This paper introduces the Unified Policy Architecture (UPA), a governance architecture for Enterprise AI Operating Systems. UPA provides a unified policy model for governing AI and agents, tools, workflows, memory, enterprise resources, and agent-to-agent interactions and enterprise business rules. It extends policy control beyond authorisation to include runtime
