For Security Leaders

AI is becoming autonomous. Your controls need to be, too.

Certiv helps security teams govern and continuously secure AI agents and LLM-enabled applications, so you can safely enable agentic automation.

The 2026 Security Agenda

Your priorities. Where Certiv fits.

Five must-deliver outcomes from 2026 CISO surveys. Here’s how Certiv maps to each.

01

AI & Agent Governance

Safe autonomy at scale

Overprivileged agents, hidden tool use, shadow AI, unsafe workflows: all outside your existing controls.

How Certiv Helps

  • Enforceable policies for agent behavior, access, and tool use
  • Pre-execution controls that validate agent workflows before release
  • Continuous monitoring for drift, policy bypass, and unsanctioned agents
02

Identity & Least Privilege

Humans and non-humans

Credentials, service accounts, tokens, agent identities: attack paths IAM alone can't govern.

How Certiv Helps

  • Tie agent and tool permissions to policy at execution
  • Surface over-privileged workflows and excessive agency in real time
  • Generate evidence of least-privilege controls for audit and compliance
03

Reduce Blast Radius

Prove resilience

Assume compromise. Show the board you control material risk from AI autonomy.

How Certiv Helps

  • Continuous assurance and change tracking for every agent workflow
  • High-signal exceptions routed into existing response processes
  • Board-grade risk reporting with evidence lineage, not anecdotes
04

Continuous Assurance

Audit readiness

Audits drain weeks. Controls documented once, never continuously proven.

How Certiv Helps

  • Produce control evidence continuously, not at audit time
  • Map evidence to common frameworks with clear lineage
  • Track what changed, when, and why it's compliant, automatically
05

Efficiency Under Constraint

Consolidation + automation

Too many tools, too little headcount, too much manual validation.

How Certiv Helps

  • Automate repeatable assurance work and eliminate manual reviews
  • Push results into your existing SIEM, GRC, and CI/CD tools
  • Unified AI agent governance instead of point tools
Embrace & Extend

Certiv extends your existing stack

No rip-and-replace. Certiv complements your existing stack, adding AI-native governance to the tools your team already runs.

CERTIV RUNTIME ASSURANCE IAM / PAM Identity & Access SIEM / SOAR Detection & Response CI/CD + AppSec Release Gates GRC Evidence & Compliance YOUR EXISTING SECURITY STACK

IAM / PAM

Enforce least privilege for agent and tool actions. Document permission intent vs. reality.

SIEM / SOAR

Forward high-signal policy violations and assurance failures into existing detection workflows.

CI/CD + AppSec

Add AI and agent checks as release gates with auditable results and evidence artifacts.

GRC

Continuously generate evidence mapped to control requirements across frameworks.

OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications

Mapped to the risks your teams track

How Certiv addresses each risk in the OWASP 2026 Top 10 for Agentic Applications.

ASI01 Agent Goal Hijack

Risk: Prompt injection, poisoned data, or forged messages redirect agent objectives

Certiv: Intent validation + locked system prompts + goal-drift monitoring + pre-execution policy gates

ASI02 Tool Misuse & Exploitation

Risk: Injection or unsafe delegation causes tool misuse: data exfiltration, workflow hijacking

Certiv: Least-privilege tool profiles + action-level auth + execution sandboxes + adaptive rate budgets

ASI05 Unexpected Code Execution

Risk: Code-generation exploited for remote code execution, sandbox escape, or host compromise

Certiv: Sandboxed execution environments + code review gates + egress controls + no-trust output policies

ASI06 Memory & Context Poisoning

Risk: Agent memory or context stores corrupted to alter future behavior across sessions

Certiv: Memory segmentation + context integrity checks + session isolation + drift detection on stored state

ASI07 Insecure Inter-Agent Communication

Risk: Unvalidated agent-to-agent messages enable spoofing, replay, and privilege relay attacks

Certiv: Mutual auth (mTLS) + signed message envelopes + per-hop intent validation + anomaly monitoring

ASI08 Cascading Failures

Risk: One agent failure propagates across workflows, causing outages or data corruption

Certiv: Circuit breakers + blast-radius containment + graceful degradation policies + failure isolation boundaries

ASI09 Human-Agent Trust Exploitation

Risk: Agents exploit trust via social engineering, authority impersonation, or manufactured urgency

Certiv: Mandatory confirmation for high-impact actions + transparency controls + trust boundary enforcement

ASI10 Rogue Agents

Risk: Shadow AI, unauthorized deployments, agents drifting from intended behavior

Certiv: Agent inventory and discovery + policy enforcement at execution + continuous behavioral monitoring + kill switches

Evidence-First Compliance

If you’re held to it, Certiv helps you prove it

Continuous control effectiveness, not quarterly scrambles. Certiv produces traceable evidence mapped to the frameworks that matter.

NIST CSF 2.0 + Cyber AI Profile

Certiv produces evidence of governance, change control, validation, monitoring, and incident response for AI systems.

NIST AI RMF + GenAI Profile

Certiv maps to Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage with repeatable assurance artifacts.

EU AI Act (Aug 2026 deadline)

Enforcement begins August 2, 2026. Certiv provides inventory, controls, monitoring, and auditable proof for applicable AI systems.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001

Certiv generates evidence mapped to trust service criteria and security controls, reducing audit prep from weeks to hours.

What Success Looks Like

Metrics you can take to the board

Certiv exposes the hidden AI “action layer” with quantifiable data to drive outcomes, not just another dashboard.

01

Risk-weighted coverage of AI activity

AI agents under active policy, weighted by risk tier and data sensitivity

02

MTTC for policy drift

Mean time to contain agent policy violations or behavioral drift

03

High-risk actions intercepted

Agent actions blocked or escalated before execution, bucketed by avoided impact

04

Risk-weighted exception debt

Open and past-due agent policy exceptions scored by risk exposure

05

Continuous evidence readiness

Audit-ready score for agent controls based on completeness, freshness, and verifiability

The Budget Conversation

Enable AI Growth. Stabilize Security Spend.

Certiv unlocks AI productivity while controlling risk, audit burden, and cost, without scaling security headcount.

Growth

Accelerate AI Without Becoming the Bottleneck

Agents increase velocity and automation. Governance gaps slow rollout or push shadow adoption. Certiv’s guardrails let security say “yes” with confidence.

Risk

Reduce the Financial Impact of AI-Driven Risk

Autonomous systems expand privilege exposure, data leakage, and integration risk. One AI incident can outweigh years of governance investment. Certiv enforces policy at machine speed, limiting blast radius.

Efficiency

Replace Manual Oversight with Continuous Assurance

Reviews multiply, changes accelerate, audit evidence mounts. Manual governance doesn’t scale. Certiv automates validation, monitoring, and evidence generation.

Scale

Scale Controls Without Scaling Security FTEs

Agents scale infinitely. Teams don't. Certiv's machine-scale controls let security support AI expansion without adding headcount.

FAQ
