Approval Workflows
Human-in-the-loop gates before any consequential action executes
OrcaMonitor's approval workflow system ensures that no AI remediation, automation playbook, or sensitive configuration change executes without explicit human sign-off — creating a transparent, audited chain of custody for every operational decision.
Approval workflows are the trust layer between AI speed and human accountability. You define which actions require approval, who can approve them, what information the approver sees, and what happens if approval times out. Every decision is logged.
Features
How OrcaMonitor implements approval workflows
Workflow Definitions
Define which action types require approval: AI remediation proposals, automation playbook execution, device configuration changes, role assignments, and credential vault access.
Approver Routing
Route approval requests to a specific user, a role group, an on-call rotation, or a sequenced multi-approver chain. Parallel and sequential approvals both supported.
Approval Context Package
Approvers receive a full context bundle: the proposed action, affected devices, AI confidence score, supporting evidence, estimated impact, and rollback plan.
Multi-Channel Notifications
Approval requests are delivered via email, Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, or any configured notification channel. Approvers can respond directly from the notification.
Timeout & Escalation
If an approver does not respond within a configurable window, the request auto-escalates to the next approver tier or is auto-rejected with notification.
Conditional Approval Rules
Define rules that route approvals differently based on severity, device group, action type, or time of day — junior staff for low-risk, seniors for high-risk.
Capabilities
- Sequential, parallel, and majority-vote approval modes

Compliance Framework Alignment
These lines map OrcaMonitor features to the controls they help you evidence. They are not certifications of OrcaMonitor or Synetal Solutions — compliance is a conclusion your own auditor reaches about your organisation and scope.
