One of the main concerns around the emergence of AI as a tool for businesses to optimize their efficiency is the notion that a lack of security and governance will degrade its effectiveness and could increase risk for organizations that ignore it. For agentic AI, which is even newer, the risks can multiply.
UiPath said recently it will do its part to reduce those risks by becoming a founding technical contributor to AIUC-1, a security and compliance framework designed to guide enterprise adoption of AI agents. The standard is maintained by the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC) and incorporates requirements from the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the EU AI Act, and ISO 42001.
The framework aims to give enterprises a consistent way to evaluate how agents interact with business-critical systems and data. AIUC-1 centers on auditable controls that address common AI risks—including jailbreaks, prompt injections, hallucinations, and data leakage—at a time when agent deployments increasingly connect to ERP, CRM, healthcare, and financial systems.
As a technical contributor, UiPath will provide input based on its agentic automation platform and its work with large global customers. The company’s engagement comes as enterprises push for clearer security benchmarks before expanding their use of autonomous systems.
“We’re proud to be a founding technical contributor to AIUC-1, helping to shape the industry-leading AI agent standard for enterprise adoption,” said UiPath CISO Scott Roberts. “Customers use our platform to agentify and orchestrate highly sensitive workflows, from fraud detection to financial operations, trusting us to adhere to the highest levels of AI security, safety and reliability. As a leader in agentic automation, we’re committed to delivering to our customers the confidence that our platform meets the highest global standards.”
AIUC co-founder Rajiv Dattani said the standard is designed to help organizations manage the operational realities of deploying agents that make autonomous decisions at scale.
Certification under AIUC-1 requires independent audits and quarterly adversarial testing across more than 1,000 risk scenarios. UiPath’s assessment will be conducted by Schellman, which previously performed the company’s ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification.
AIUC positions the framework as part of a broader effort to create insurance-grade confidence for organizations adopting autonomous systems, including verification, evaluation, and standardized controls for agent builders and enterprise buyers.
