What we do

Second line’s North Star for managing AI risk

A loxodrome is a constant compass bearing for navigation. We tell you the day your AI veers off it.

The Loxodrome Controls screen: 204 objectives in scope, with each test showing its population, how many records were evaluated, exceptions raised, and whether the control was effective.

The problem

Sample-based testing doesn’t work for AI

It checks a slice of decisions and assumes the rest behave the same. AI decisions don’t.

It assumes the process behaves the same way every time. AI doesn’t.
“Point in time and sample based assurance methods [are] ill suited to probabilistic models that learn, adapt and degrade over time.”

“I spend a lot of time with the board talking about what QA missed because of sample size… it feels pretty archaic.”

“The AI governance work is front-loaded: framework, committee, approvals. There is no mechanism to prove a control worked after deployment.”

Loxodrome’s solution

Continuous control testing, purpose-built for AI systems

Other tools tell you what the AI did. Loxodrome tests whether your controls worked, on every decision, and raises a finding you can act on when one didn’t.

Testing

Your control library becomes a test suite, run daily against your existing AI logs. Testing confirms whether a named control operated on every decision in the period, versus monitoring which watches a model’s outputs.

Daily runs of one control test in August 2026: 1 of 24 failed. 24 August is Not met; 23, 22 and 21 August are Met.
Illustrative data

Exceptions

Where a control isn’t operating effectively, Loxodrome raises an exception against the named first-line control. The output is a finding you can act on, with the decision record and logs attached as support.

An exception’s evidence: recorded sign-off met on 618 of 618 decisions; review time not met, 3.2 second median against a 20 second floor; record integrity verified, sealed 24 August 2026 with its hash.

Evidence

Locate the evidence you need and show what it covers. Decision records and test results are sealed when produced and exported with a verification script, so an auditor can check them without needing to re-test.

Verify a sealed record: a record hash entered beside a Verify button.

Independent chain of custody

Trust in the first line isn’t evidence that the control operated

Every decision record and every test result is sealed when produced, outside the systems being tested. Your auditor can verify them without relying on the first line, the AI vendor, or Loxodrome.

01

The decision

What the AI actually did, written to the system of record. Inputs, model and version, tool calls, data accessed, the human review step, and the outcome. It has to be sealed at capture, because it cannot be reconstructed afterwards.

02

The test

What was checked, against which population, on what date, using which version of the test definition. A valid test result must be tied to a specific test version and a specific set of records.

The link between them

The decision and the test are hash-chained together, so the test result is bound to the exact records it examined. Your auditor can independently confirm that neither was altered afterwards.

Security and data

Built for regulated enterprises

Sensitive data remains in your custody

Customer data, prompts and model outputs stay in your environment, under your existing retention and access controls. Loxodrome holds cryptographic commitments only.

Independently verifiable

Internal audit, external assurers and regulators can verify our evidence directly, without relying on Loxodrome or the first line.

Tamper-evident by design

Every decision record is hash-chained at capture. Any later alteration, deletion or reordering is detectable.

No dependency in critical operations

Loxodrome operates outside the decision path. An interruption to our service cannot interrupt a customer outcome.
