TrigGuard - Execution Authorization Infrastructure for AI Systems

Founder - TrigGuard

TrigGuard was founded by Mohamed Salem, a mechanical engineer based in Manchester.

The project originally began as an attempt to build technology that could help neurodivergent people navigate digital systems more safely. While building early prototypes, a deeper issue became clear: modern automated systems can execute real-world actions, but there is often no deterministic authorization layer controlling those actions before they occur.

Most existing systems focus on monitoring or policy configuration after the fact. TrigGuard focuses on authorization before execution.

The through-line from that early work to the current product is simple: people who are easily overloaded by unclear or high-stakes digital demands need systems that do not surprise them with irreversible effects. The same design instinct applies to organizations running AI: clarity, determinism, and a hard boundary before side effects are how you build trust on both the human and the systems side.

This insight led to the development of TrigGuard as execution authorization infrastructure for automated systems and AI agents.

Today the platform provides a deterministic runtime gate that evaluates execution requests and returns one of three outcomes:

PERMIT
DENY
SILENCE

Only PERMIT allows execution to proceed. Each decision is bound to policy and recorded as a cryptographically signed receipt. Technical reference: Protocol, Trust Center.
