Governance Enforcement Infrastructure
Our Thesis

AI Has an Execution Trust Problem

National security, financial stability, urban infrastructure, and energy systems increasingly depend on AI systems that operate beyond human-speed oversight. Every safety-critical industry — aviation, nuclear, space systems, military operations — built an operating system layer to enforce governance at operational speed. AI is the first domain deploying at global scale without one.

We built Claviger to close that gap. Not as another compliance tool, but as execution infrastructure — an operating system layer that sits between AI agents and the critical infrastructure they operate within. Every agent is authenticated. Every data set is hashed and certified. Every governance decision is anchored to the hardware that processed it. This is the operating system that AI governance has been missing.

The AAICE White Paper — published under the Alabama AI Center of Excellence, authored by Steven Jasmin, drawing on 101 source references across 17 categories of literature — establishes the convergence thesis: NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and the DoD RAI Strategy were all developed independently, yet they are converging toward the same architectural requirements. Five dimensions of convergence. Four authority primitives. A five-level governance maturity model. Claviger.AI OS is the implementation of that convergence.

Operational DNA

Dual-Use. Commercial First.

Claviger is a dual-use, commercial-first technology company — born from GIS QSP, a US cyber defense technology company building post-quantum data security infrastructure. Our products are designed for enterprise and commercial deployment first, with the rigor and assurance standards required by defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure operators built in from the ground up.

GIS QSP Heritage: Our parent company's leadership brings experience from In-Q-Tel (the CIA's venture arm), CIA/NSA advisory partnerships, and executive roles at the companies that pioneered data loss prevention and encryption governance — Vormetric (now Thales), PKWare, and SmartCrypt. GIS QSP's advisory board includes retired US Army Cyber Command generals, former CIA/DIA CTOs, and missile defense architects. That intelligence community DNA is embedded in Claviger.

First Spin-Out — EntropiQ: GIS QSP's first technology spin-out tackled the entropy crisis — the critical vulnerability in the randomness that all encryption depends on. EntropiQ delivers quantum-safe entropy-as-a-service with hardware attestation, and its resident agent creates the instrumentation surface that Claviger's governance enforcement operates through.

Second Spin-Out — Claviger.AI: Where GIS QSP secures the hardware foundation and EntropiQ secures the cryptographic foundation, Claviger.AI secures the governance layer. The same principle drives all three: when compliance is not optional, documentation fails. You need enforcement. You need cryptographic proof. You need systems designed from the ground up for zero tolerance of policy violations.

Leadership

Brought Together to Solve This Problem

Executive Chairman & Founder
Steven Jasmin
Founder and portfolio architect across the GIS ecosystem. Author of the AAICE White Paper: AI Governance as Infrastructure — a 100+ page comparative framework analysis with 101 source references documenting the convergence of AI governance toward operational infrastructure. 20+ years C-level experience spanning investment banking (FINRA-registered) and Title 50 cyber operations. Provides strategic oversight across GIS QSP (hardware trust), EntropiQ (quantum-safe entropy), and Claviger.AI (governance enforcement), ensuring the integrated ecosystem delivers mission-critical security infrastructure from silicon to governance layer.
Co-Founder & CEO, EntropiQ
Joe Faxlanger
Cyber defense technology leader with 30 years of experience translating advanced capabilities into economically viable programs. Worked closely with In-Q-Tel and CTOs at the CIA on multiple programs, enabling rapid adoption of cutting-edge technologies from partners including Palantir and Parabon. Developed advanced capabilities for the US Intelligence Community at Vormetric (subsequently Lumen, now Thales). Developed the product vision for the SmartCrypt platform at PKWare, resulting in a successful exit through Thompson Street Financial Partners. Deep expertise in cybersecurity, innovation, private/public sector partnerships, and procurement.

Ecosystem

A Dual-Use, Commercial-First Ecosystem

GIS Quantum Security Platform (GIS QSP) is the parent company — a US cyber defense technology company delivering integrated, post-quantum data security infrastructure. GIS QSP provides the physical hardware foundation, cryptographic root of trust, and appliance-based platform upon which the entire ecosystem operates. Its product hierarchy — from enterprise-scale data discovery and classification to hardware security modules with NIST post-quantum algorithm compliance — consolidates the fragmented security stacks that plague modern enterprises into a single pane of glass. GIS QSP's leadership draws from In-Q-Tel, CIA/NSA advisory roles, and critical infrastructure security companies including Vormetric (now Thales) and PKWare/SmartCrypt. Claviger.AI is GIS QSP's second technology spin-out.

EntropiQ was GIS QSP's first spin-out — founded to solve the entropy crisis in cryptography. EntropiQ delivers enterprise-grade, quantum-safe entropy-as-a-service (QEaaS), addressing the critical vulnerability at the foundation of all encryption: the quality of randomness upon which every cryptographic operation depends. EntropiQ's resident agent installs directly into client cryptographic infrastructure, providing FIPS-compliant entropy generation that is independently auditable with hardware attestation. EntropiQ creates the instrumentation surface that enables Claviger's downstream governance enforcement.

Together, these three entities form an integrated ecosystem: hardware trust and post-quantum security infrastructure (GIS QSP), quantum-safe cryptographic entropy (EntropiQ), and AI governance enforcement (Claviger.AI). Each layer reinforces the others — GIS QSP's hardware anchors EntropiQ's entropy validation and Claviger's governance certificates, while EntropiQ's resident agents create the instrumentation surface for Claviger's real-time enforcement. Mission-critical infrastructure built for mission-critical problems.
