Autonomy
Planning, persistence, delegation, and action without intervention.
Independent AI-agent risk intelligence
Know your agent’srisk profile.
AI agents create a new category of risk. They make decisions, access systems, use data, and take actions with increasing autonomy.
Traditional AI governance does not capture the full risk. AgenticFides provides independent risk intelligence for AI agents—starting at design.
Design→Assess→Improve→Deploy
The new AI risk
From AI governance to AI-agent risk.
The risk is no longer just the model.
It is the agent—its autonomy, authority, capabilities, dependencies, interactions, and potential failure modes.
The critical questionDo you really know what your AI agent can do?
Our approach
Know the agent before you trust the agent.
We assess the agent itself, the environment in which it operates, and the conditions required for responsible deployment.
Authority
Permissions, commitments, transactions, and decision rights.
Capabilities
Tasks, tools, workflows, and actions the agent can perform.
Dependencies
Models, platforms, data, services, suppliers, and people.
Data & tool access
Sensitive information, APIs, production systems, and external tools.
Human oversight
Ownership, intervention, escalation, interruption, and accountability.
Interactions
Users, other agents, systems, counterparties, and untrusted inputs.
Failure modes
Misuse, manipulation, error, control failure, and unintended action.
Resulting exposure
Operational, regulatory, financial, legal, and reputational consequences.
Assessment output
These characteristics are brought together in a clear, structured, and actionable AI Agent Risk Profile™.
Design first
Identify risk before it becomes exposure.
Risk is easier to manage when it is identified before deployment—while authority, access, architecture, and controls can still be changed.

Risk intelligence for those who deploy, insure, and advise.
One agent-centred assessment, applied to the decision each client must make.
Deploy AI agents with greater confidence.
Understand agent-specific operational, regulatory, financial, legal, and reputational risk before agents enter critical business processes.
- Design and pre-deployment review
- Control and governance requirements
- Risk acceptance and deployment decisions
- Independent evidence for stakeholders
Make AI-agent risk assessable.
Bring consistent, explainable risk intelligence into insurance and portfolio decisions.
- Underwriting and risk selection
- Portfolio and dependency review

- Governance and regulatory advice
- Transactions, disputes, and incidents
- Client and firm deployment review
Our products
Assessment, profile, assurance, and rating.
The product set follows a clear sequence: understand the agent, record the risk, verify defined requirements, and establish a basis for future rating.

AI Agent Rating
An independent rating framework intended to support comparable AI-agent risk decisions as evidence and experience develop.
Why AgenticFides
Built around the agent and the decision.
- Agent-centred
- We assess the agent itself, not only the model or the enterprise policy.
- Design-first
- We identify risk while design, authority, access, and controls can still be changed.
- Independent
- We provide objective risk intelligence for the organisations making or reviewing the decision.
- Actionable
- Findings lead to specific risk-reduction and control measures.
- Cross-disciplinary
- Technology, risk, legal, regulatory, and insurance considerations are assessed together.
Our principle
Trust should be designed in.
AI agents will increasingly act on behalf of organisations.
Trust cannot be added at the end. It has to be designed in from the beginning.
