BlueUPZero Trust infrastructure for agentic AI in regulated industries
Identity, governance and compliance so banks and insurers can deploy AI agents without regulatory risk. No VPN. No network rebuild. Identity-first.

Agentic AI has changed the rules. Autonomous agents don't just answer questions: they act at machine speed, invoke tools, move data, and make decisions. But the infrastructure connecting them was designed for humans.
AI multiplies attack velocity
A compromised agent exfiltrates data before a human can react
Network perimeters no longer contain
VPNs and firewalls grant access to the entire network, not just what's needed
Regulation demands more controls
DORA, AI Act, AML require governance that traditional infra can't deliver
The "connectivity tax" slows innovation
Each new agent requires coordinating NAT, firewalls, VLANs, and approvals
In BlueUP's architecture, without a valid cryptographic identity, no data path exists. Services are dark by default. Identity and policy decide whether a connection can exist.
BlueUP isn't standalone products: it's an integrated platform where each layer reinforces the others.
Connectivity starts with identity, not the network.
Services have no public IP, don't respond to port scans and don't appear on Shodan: they only exist for authenticated identities whose policy matches. Every agent, service and person carries a verifiable Ed25519 cryptographic identity, and a data path is granted only when policy agrees; without that identity, there is no path. The substrate is OpenZiti, the open-source platform with encrypted tunnels and dark services, on which BlueUP, an official NetFoundry partner, offers self-hosted deployment or managed connectivity. Users work through BlueUP Connect, the desktop client that surfaces only their authorized services. See the technical architecture.
Regulatory compliance is built into the architecture by design, not bolted on afterwards.
BlueUPALM delivers banking-grade AML/DORA compliance across nine integrated modules: a screening engine with fuzzy matching against EU, OFAC and UN lists, a ten-state SEPBLAC legal workflow with automatic F19 generation, and DORA incident management with regulatory timers. ComplianceView adds continuous monitoring with 96 controls aligned to NIST, ISO 27001, DORA and FINOS, gathered by automated collectors. For a platform like this, DORA, AML, the AI Act and GDPR are architectural requirements, not add-ons.
Business logic and agents run on controlled infrastructure, with institutional-grade performance.
The BlueUP Core engine, written in Rust, runs multi-GAAP accounting (Sectoral, IFRS and Tax) at 162,000+ journals/sec, on a base of 10 crates and 191 tests. On that same infrastructure, AI agents operate under explicit governance: the MCP Gateway decides which tools each agent may invoke, by identity and policy; the LLM Gateway controls access to language models with human approval points for high-risk actions; and each agent is isolated at kernel level by a gVisor sandbox. More in the technical architecture.
The platform applies with different building blocks and priorities depending on the regulated industry:
BlueUPALM automates the complete regulatory compliance lifecycle, from transactional data ingestion to official supervisor communication.
ComplianceView continuously monitors your organization's regulatory compliance posture.
Our Zero Trust connectivity substrate is built on OpenZiti, the open-source platform developed by NetFoundry. As official partners, we offer both self-hosted deployment and managed connectivity.
