  AIUC-1 is the standard for AI agent security, safety and reliability.

  To earn certification, agents must pass all applicable AIUC-1 requirements validated by an accredited auditor and submit to comprehensive evals covering top enterprise risks.

  The standard is available transparently and the control library is used by large enterprises across industries to govern AI agents securely. It is updated each quarter to keep up with AI capabilities, risks and emerging legislation.
