AI Agent Risk Advisory

"AI agents introduce risks most compliance teams haven't planned for yet."

One third of organizations have already deployed AI agents. By 2027, this grows to 93%. AI agents interact with sensitive data, are targeted by adversaries, and introduce significant governance challenges — yet most organizations have no compliance framework for agent behavior. The EU AI Act imposes direct obligations on high-risk AI system operators beginning August 2026.

Who It's For

  • Organizations deploying AI agents in regulated environments
  • Compliance and risk teams seeking AI agent visibility
  • Companies subject to EU AI Act requirements
  • Legal, financial, or healthcare orgs adopting agentic AI

What's Included

  • Assessment of AI agent deployment and data access patterns
  • Review against EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001
  • Identification of high-risk behaviors and data exposure
