## What It Does

- **Centralised Authentication**

## Control and Audit

- **Guardrails**: Runs inside VectorMind's guardrails. An always-on evaluation layer checks retrieval accuracy, guardrail compliance and citation integrity across workflows.
- **Where a person decides**: Agents built in Praxis can pause for a person's approval, then continue with full context.
- **What gets logged**: Full audit trail, included on every line.

Included on every line: Tenant isolation, Full audit trail, POPIA and GDPR, Model choice. Praxis is the agent framework in VectorMind. Agents plan, call tools and validate their results, and every step is logged with its tool inputs and outputs.

## Where It Runs

- **Platform**: Cloud, private cloud or sovereign on-premise environments, with tenant isolation.
- **POPIA**: CohesionX platforms never train on your sensitive information, and follow strict access controls, encryption and compliance protocols, including POPIA and GDPR.
