Standing credentials
Shared accounts, client secrets and broad permissions become long-lived assets that security teams must store, rotate, monitor and defend.
Governed enterprise execution
Runseal turns enterprise requests into controlled, deterministic actions. Every action is versioned, authorised, executed through constrained identities and recorded with the evidence needed for operations, security and audit.
Shared accounts, client secrets and broad permissions become long-lived assets that security teams must store, rotate, monitor and defend.
Scripts, flows and workflows implement the same business action differently, with inconsistent controls and unclear ownership.
Approvals, execution details, outcomes and lifecycle obligations are spread across systems or disappear entirely.
Runseal does not add another general-purpose automation tool. It creates a governed path for the enterprise actions that carry real operational risk.
The execution model
A user or trusted system requests an approved business outcome.
The action has a defined schema, permissions, risk tier, execution identity and lifecycle behaviour.
Runseal validates the caller, the context and any applicable approval requirements.
A deterministic worker performs only the defined action, through a managed identity with limited permissions.
The result, execution context, ownership and future lifecycle obligations remain traceable.
Delegated operations
Group companies often share one Microsoft tenant while retaining separate operational responsibilities, approval chains and ownership boundaries.
Native administrative roles rarely map cleanly to those organisational boundaries. Central IT must either perform every privileged action itself or delegate broader tenant permissions than local teams should receive.
Available today
Runseal runs a dedicated governed scope per company in the shared tenant, each with its own catalogue, inventory, execution identities and evidence. Every company operates its own actions under least-privilege, secret-free execution, and no local team holds tenant-wide administrative roles.
Delegate the action, not the privilege.
Runseal is building toward a single deployment where central IT delegates approved actions across group companies. A request would be evaluated by the caller's identity, company, assigned resources and applicable policy, then carried out by a constrained execution identity under centrally managed guardrails, still without granting the underlying Azure, Entra ID or Microsoft 365 administrative roles.

Runseal governance boundary
The constrained execution identity performs the action. No local user receives a Microsoft administrative role.
Shared Microsoft tenant
The model Runseal is building toward. Cross-company delegation in a single deployment is on the roadmap. Per-company isolation is available today.
Each company or business unit receives access only to the actions and resources assigned to it.
The group platform team defines action contracts, risk levels, approvals, lifecycle rules and execution identities.
Local users request approved outcomes without receiving standing administrative privilege in the shared tenant.
Every request records the company, requester, approver, execution identity, target resource and result.
The principle stays constant: separate the right to request an outcome from the privilege required to execute it.
Versioned enterprise verbs with defined inputs, permissions, risk and execution behaviour.
Explicit identities for callers and workloads, with no shared application credentials as the default.
Each worker receives only the access its defined actions require.
Created resources can carry ownership, review dates, expiry and a governed deprovisioning path from birth.
Every request and result produces an operational record that can support investigation, reconciliation and audit.
Runseal operates inside the Azure environment you already govern. It does not require a separate external automation control plane.
Not a workflow canvas. Existing ITSM and workflow tools can continue to coordinate processes.
Not a CMDB. Your enterprise CMDB may remain authoritative. Runseal maintains only the operational state required to govern its own actions.
Not an observability replacement. Existing monitoring platforms continue to handle metrics, logs and health.
Not an autonomous agent. Runseal executes defined enterprise actions. It does not give an AI model unrestricted access to infrastructure APIs.
Security
Zero Trust is not a label added to Runseal. It is expressed in who can request an action, which identity may execute it, what that identity can access and what evidence remains afterwards.
Sovereignty
Enterprise automation should not require an organisation to surrender operational control to another external platform.
Runseal is deployed into the customer's Azure tenant and operates under the customer's identity, networking, policy, logging and data-residency decisions.
Runseal gives organisations operational sovereignty over how privileged actions are authorised, executed and evidenced.
Runseal operates inside the Azure environment the customer already owns and governs.
Users authenticate through the customer's Entra ID. Workloads execute through identities governed within the customer tenant.
Requests, execution records and operational evidence remain subject to the customer's storage, access and retention policies.
Runseal does not require a separate third-party SaaS control plane to hold broad execution credentials for the customer environment.
The customer selects the Azure regions, logging destinations and storage locations appropriate to its regulatory and operational requirements.
Control remains where the action takes place.
Runseal supports operational sovereignty within the customer's chosen Microsoft cloud environment. It does not claim to replace the underlying cloud provider or eliminate dependencies on Microsoft Azure.
Where Runseal starts
Identity and enterprise application lifecycle.
The platform core is reusable. Customer-specific policies, integrations and domain actions are added without embedding one customer's operating model into the product.
Proven in production constraints
Runseal's architecture has been validated through a live enterprise automation implementation in a regulated environment. The reusable product core is deliberately separated from customer-specific integrations, processes and technical constraints.
Roadmap
AI systems can increasingly identify problems and propose actions. The harder question is how those recommendations become authorised changes in a production environment.
Runseal provides the deterministic execution foundation. The longer-term Provant roadmap from SPEX focuses on the governance layer above it. It evaluates context, policy, risk, approvals and human ownership before an action is allowed to proceed.
Provant is a roadmap direction, not current Runseal functionality.
Confirm the target process, the security boundaries and the deployment model.
Implement one use case with one or two governed actions inside a controlled customer environment.
Add reusable actions, integrations and lifecycle policies based on demonstrated value.
Developed and owned by SPEX
SPEX has spent ten years designing and operating complex automation, cloud and governance solutions for European enterprise environments. Runseal turns that experience into a reusable governed execution platform.
Runseal can help separate local operational autonomy from the standing privilege required to act inside the shared tenant.
