Governance Framework¶
AI Trust Commons is building the cross-provider governance layer that no single vendor will build. Every major cloud vendor publishes AI agent governance guidance for their own platform. None addresses what happens at the seams between providers.
Four Pillars¶
-
Standards Mapping
Authoritative crosswalk across OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, NIST AI RMF, SOC 2, and EU AI Act. Implement one control, get credit across multiple audits.
The standards landscape for AI agents is fragmented. NIST publishes the AI Risk Management Framework. OWASP publishes the Top 10 for Agentic Applications. The EU AI Act imposes transparency obligations. SOC 2 auditors ask their own questions. AI Trust Commons maps these standards to each other so that a single technical control can satisfy requirements across multiple frameworks.
-
Policy-as-Code
Machine-readable compliance that operates at AI speed. Governance as a guardrail agents run alongside, not a gate teams stop and open.
Standards bodies write governance frameworks in natural language. No system can implement natural language automatically. Policy-as-Code bridges the gap between governance intent and technical enforcement by expressing compliance requirements in machine-readable formats that agents can evaluate in real time.
-
Cross-Provider Audit Trails
Structured logs of what agents did, what data they accessed, and why, in a standard format that works across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments.
Microsoft's MCP Gateway handles routing within Azure. Google's Agent Builder governs agents on Vertex AI. AWS Bedrock has its own guardrails. Each generates logs in its own format. AI Trust Commons defines a cross-provider audit trail format that lets enterprises trace agent behavior across all environments.
-
OWASP Validation
Automated validation against the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, from agent goal hijack to cascading failures.
The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications identifies the most critical security risks for autonomous AI systems. AI Trust Commons provides automated validation tooling that tests agent deployments against these benchmarks before and during production operation.
