AIUC-1
Also written Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company
The certification standard for AI agents published by the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company. Six pillars — data & privacy, security, safety, reliability, accountability and society — carry 51 active requirements, each decomposing into numbered controls such as A008.1 to A008.5. Two things separate it from ISO/IEC 42001 and the NIST AI RMF: the agent itself is put through adversarial testing rather than only the organisation’s paperwork, and that testing repeats at least quarterly to keep a twelve-month certificate alive. Requirements are scoped by capability, and the Q3 2026 release added mandatory ones for code-generating agents — A008 on secrets and B010 on secure generated code. Worth knowing before you weigh the certificate: AIUC publishes the standard, accredits the auditors, is currently the only technical testing body, issues every certificate and sells the matching insurance.
