Agentic AI (Nik)
The layer that turns external risk into defensible action.
Nik sits on top of Ryvlar's intelligence modules and continuously reasons over what it sees: surfaced assets, breaches, impersonation signals, and external chatter. It does not just alert. It links signals to your business, builds a decision path, and produces actions your team can explain and execute.
Guardrails by default. No destructive auto-actions without your approvals.
Pathfinder
The “last mile” layer: signal → evidence → decision → action.
Pathfinder is the operator view that prevents two failure modes: reacting to noise because it feels urgent, and missing real external risk because it looks ambiguous. It gives analysts a structured decision path with traceable evidence and a recommended next step, so your team can act quickly and defend the decision later.
What it builds
A decision path with explicit steps, not a vague “risk score”.
- • Linkage: why this is likely your asset or brand
- • Evidence: what was observed and when
- • Impact: what it could mean operationally
What it outputs
An action that fits workflows and approvals.
- • Recommend: ticket, notify, monitor, suppress
- • Assign: suggested owner / team
- • Timing: next forty-eight hours vs backlog
Why it matters
It makes decisions reviewable, not just fast.
- • “Because” text for leadership
- • Evidence attached to each step
- • A clear audit trail of who did what
A Pathfinder path looks like
1. Signal
New external finding detected
2. Linkage
Tied to your org / brand / domain
3. Impact
What could happen if ignored
4. Action
Next step + owner + timeline
How Nik operates (G.E.R.A)
G — Gather
Ryvlar collects external signals across your surface, brand, and breach context, then normalizes them into a single workspace view.
Output: raw evidence, timestamps, sources, confidence, and initial grouping.
E — Evaluate
Nik evaluates what the signal actually means by adding context: asset linkage, ownership hypotheses, impact, and whether it is likely your risk.
Output: a reasoned triage view, with “because” explanations and uncertainty preserved.
R — Respond
Nik produces operator-ready actions and routes them into the right workflow: notify, ticket, suppress noise, or escalate. Pathfinder is the interface where these decisions become explicit and usable.
Output: a prioritized queue with next steps, owners, and rationale.
A — Accountable
Nik does not claim certainty. It makes decisions accountable: evidence-linked, policy-bounded, and reviewable. Every action has a reason, an owner, and an audit trail.
Output: traceability for ops and leadership without overclaiming assurance.
What Nik can do
- • Build a defensible priority order from messy external signals.
- • Link signals to business context (domains, brands, services, vendors).
- • Produce Pathfinder decision paths: evidence → impact → recommended action.
- • Collapse repeats into one clean work item and suppress low-value noise.
- • Generate leadership-ready summaries without exposing sensitive raw sources.
What Nik won't do
- • Won't execute destructive actions without explicit approvals.
- • Won't invent certainty when evidence is weak or ambiguous.
- • Won't leak sensitive source data to unauthorized users.
- • Won't act outside your workspace scope, roles, and policies.
- • Won't create noise — it explains why an action is suggested.
Designed for modern digital-risk teams
External-first
Built to make sense of signals that are outside your network but still your risk.
Explainable
Every recommendation has a “because” so ops and leadership can trust and defend it.
Operator-friendly
Works with your workflows: tickets, Slack/Teams, email, and leadership reporting.
What a Nik session looks like
You • just now
Nik • responding
I will: (one) collect today's external signals, (two) link them to business assets and brands, (three) rank what matters for the next forty-eight hours, (four) generate a leadership summary, (five) send it to the requested recipients.
Recommendations will include evidence, confidence, and a recommended next step.
Nik • result
External posture — 19/12/2025
1. Executive view
You have 3 items requiring attention in the next 48 hours. One is brand-linked and one has unknown ownership.
2. Pathfinder decision path (summary)
- • Signal → evidence: what was observed, when, and by whom.
- • Evidence → linkage: why it maps to your org / brand / domain.
- • Linkage → impact: expected blast radius and urgency.
- • Impact → action: recommended workflow step and owner suggestion.
3. Fix in next 48h
- Confirm ownership for the newly observed external asset and assign an owner.
- Escalate the brand-linked signal to the right team for review / takedown workflow.
- Create a monitoring rule to suppress repeats and track recurrence.
Pathfinder view
A decision path your team can operate and defend.
Pathfinder is where Nik’s evaluation becomes usable for real teams. It does three things: it makes linkage explicit, keeps evidence attached to each step, and outputs a single recommended action that matches your workflow and approvals.
Evidence pack
Observations, timestamps, sources, and confidence preserved as evidence. No “trust me”.
Linkage and business context
Why this belongs to you: domains, brands, projects, vendors, and ownership hypotheses.
Recommendation, owner, and timing
One next step (ticket, notify, monitor, suppress), suggested owner, and whether it is a next-forty-eight-hours item or backlog.
Accountable trail
A reviewable chain of “what/why/who/when” so decisions hold up in incident review and leadership updates.
Why teams care
- • Fewer false escalations because noise gets suppressed with rationale.
- • Faster response because linkage and ownership are made explicit.
- • Cleaner reporting because every priority can be explained in one paragraph.
Demo mode: some actions (email/tickets) are simulated. Production runs under your roles, policies, and approvals.
