Introducing Trustworthy Autonomy™

Today we’re shipping something the industry has been promising for a decade: compliance agents that actually run programs, end-to-end.

Trustworthy Autonomy™is the new posture for AI on the vCISO Lite platform. Every action our agents propose is cryptographically signed. Bound to a specific control — SOC 2 CC6.1, PCI 8.3.1, ISO 27001 A.5.15, take your pick. Backed by a reasoning trace you can read line by line. Re-verified against fresh evidence, not a stale snapshot. And nothing runs on its own until you say it can.

What our agents can run today

• Third-party risk programs. Score vendors, chase questionnaires, escalate exposure, keep the register audit-clean.
• Audit prep and defense.SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS — evidence collected, controls implemented, findings remediated.
• Real-time KRI monitoring.Thresholds crossed → notified, response drafted, ready for your approval.
• End-to-end M&A cyber diligence.Attack surface, third-party concentration, data and regulatory exposure — priced in dollars.
• …and every other program the platform runs. As much or as little of the work as you want to hand over.

Built to the standards, not the pitch deck

Every claim above was designed against two documents: OWASP’s Top 10 for Agentic AI Security (released Dec 9, 2025) and the Cloud Security Alliance’s Agentic NIST AI RMF Profile v1. Both ask for the same underlying capabilities — kill switches, accountability registers, provable delegation chains. We built to those; the trust ladder on the landing page walks through how.

The full working paper — “A Framework and Benchmark Methodology for Certifying Autonomous GRC Agents”(Smith, 2026) — and the executive brief are on the briefs & specs page.

For the formal launch announcement, see the press release. For the underlying methodology and how our own market-research sprint shaped it, see the Trustworthy Autonomy blog cluster, including “How often is your compliance AI actually right?”

Trust accrues. It doesn’t get granted on a demo call.
