GIA Governance Intelligence Automation

Enterprise AI governance through the Model Context Protocol.

GIA is a production governance engine that gives AI agents enforceable decision controls, compliance scoring, immutable audit chains, and human-in-the-loop gates. Built for organizations operating under NIST, FedRAMP, CMMC, EU AI Act, and SOC 2 requirements.

29 MCP tools. One integration point. Integrates with any MCP-compatible agent, framework, or client.

Quick Start

The governance engine runs fully embedded — no API key, no external dependency.

npx gia-mcp-server

Or install globally:

npm install -g gia-mcp-server
gia-mcp-server

All 29 tools are available immediately. By default the engine runs in-memory. Add a Postgres connection string for persistent audit trails:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... npx gia-mcp-server

MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (stdio transport):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gia-governance": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gia-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP (Remote)

A hosted endpoint is available for frameworks that prefer HTTP transport:

Requires GIA_API_KEY — contact aceadvising.com for access.

Architecture

GIA enforces governance through three layers:

Decision Controls — MAI classification gates side effects and high-impact actions
Step Hooks — Workflow progression control at each pipeline stage
Kernel Hooks — Resource control at the LLM boundary, including sub-agents

Every governance action is recorded in a SHA-256 hash-chained audit ledger that can be independently verified.

Compliance Coverage

NIST AI RMF — Risk management framework mapping
EU AI Act — Risk tier assessment and control mapping
ISO 42001 — AI management system alignment
NIST 800-53 — Federal security control mapping
CMMC 2.0 — DoD cybersecurity maturity
FedRAMP — Federal cloud authorization
SOC 2 — Service organization controls

About

Built by Advanced Consulting Experts (ACE) — a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

GIA was designed by William J. Storey III, a 17-year Information System Security Officer with experience across DoD contracts and U.S. Army Ranger Battalion operations. The same discipline applied to securing classified systems now governs AI agent workforces.
