UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, has been named a founding technical contributor to AIUC-1, a security framework designed for the adoption of AI agents in enterprise environments, developed by the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC).
This collaboration positions UiPath to leverage its expertise in agentic AI, automation, orchestration, and compliance leadership to enhance the AIUC-1 framework. The initiative aims to ensure robust security and trust for enterprises integrating AI agents into critical business processes and workflows.
AIUC-1 is an agent-specific framework that consolidates existing industry and global technology standards and guidance for AI usage and adoption. These include the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the EU AI Act, and ISO 42001, providing a single, auditable standard for AI agent governance.
Scott Roberts, CISO at UiPath, stated, “We’re proud to be a founding technical contributor to AIUC-1, helping to shape the industry-leading AI agent standard for enterprise adoption. Our more than 10,000 global 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.”
The framework is built upon technical evaluations and testing to mitigate AI-specific risks such as jailbreaks, prompt injections, hallucinations, and data leaks. These risks are particularly critical as AI agents often connect directly to mission-critical enterprise processes, autonomously executing transactions and managing sensitive data across various systems including ERP, CRM, healthcare, and financial platforms.
Rajiv Dattani, co-founder of AIUC, emphasized the necessity for secure agent deployments. “Deployments of automation agents must be secure, safe, and reliable, robustly responding to threats,” Dattani said. “UiPath has deep experience meeting these needs, working with sensitive data in highly regulated industries. By partnering as a founding technical contributor, they are taking their expertise and codifying it into a standard that AI builders and adopters globally can use to secure their deployments.”
AIUC-1 certification involves independent third-party audits and quarterly adversarial testing, covering over 1,000 enterprise risk scenarios to identify vulnerabilities proactively. Schellman, a global provider of attestation, compliance, and certification services and the largest specialized IT and cybersecurity auditor, will lead UiPath’s AIUC-1 audit. This audit will expand on Schellman’s prior work in UiPath’s ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification, focusing on AI agent-specific controls, technical evaluations, and data safeguards.
The Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC) provides confidence infrastructure for secure AI adoption through certification, auditing, and insurance for AI agents. Founded by experts with experience from organizations like Anthropic and developed with partners including Orrick, Stanford, the Cloud Security Alliance, MIT, and MITRE, AIUC-1 represents a comprehensive security, safety, and reliability standard for AI agents.
UiPath (NYSE: PATH) specializes in agentic automation, enabling enterprises to utilize AI agents for autonomous execution and optimization of complex business processes. The UiPath Platform is designed to combine controlled agency, developer flexibility, and integration to facilitate scalable and secure agentic automation.
Schellman is a leading global provider of attestation, compliance, and certification services, including SOC reports, ISO Certifications, PCI Qualified Security Assessor Company services, HITRUST assessments, and FedRAMP 3PAO services. Schellman was also the first ISO 42001 certification body accredited by ANAB.
