Government agencies, defense contractors, and public sector technology platforms operate under constraints that commercial access control systems were never designed to satisfy.
Hexarch provides a control plane for environments where access authority must be explicit, defensible, and traceable—not just logged.
The Problem
Public sector systems face access control challenges that exceed the capabilities of standard tooling:
Oversight requires authority provenance, not just logs
Inspectors general and oversight bodies demand evidence of who authorized access, when, and under what terms.
Clearance-based access with time limits
Access tied to clearance status, project duration, or contract terms must expire automatically when conditions change.
Separation of concerns between approval and enforcement
Policy decisions must remain distinct from technical enforcement, with clear audit trails bridging both.
Evidence must survive organizational change
Access decisions made years ago must be reconstructible even if personnel, contractors, and systems have changed.
These are not feature requests—they are operational requirements for systems under public scrutiny.
How Hexarch Helps
Hexarch treats access as governed authority with immutable provenance, not as configuration state.
Authority Records with Full Provenance
Every access grant records who approved it, under what policy, and for what duration. These records are immutable and cryptographically verifiable.
Time-Bound Access Tied to Conditions
Access can be scoped to project timelines, clearance validity, or contract terms. When conditions expire, access is revoked automatically—no manual intervention required.
Policy Separation from Enforcement
Authorization workflows remain distinct from runtime enforcement layers. Policy changes propagate to enforcement automatically, with audit events at every transition.
Oversight-Ready Evidence
Audit trails capture intent, not just events. Inspectors can trace any access grant back to its approval, policy basis, and authorizing individual—years after the fact.
The result: access control that survives scrutiny.
Typical Use Cases
Hexarch is designed for environments where access authority is a matter of public trust:
Classified systems and secure enclaves
Enforce access tied to clearance levels, need-to-know, and project duration with immutable audit trails.
Public data platforms and citizen services
Manage access to sensitive citizen data with approval workflows and provenance suitable for FOIA requests.
Contractor and vendor access
Grant time-bound access to contractors aligned with contract terms, with automatic revocation at end-of-contract.
Inter-agency data sharing
Enforce agreements between agencies with audit records that satisfy both sides' compliance requirements.
Why This Matters
Public sector systems are judged not only on security, but on accountability. Access decisions made today must be defensible years from now, under conditions the original implementers cannot predict.
Hexarch shifts accountability from documentation that might exist to evidence that always exists.
Hexarch is built for public sector environments where access must be provable, time-bound, and oversight-ready—not just compliant.
