apartment Public sector

Runtime authority for citizen-facing AI.

When a citizen complaint, an ICO referral, a parliamentary question or a judicial-review case asks who or what acted, on whose authority, under what oversight — KYE Protocol™ produces a contemporaneous, signed, replayable record. Not assembled by counsel after the FOI request. Sealed at the moment the AI shaped the decision.

KYE Protocol™ for the public sector, step by step

Demo data

You learn: What happens at each step. You can: Step through it.

  1. Step 1 of 5

    KYE Protocol™

    Sovereign cloud

    UK G-Cloud, EU GAIA-X, Crown Hosting, or the customer's own data-centre / OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE-eligible region.

  2. Step 2 of 5

    KYE Protocol™

    Customer KMS

    signing keys live in the department's HSM; KYE™ never has access.

  3. Step 3 of 5

    KYE Protocol™

    Open verifier

    any oversight body (NAO, PHSO, ICO, equivalent) can replay an Evidence Pack™ using only the publisher's JWKS — no vendor dependency in the audit path.

  4. Step 4 of 5

    KYE Protocol™

    Right-to-erasure + statutory exemptions

    PII referenced by URN, not embedded; redaction obligations are first-class lifecycle states.

  5. Step 5 of 5

    KYE Protocol™

    Apache 2.0 schemas + vocabulary

    the proof formats are open. Departmental procurement evaluates the protocol, not just the vendor.

Public-sector AI accountability frameworks

The contemporaneous-record requirement, by reference.

UK ATRS (Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard)

Cabinet Office + CDDO. The KYE™ Evidence Pack™ populates the ATRS transparency record from the runtime decision, not from a quarterly catalogue refresh.

AI Playbook for the UK Government + DSIT AI Assurance

DSIT / CDDO / i.AI. The AI Playbook accountability / human-control / secure-use principles and the DSIT AI Assurance six mechanisms map to named-authority, sign-off, and signed Evidence Packs™.

OECD AI Principles

Inclusive growth · human-centred values · transparency · robustness · accountability. Signed Evidence Pack™ per decision satisfies the accountability and traceability principles end-to-end.

NIST AI RMF 1.0

Govern, Map, Measure, Manage. The Measure + Manage functions map directly to KYE™ runtime-evidence + revocation primitives.

UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025

Automated-decision provisions + Information Commissioner powers + cross-government data-sharing regime. KYE™ records keep the data-use trail contemporaneous.

NHS DSPT + DCB 0129 / 0160

For public-sector health bodies. KYE™ binds the clinical-safety case to the runtime decision; see clinical AI.

FOI / Subject-access compatibility

Evidence Packs™ structured to satisfy FOI + DSAR requests: replayable, redactable where statutory exemptions apply, signed end-to-end.

Public-sector deployment

Sovereign cloud, citizen-held privacy, parliamentary-grade audit.

  • Sovereign cloud — UK G-Cloud, EU GAIA-X, Crown Hosting, or the customer's own data-centre / OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE-eligible region.
  • Customer KMS — signing keys live in the department's HSM; KYE™ never has access.
  • Open verifier — any oversight body (NAO, PHSO, ICO, equivalent) can replay an Evidence Pack™ using only the publisher's JWKS — no vendor dependency in the audit path.
  • Right-to-erasure + statutory exemptions — PII referenced by URN, not embedded; redaction obligations are first-class lifecycle states.
  • Apache 2.0 schemas + vocabulary — the proof formats are open. Departmental procurement evaluates the protocol, not just the vendor.

Public-sector pilot

Shadow first. ATRS records before any enforcement.

Public-sector pilots begin in shadow mode — KYE™ observes one delegated-action workflow and produces ATRS-aligned signed Evidence Packs™ without blocking production. After the evaluation window, the department chooses which Guards to promote to enforce.

Independent — no government affiliation. KYE Protocol™ is an independent protocol and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or part of any government, regulator, or official “Sovereign AI” programme. References to regulators and frameworks describe the requirements KYE™ helps you evidence — not any official relationship.
