceed automatically — and are still logged as evidence.
ReviewSensitive actions route to the right human, with full context, before they move.
Step-upHigher-risk actions require additional authentication or a signed authorization.
BlockOut-of-bounds actions are denied, and risky activity can be paused instantly.
