Daybreak Labs builds agentic workforces on a foundation of compliance and governance, so the people who run regulated operations can trust what the agents do, prove it to an auditor, and actually put them to work. Lightwork is the product. Self-hosted, air-gapped, or hosted by Daybreak Labs: log in and go.
In regulated work the blocker isn't capability. It's three questions no one can answer, so the project never leaves the pilot.
No tamper-evident record of the actions an agent took.
No policy-enforced egress control, a black box, or a framework you secure yourself.
No proof it's improving instead of quietly drifting.
Every action an agent takes (every tool call, every payment, every write) passes through one gate before it happens. Then it lands where a human signs off.
Runs in your VPC, fully air-gapped, or on infrastructure Daybreak Labs hosts for you, with the same gates, the same record, and your own keys either way.
Cortex is the memory the whole workforce runs on: your documents and data, the decisions people made, the lessons the agents learned, and the Operating Record of everything that happened. Every agent, yours or a vendor's, reads from it and writes to it under audit. It is tenant-exact, encrypted with your keys, and never pooled across customers. Your company gets smarter; nobody else gets your company.
Fig. 02 · Cortex. Every node is something your company knows; every flash is an agent adding to it, signed.
Your documents, systems of record and public primary sources, retrieved and cited, so an answer is grounded in what your company actually knows.
The workforce mines its own failures into guidance, proves the lift on held-out work, ships it as a watched canary, and retires it if it stops paying off.
Tenant-exact, encrypted with your own keys, every read audited. Nothing is learned across customers: no hivemind, no telemetry, no pooled data.
Capability tokens, a policy engine, an egress lock, and a signed, hash-chained audit log, verifiable offline. Deep infrastructure, not a prompt over an API.
Every change to the workforce is proven on work it hasn't seen before it ships, watched after release, and reversible. Even the judge that scores improvement is held to a locked benchmark. Every change audited.
Turnkey departments of specialist agents across finance, tax, legal, privacy, GRC, operations and more, each with a fixed job, least-privilege tools, and a human who signs off. Switch them on; don't prompt-engineer them.
Six governance invariants (no drafting agent can reach a state-mutating tool, no child can out-scope its parent, hard refusals can't be stripped, budget caps can't be silently exceeded) are machine-checked across every specialist pack with a non-vacuous fault-injection control, property-fuzzed thousands of times per build.
Workflow-based compliance platforms give a compliance team forms, workflows and a dashboard, and leave the work to the team. Autonomous Compliance is the same six suites rebuilt as an agentic workforce: the DSARs get fulfilled, the vendor questionnaires get answered, the AI inventory keeps itself current, and every action lands in the Operating Record where a human signs off.
AI-system inventory and risk tiering fed by your registries and fleets, EU AI Act and ISO 42001 mappings, serious-incident reporting, review and remediation lifecycle.
DSAR intake to fulfilment across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce and ServiceNow, assessments, notice publication, encrypted document custody.
Consent records and bulk subject actions, custom indexes and exports, web publish settings, Global Privacy Control opt-out.
Control frameworks, governed evidence collection and analysis, a no-code GRC studio for objects, forms, rules, collectors and report views.
Vendor inventory, questionnaires with agent-proposed answers under independent review, contract and engagement lifecycle, executive reporting.
Data inventory and classification, purpose policies, and a recorded decision for every use.
Offshore, nearshore, reshore, onshore. Each one moved work to a place. Autonomous Shoring moves a whole function to a governed agentic workforce, in your environment or ours, with a transition plan, service levels, and a record an auditor can verify. It is the offering for the work you would otherwise send to a BPO, and it replaces that decision instead of relocating it.
Offshoring traded control for cost, which is why reshoring happened. Policy is bound to every action and the record is yours, so the cost case and the control case finally point the same way.
The knowledge transfer a BPO takes months to run: watch a person do the job, and the agent factory synthesizes the governed pack that does it, clamped to a least-privilege envelope and approved by a human before it runs.
A Shoring P&L from real completed work: agent cost against your own fully-loaded human rate, throughput per department, every deliverable traceable in the Operating Record.
The offering, the functions we shore first, and how an engagement runs →
The platform, the brain it runs on, the specialist workforce, a governance plane for the agents you didn't build, bespoke builds for your operation, and two ways to move a whole function onto all of it.
The governed runtime. Every agent action is checked for scope, policy, safety and budget before it runs, then signed into a tamper-evident record. Self-hosted, air-gapped, or hosted by Daybreak Labs.

What we build →A single step signs an offline-verifiable evidence bundle. A live golden path refuses the dangerous action and leaves a receipt for every decision.
GATE and BENCH are our own internal release-gate results, not third-party certification, and imply no contractual SLA. Methodology: property-fuzzed governance invariants with a non-vacuity control, and held-out-work evaluation with a placebo control — detail on the Security page.
Every control your reviewers ask about maps to a mechanism in the platform, not a promise on a slide.
| What your reviewers require | The mechanism |
|---|---|
| Your data stays inside your boundary | Self-host or air-gap in your VPC or fully offline, or run on Daybreak-hosted infrastructure with tenant isolation and your own keys (KMS / BYOK). |
| Egress locked by policy | Egress lock (Enterprise mode): outbound traffic is allow-listed per tenant, model calls and HTTP tools alike, so a successful prompt injection still can't move data out that way. Pair with a network egress firewall to also cover raw-shell paths. |
| Least privilege, per action | Capability tokens (attenuate-only): an agent narrows its rights, never widens. |
| Bounded blast radius | Sandbox, network-off by default · hard budget caps on tokens, dollars, wall-clock, and tools. |
| A provable, tamper-evident record | Signed, hash-chained audit: tamper-evident and verifiable offline. |
The claims on this site are checked by gates in our own build. A few of the instruments behind them.
We're working with a small number of design partners in regulated industries. If that's you, let's scope one workflow, or one whole function.
