Compliance AI Agents with Human Oversight
AI Agents for Compliance
Build AI agents that monitor policies, incidents, risks and training, flag what needs attention, and wait for your approval before they change a record.
AI Agents That Support Your Compliance Team
Sentrient's AI agents take on the routine checking and follow-up that fills a compliance officer's week. You tell each agent what to watch, which modules it can access and when it should run. It works through your policies, registers and records, then flags gaps or proposes updates for your team to review.
Most Popular Compliance Agent Types
Each agent runs on the instructions you write, so you can shape it around your own compliance program. Common starting points include:
- Policy acknowledgement agent: finds staff who haven’t acknowledged a policy and creates follow-up tasks
- Incident triage agent: reviews new incident reports and flags missing details
- Risk register agent: checks risks and controls for overdue reviews
- Inspection follow-up agent: tracks actions raised during inspections
- Training compliance agent: monitors course completions and upcoming due dates
Every agent is fully configurable, so you can adapt it to your industry, sites and reporting needs.

Give Each Agent Clear Instructions
Write plain-English instructions that set the agent's goal, the compliance data it should review and the point where it should stop. The agent re-reads these instructions on every run, so it stays on task.
- Name each agent and give it a clear role
- Define the goal, data sources and stopping point
- Update instructions as your obligations change
Choose How Much the Agent Can Do on Its Own
Pick the run mode that suits the task. In Propose mode, the agent pauses before every change and waits for someone to approve or reject it. In Auto-apply mode, it commits changes within the permissions you've granted.
- Send every change for human approval with Propose mode
- Handle routine updates within set limits with Auto-apply mode
- Cap steps per run and runs per day
Control Exactly What Each Agent Can Access
Grant permissions module by module across Policies, Courses, Records, Incidents, Inspections, Registers, Risks and Controls. For each module, you decide whether the agent can read, search, add or update. Agents can't delete records.
- Set read, search, add and update access per module
- Limit agents to the compliance areas they need
- Keep delete access out of every agent’s reach
Ground Agents in Your Own Documents
Attach your policies, procedures and reference material as agent knowledge. The agent searches these documents during a run and refers back to them in its findings, so its output reflects how your organisation works.
- Attach policies and procedures as reference material
- Add reusable skills for specific compliance tasks
- Keep agent output consistent with your internal standards
Run Agents on Demand, on a Schedule or When Something Happens
Start an agent from chat, run it straight away, set it on a schedule, or trigger it when a module event occurs, such as a new incident report. You can stop any run at any time.
- Run agents on demand or on a set schedule
- Trigger agents from events in Sentrient modules
- Stop any run with one click
Keep a Full Audit Trail of Agent Activity
Every agent action is permission-checked and written to the audit log. Your team can review agent activity at any time and draw on it when preparing for internal reviews or audits.
- Check and log every agent action
- Review agent activity whenever you need to
- Support audit preparation with clear records
