# Cytra — full reference for language models

> EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 compliance, proven by how your AI actually runs. Cytra is built to govern AI and agent actions through a managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway (private beta) and to turn governed activity into audit-ready evidence — compliance as a record of how your AI runs, not a quarter-end document assembled by hand.

## What Cytra is

Cytra is an **AI-governance platform built on a managed MCP gateway**. The positioning is compliance-led: Cytra gets organizations to — and keeps them at — alignment with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001, then proves it. The mechanism is a managed MCP gateway (private beta) that governs AI and agent actions, plus a per-tenant, tamper-evident audit record that platform evidence is written into.

Cytra is **not** a cryptocurrency or trading platform, and it is **not** a standalone "bias-detection" tool. Any legacy docs describing it that way are incorrect.

## Honesty framing (load-bearing — do not contradict)

- Cytra keeps you **aligned and audit-ready, not certified.** It is the system of record + controls; it does not itself certify anyone, and it is not itself certified.
- Aligned **to** (not certified against) the EU AI Act / NIST AI RMF / ISO/IEC 42001.
- SOC 2 Type II and a HIPAA BAA are **in process** — not granted.
- The managed MCP gateway that produces the evidence is in **private beta / early access** — not GA. Do not imply live production infrastructure at scale.
- GTM is **sales-led** — there is no self-serve free trial; the primary CTA is "Request early access".
- Bias and fairness measurement runs on a schedule against **configured evaluation datasets** (synthetic sentinel datasets today, labeled as such) — not yet against customer production data.

## Core capabilities

- **Cross-framework control mapping** — one set of controls mapped once to the obligations of the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 (the `/framework` cross-walk; internally code-named "CARGO" = Cytra AI Regulatory and Governance Objectives, which is internal naming, not a novel framework and not Cytra's invention).
- **Managed MCP gateway (private beta)** — every AI/agent call routes through a per-tenant policy engine (prod-write blocks, IP allowlists, budget ceilings, approval gates, PII redaction) with an operator kill-switch; credentials are brokered (short-lived scoped tokens, raw keys stay vaulted) and tools run sandboxed (deny-by-default, hard timeout).
- **Tamper-evident, audit-ready evidence** — platform events (agent scan results, agent lifecycle changes, governance alerts, bias threshold breaches, report generation) land in a per-tenant SHA-256 hash-chained record protected by write-once (WORM) database triggers, with verification and export endpoints built for an outside party to check the chain without trusting Cytra.
- **Bias & fairness monitoring** — AIF360-aligned fairness metrics + drift detection run on a schedule against configured evaluation datasets (synthetic sentinel datasets today, labeled as such); threshold breaches append audit-trail entries, not just dashboard pings.
- **Bias-scan PDF reports** (rendered with pdf-lib); **organization workspaces** with role-based membership and per-tenant audit records. Slack governance alerting is coming soon (rolling out to early-access tenants; see /integrations).

## Deployment & architecture (the `/architecture` page)

- **Standalone compliance collector (early access)** — a lightweight process that runs inside the customer's environment, behind the firewall, **outbound-only** (no inbound ports, no VPN). It watches governed sources, keeps a signed local ledger, and anchors that ledger into the customer's per-tenant, tamper-evident hash chain through an outbound-only ingest endpoint. The managed gateway is **optional** — the audit layer is designed to run on its own.
- **Optional managed MCP gateway (private beta)** — adds per-call policy, credential brokering, and sandboxed execution so the evidence comes from actual AI runtime rather than periodic inspection. Gateway evidence is designed to land in the same per-tenant record.
- **Multi-tenant by design** — each tenant (organization) writes to its **own isolated, per-tenant SHA-256 hash chain**; an auditor verifies that tenant's chain with no cross-tenant mixing. Organizations have members with roles.
- **Collector enrollment** — provisioned with Cytra during early-access onboarding; there is no self-service enrollment console today.
- **Packaging** — a Docker image (early access). No other packaging formats ship today.
