About Kavach
Kavach is an open governance & control plane for AI systems, created & maintained by Bhanuj .
AI systems are moving from answering questions to taking actions. They call tools, change records, trigger workflows and make decisions across organizational boundaries. The infrastructure for running these systems is advancing quickly; the infrastructure for governing them is not.
Most teams end up assembling governance from scattered prompts, application checks, provider settings and operational conventions. That creates a gap between what a system is allowed to do and what anyone can later prove it did. It also makes policy difficult to change without rewriting the applications around it.
Kavach exists to make that boundary explicit. It provides a shared place for policy, authorization, evaluation and audit evidence so AI systems can remain flexible while their important decisions stay controlled, explainable and operationally owned.
Governance should outlive a model provider, framework or infrastructure choice.
The same state and policy should produce the same decision, every time.
A control plane should be understandable, deployable and maintainable by a small team.
Interfaces, policies and responsibilities should be visible rather than inferred.
Evidence is part of the system’s normal operation, not an afterthought for incidents.
Decisions and boundaries belong in a shared control plane, close to where work is governed.
Bhanuj is a Principal Engineer focused on AI platforms, governance systems and cloud architecture. Kavach reflects years of building production data and AI platforms where governance, auditability and operational ownership became recurring challenges.
Kavach is developed in the open. Read the code, suggest an improvement or help shape what comes next.
