DACSA: Data Authorization Controls for Securing Agentic AI Systems
Kathleen Goeschel, Ph.D.
Agentic AI systems are being deployed across enterprise environments at an unprecedented pace. The authorization models governing these systems were designed for a fundamentally different world — one where behavior was deterministic, actions were bounded, and controlling what a system could do was sufficient to control the risk it posed. This paper introduces DACSA, a model that extends enforcement beyond the authorization boundary to the data layer, operating on four pillars: sensitivity classification, lineage tracking, delta inspection, and output-bound enforcement.
