One pentest produces technical evidence for EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, AIUC-1, and OWASP AISVS. Control-by-control mapping and gap analysis. url: https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance --- # AI Compliance Your agents need to pass an audit. ZioSec makes that happen. Whether you are deploying one agent or one hundred, operating in healthcare, finance, the EU, or answering a vendor security questionnaire, your AI systems face a growing web of compliance standards. ZioSec produces the **technical evidence** those standards demand so you can ship with confidence and survive every audit. ## The compliance journey Every compliance effort starts the same way. If you own AI risk at your organization, this is the path you are on. ZioSec meets you at step three. 1. **An audit is triggered.** A regulation takes effect, a customer sends a vendor questionnaire, or your board mandates an internal review. Something forces the question: are our AI agents compliant? 2. **You identify the standards.** EU AI Act? NIST AI RMF? ISO 42001? AIUC-1? OWASP AISVS? Different verticals, geographies, and customer bases point to different frameworks, often several at once. 3. **You need technical evidence.** Every standard has controls that require proof your agents were tested for adversarial robustness, security, and reliability. That evidence is what ZioSec produces. ## Five standards. Different triggers. One evidence source. ### EU AI Act (Regulatory) Read the full coverage: https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/eu-ai-act The first comprehensive legal framework for AI worldwide. A risk-tiered regime where high-risk systems carry obligations around risk management, data governance, technical documentation, human oversight, accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity. - **Who needs this:** Any organization providing or deploying AI in the EU market. - **Why it matters:** It is the law. High-risk AI systems face mandatory conformity assessments covering risk management, robustness, cybersecurity, and documentation. - **Deadline:** Conformity deadline: August 2, 2026 - **ZioSec coverage:** Continuous pentesting produces evidence for Art. 9 (Risk Management), Art. 15 (Robustness and Cybersecurity), Art. 11 (Technical Documentation), and Art. 72 (Post-Market Monitoring). ### NIST AI RMF (Voluntary) Read the full coverage: https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/nist-ai-rmf A voluntary framework structured around GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, MANAGE. The GenAI Profile extends RMF to LLMs and agents. - **Who needs this:** US enterprises, federal contractors, and anyone answering US-style vendor questionnaires. - **Why it matters:** Increasingly referenced in federal procurement and enterprise risk management. The GenAI Profile extends coverage to LLMs and agents. - **Deadline:** No hard deadline, but growing procurement pressure - **ZioSec coverage:** Adversarial simulation, security evaluation (MS-2.6), privacy testing (MS-2.7), and pre-deployment red-teaming (MG-3.2) map directly to ZioSec outputs. ### ISO/IEC 42001 (Certifiable) Read the full coverage: https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/iso-42001 The first international management system standard for AI. Certifiable through accredited bodies, increasingly demanded in enterprise procurement. - **Who needs this:** Enterprises pursuing AI management system certification, or responding to vendor questionnaires that ask for it. - **Why it matters:** The first certifiable AI standard. Showing up in enterprise procurement and investor due diligence. - **Deadline:** Certification-driven, market pressure is now - **ZioSec coverage:** Verification and Validation (A.6.2.4), deployment attestation (A.6.2.5), fleet monitoring (A.6.2.6), and third-party agent testing (A.10.3). ### AIUC-1 (Certifiable) Read the full coverage: https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/aiuc-1 The first agent-specific certifiable standard. Updated quarterly. Audited by Schellman. Built around the threat model ZioSec was designed to address. - **Who needs this:** Organizations deploying autonomous AI agents who want insurance-aligned, agent-specific certification. - **Why it matters:** The first standard designed specifically for AI agents, not just models. Audited by Schellman. Updated quarterly. - **Deadline:** Quarterly audit cycles, next window always approaching - **ZioSec coverage:** Third-party adversarial testing (B.1), action boundary testing (B.6), MCP security, reliability stress testing, and accountability tracing. ### OWASP AISVS (Technical) Read the full coverage: https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/owasp-aisvs Modeled on OWASP ASVS, this is the technical verification checklist that risk frameworks point to. Thirteen chapters, three levels, testable by design. - **Who needs this:** Security teams and technical assessors who need a testable checklist. Complements all four frameworks above. - **Why it matters:** Modeled on OWASP ASVS, the standard that security teams already trust. Thirteen chapters covering every attack surface of an AI system. - **Deadline:** Technical complement, use alongside any framework - **ZioSec coverage:** Prompt injection (C02), agent orchestration (C09), adversarial robustness (C10), RAG security (C08), and 9 more chapters with direct ZioSec coverage. ## Quick decision guide Match your situation to the standards that apply. Most organizations fall into two or three rows. | If this is you... | Standards | What to know | |---|---|---| | You serve EU customers or operate in the EU | EU AI Act | Mandatory. Conformity assessment required by Aug 2026. | | You are a US federal contractor or answer US vendor questionnaires | NIST AI RMF | Voluntary but expected. Increasingly a procurement requirement. | | Your enterprise customers ask for AI certification | ISO/IEC 42001 | Shows up in vendor questionnaires and due diligence. | | You deploy autonomous agents that take real-world actions | AIUC-1 | The only standard built specifically for AI agents. | | Your security team needs a testable checklist | OWASP AISVS | Complements every framework above. Technical depth. | | You operate in healthcare, finance, or critical infrastructure | EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 | High-risk domains typically require multiple frameworks. | | You are building an agent platform or MCP infrastructure | AIUC-1, OWASP AISVS | Agent-specific controls for multi-agent and MCP architectures. | ## Evidence that flows into the tools you already use ZioSec does not replace your GRC platform, it feeds it. Every finding, every control mapping, every evidence artifact is structured and available via API. Sync directly into your existing compliance workflows so your risk register stays current without manual re-entry. - **Structured findings.** Every finding exported as structured JSON or CSV, mapped to framework controls. - **API-first delivery.** Push evidence directly into your compliance workflows, no manual re-entry. - **Multi-framework mapping.** One pentest produces evidence tagged to all five standards simultaneously. - **Continuous sync.** Findings update with every test cycle so your risk register never goes stale. ## Three views of the same evidence - **Standards Explorer** at https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/explorer. Search by control ID or keyword across all five frameworks. Filter by coverage type. Read the full narrative for every obligation. - **Cross-framework matrix** at https://ziosec.com/ai-compliance/matrix. One grid where rows are ZioSec capabilities and columns are framework controls. - **Per-standard deep dives.** Five focused pages, one per standard. Each opens with context, walks through controls, and shows exactly what ZioSec produces. ## Contact For a tailored crosswalk or briefing, email info@ziosec.com or book a demo at https://ziosec.com/demo.
