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.

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.

01

Autonomy

Planning, persistence, delegation, and action without intervention.

02

Authority

Permissions, commitments, transactions, and decision rights.

03

Capabilities

Tasks, tools, workflows, and actions the agent can perform.

04

Dependencies

Models, platforms, data, services, suppliers, and people.

05

Data & tool access

Sensitive information, APIs, production systems, and external tools.

06

Human oversight

Ownership, intervention, escalation, interruption, and accountability.

07

Interactions

Users, other agents, systems, counterparties, and untrusted inputs.

08

Failure modes

Misuse, manipulation, error, control failure, and unintended action.

09

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.

Who we serve

Risk intelligence for those who deploy, insure, and advise.

One agent-centred assessment, applied to the decision each client must make.

For enterprises

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
For advisers

Give advice from a stronger factual base.

Use an independent view of the agent’s design, authority, controls, dependencies, and failure modes in legal, regulatory, transaction, and governance work.

  • Technology and commercial contracts
  • 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.

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.

Know Your Agent™ by Design.
