In financial services, authorization is where money moves — and where examiners look.
Banks, brokers, custodians, and fintechs run on the Microsoft/Azure stack and answer to regulators for every action a human, service, or AI agent takes. B5 Secure enforces authorization in-process, at the method that posts to the ledger, inside your own cloud — with the audit record captured where the action executes.
Edge decisions, hand-written enforcement, machine-speed agents.
Horizontal control planes decide identity at the edge and leave the method that moves money guarded by hand-written checks that drift and miss. Now AI agents act at machine speed, fan out into sub-agents, and reach payment and trading endpoints thousands of times an hour. The consequential question is no longer who logged in; it is whether this action, by this principal, on behalf of this human, is permitted right now — and whether it can be proven afterward.
The frameworks your reviewers hold you to — mapped to enforcement.
B5 does not replace your compliance program; it makes specific control objectives demonstrable at the call site.
| Framework | What it requires | How B5 enforces it |
|---|---|---|
| GLBA Safeguards Rule | Access controls and least privilege over customer financial information | Per-action [Permission] enforcement and scoped credentials at the method |
| SOX § 404 | Provable controls over financial reporting and segregation of duties | In-process audit capturing the action, the agent, and the originating human |
| PCI DSS 4.0 | Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know | Limit-data-returned defaults and record-/field-level authorization |
| FFIEC Authentication | Layered security and risk-based access for high-risk transactions | CAEP/SSF risk signals as live policy inputs with step-up at thresholds |
| NIST CSF / 800-53 | Continuous, least-privilege access control (AC family) | Deny-by-default enforcement bound to each protected method |
Financial-grade enforcement, inside your boundary.
Purpose-built for the regulated .NET institution, where horizontal platforms are necessarily generic.
Enforcement at the ledger
Authorization is bound to the method that posts the transaction, not an edge the action runs past — closing the decision-then-forgot-to-enforce gap.
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 cryptography
Signing keys in a single-tenant Azure Managed HSM with attestation proving provenance inside the hardware boundary.
Nothing leaves your boundary
No SaaS dependency and no authorization data replicated to a vendor store — B5 inherits your certified compliance perimeter.
Provable attribution
Every action logs the agent identity and the originating human at the execution point — the record an examiner actually needs.
Suspension on KYC / fraud / OFAC
Suspend a user, or a single operation on a single entity, on KYC, fraud, or OFAC signals, with revocation at the next call.
Agentic, governed
Agent-initiated transactions carry On-Behalf-Of scope enforced at the method, capped to a delegated ceiling.
What agentic enforcement looks like on the trading and payments floor.
Ceilinged agent transfers
A copilot drafts a payment for a banker; the OBO ceiling caps the amount and B5 refuses any call above it at the ledger method.
Read-only by default
Reconciliation agents hold accounts.read and nothing more — a leaked context cannot move an asset.
Machine-speed, still provable
Thousands of agent actions per hour, each attributable to a human at the execution point.
B5 is the in-app enforcement layer, alongside your stack.
Complements Entra, your fraud platform, and detection.
B5 does not replace your IdP, fraud engine, or detection stack — it is the in-process enforcement layer those systems assume your application provides. For a .NET-heavy regulated institution, B5 is the lightest path to provable, per-action enforcement without standing up a gateway or onboarding a new data-processing vendor. It runs inside the boundary your regulators already examine.
Enforcement at the methods that move money.
Bring your regulated .NET architecture to a B5 architect — we’ll map enforcement to the ledger and the Trust Center your reviewers will thank you for.
And when the examination is an AML one, the same evidence works twice: transaction monitoring flags what looks wrong, while per-request decision records prove what was actually permitted — the difference between an alert you investigate for a week and one you close with a query.
Regulated-grade enforcement, at the record.
Thirty minutes with a B5 engineer: your industry’s obligations, the B1–B5 pipeline, and a data-element authorization decision you can watch happen — with the evidence trail your examiners ask for.
