Building trust into every stage of enterprise AI.
NovaLex develops software that helps organizations adopt AI with confidence by securing the information, decisions and actions that matter most. Our products work independently or together to provide practical governance across the AI lifecycle, enabling organizations to deploy AI securely, responsibly and at scale.
SafePaste
Explainable, on-device sanitization for organizations handling sensitive information.
The Problem SafePaste Solves
Teams increasingly rely on AI assistants to review, summarize, draft and analyse documents. But using these tools can expose client information, personal data, case details, financial identifiers and other confidential information to external AI providers.
Manual redaction is slow, inconsistent and impractical for everyday use. It interrupts workflows, creates room for human error and becomes virtually impossible to perform consistently across large volumes of documents. As organizations increase their use of AI, manual sanitization simply cannot scale.
What SafePaste Does
SafePaste detects sensitive information in text and documents and replaces it with clear, consistent placeholder tokens before the content leaves the user's device. Whether processing a single contract or thousands of documents in bulk, SafePaste performs sanitization automatically in milliseconds without compromising consistency or explainability.
It uses a deterministic rules-based engine rather than a large language model. This means the same input produces the same output, every replacement can be traced and explained, and the system does not hallucinate.
Unlike generic masking tools, SafePaste preserves meaning and context. In a legal document, for example, a client, opposing party, judge, witness or lawyer can receive a role-aware token that remains consistent throughout the document. The sanitized content therefore remains readable, structured and useful for downstream AI processing.

Sanitize
SafePaste identifies and tokenizes sensitive information locally, before it leaves the user's device.
Enterprise-Ready by Design
SafePaste is designed to fit naturally into the way organizations already work. Whether sanitizing copied text, Word documents, PDFs, scanned images or entire document collections, SafePaste applies the same deterministic, explainable sanitization before information reaches an AI system. Built-in OCR enables SafePaste to process image-based documents without requiring separate OCR software, while batch processing allows hundreds or thousands of files to be sanitized automatically. SafePaste can also be embedded directly into automated workflows, applications and AI pipelines, ensuring sensitive information is protected before every AI interaction.
Core Capabilities

Ala
The authorization layer for AI agents.
The Problem Ala Solves
AI agents are moving beyond recommendations and beginning to call APIs, initiate payments and transfers, issue refunds, approve requests and interact directly with operational systems.
Traditional monitoring explains what happened after an action has already occurred. Basic authorization may confirm that an agent is permitted to access a tool, but not whether a specific action is appropriate in the current context, within its mandate or under the applicable constraints.
For consequential actions, after-the-fact monitoring and access-based authorization are too late and too limited.
What Ala Does
Independent, pre-execution authorization for AI agents performing consequential actions, ensuring every action is evaluated before it is executed.
Ala sits outside the AI agent and independently evaluates every proposed action against the organization's declared intent, applicable policies and live operational constraints before execution.
It returns one of four deterministic outcomes: ALLOW, BLOCK, LIMIT or ESCALATE. The action proceeds only on the basis of that decision.
The system proposing the action is therefore not the system authorizing it. This separation establishes an independent control point between AI intent and real-world execution, ensuring consequential actions are governed before they occur.
Authorization Outcomes
- ALLOW – The proposed action is consistent with the declared intent and complies with all applicable policies and operational constraints.
- BLOCK – The proposed action violates a policy, involves an unapproved counterparty or falls outside the authorized mandate.
- LIMIT – The proposed action is permitted in principle but exceeds an authorized threshold. Ala returns a constrained version of the action that may be executed.
- ESCALATE – Additional information, clarification or human authorization is required before the action can proceed.
How Ala Works
Step 01 / 06
Map what the agent can do
Observe
A lightweight integration captures relevant interactions between the AI agent, models, APIs and connected services to map the actions the agent can perform and the associated risks.
Core Capabilities
Independent Authorization
- Pre-execution authorization rather than after-the-fact monitoring.
- Independent decision-making outside the AI agent's own process and trust boundary.
- Deterministic, low-latency authorization for consequential actions.
Policy-Driven Decision Engine
- Decisions grounded in declared intent, organizational policies, current state and live operational constraints.
- Consistent authorization outcomes for identical inputs and context.
- Support for configurable approval thresholds, mandates, counterparties and operational limits.
Human Oversight
- Human-in-the-loop escalation for ambiguous, incomplete or high-risk actions.
- Operator console for approving, rejecting or modifying escalated actions.
- Recorded reasoning for every human authorization decision.
Governance & Audit
- Replayable and exportable decision records showing why actions were allowed, blocked, limited or escalated.
- Complete audit trails supporting governance, investigations and regulatory compliance.
- Centralized management of authorization policies and decision rules.
Enterprise Deployment
- Phased deployment model: Observe, Shadow, Enforce and Autonomy, without requiring re-integration at each stage.
- Deploy alongside existing AI agents, applications and operational systems with minimal disruption.
Typical Use Cases
Trading Firms
Govern AI-assisted trading by ensuring proposed trades comply with investment mandates, risk limits, approved instruments and operational constraints before execution.
Treasury & Payments
Authorize AI-initiated payments, transfers and treasury operations before funds are moved.
Banking & Financial Services
Govern AI-assisted financial operations, payment workflows and transaction execution against organizational policies and operational constraints.
Procurement
Control AI-generated purchase orders, supplier onboarding and vendor payments before execution.
Insurance
Authorize AI-assisted claim settlements, refunds and other consequential operational decisions.
Enterprise Operations
Govern AI agents interacting with ERP, CRM, HR and other operational systems before they perform consequential actions.
Example Authorization Outcomes
- ALLOW – An AI agent proposes a payment to an approved vendor within the authorized spending limit.
- LIMIT – A payment exceeds the authorized threshold, so Ala returns a constrained version of the action within the permitted limit.
- BLOCK – A transfer is directed to an unknown or unapproved counterparty.
- ESCALATE – An action requires additional information, invoice verification or human authorization before it can proceed.
- AUDIT – Every automated and human authorization decision is recorded for governance, investigation and customer assurance.

How SafePaste and Ala Work Together
SafePaste protects what AI can access by sanitizing sensitive information before it reaches AI systems. Ala governs what AI can do by independently authorizing consequential actions before they are executed. Together, they secure the two most critical control points of enterprise AI: information access and real-world execution. Organizations can adopt either product independently or combine them to build a comprehensive governance layer that enables AI to be deployed securely, responsibly and at scale.
