Empathic Gateway
A protocol-native proxy for Postgres and MongoDB that enables AI agents and human users to access enterprise data safely, with real-time visibility and dynamic, task-scoped access control.
Key Capabilities
Drop-in Deployment
No code changes, no SDKs, no schema rewrites. Just update your connection string to route through the Gateway.
Native Protocol Support
Fully compatible with the Postgres and Mongo wire protocols — works seamlessly with existing applications, analytics tools, and AI agents.
Task-Based Access Control
Enforce fine-grained access policies that adapt dynamically to the task being performed — whether issued by a user or generated by an agent.
Semantic Observability
Capture and analyze the full query stream in real time, giving platform and security teams visibility into what data is accessed, how it's used, and where policy enforcement may be needed.
Policy Scaffolding & Simulation
Observe live access patterns and automatically suggest scoped policies that can be reviewed, enforced, or simulated in dry-run mode.
Agent-Ready by Design
Built for AI-native workflows. Supports ephemeral identity, delegated task flows, and runtime privilege escalation — safely and observably.
What You Get on Day One
A lightweight, stateless proxy you can deploy in front of your existing Postgres or Mongo instance.
A CLI or control API to register databases, define initial policies, and inspect observability logs.
Policy enforcement logic that evaluates permissions per request — not per user — enabling dynamic delegation, expiration, and escalation patterns.
A built-in audit log and real-time telemetry stream for integration with your SIEM or monitoring stack.
How It Fits
Empathic Gateway is typically deployed in front of production data systems where AI agents or embedded copilots require controlled, auditable access to sensitive data.
