ISO 42001 for agentic AI · APAC & global enterprises

Turn ISO 42001 From a Paper Checklist Into Cryptographic Proof.

Enterprise boards want Agentic AI. Security teams are blocking it. Unblock your AI deployment with automated posture validation logged directly to a tamper-proof distributed ledger, backed by a parametric cyber warranty for zero-day protection.

The Friction

Traditional IAM cannot secure autonomous background processes.

Modern Zero Trust relies on human and device identity. When an AI agent executes a task, traditional security fails to cryptographically scope what that process can access. Excel sheets and manual GRC reports will not survive a technical audit or stop a rogue AI agent.

01 / FAILURE MODE

Identity assumed, not proven

Zero Trust authenticates humans and devices. An autonomous process has neither — so its blast radius is inferred, never cryptographically enforced.

02 / FAILURE MODE

Evidence that fails audit

Spreadsheets and manual GRC reports cannot survive a technical audit. Screenshots are not attestations, and auditors increasingly refuse them.

03 / FAILURE MODE

Nothing stops a rogue agent

A compromised agent executes in milliseconds. Quarterly control reviews and annual questionnaires detect it long after the data is gone.

The Solution

Measure it. Prove it. Insure it.

One platform closes the loop from runtime restriction to auditor evidence to financial cover — no questionnaire in the loop.

Measure It01

Real-Time CTEM

Continuous threat exposure management using digital twin sandboxes. We mathematically restrict what an AI agent can execute or exfiltrate before it hits the network wire.

Prove It02

Immutable Ledger

Posture validation and control effectiveness are logged directly to the Hedera Hiero distributed ledger. Hand your auditors cryptographic, runtime evidence of ISO 42001 and DPDP Act compliance.

Insure It03

Parametric Warranty

You cannot insure an AI agent if you cannot prove what it is doing. Because we maintain cryptographic proof of your security posture, we attach smart-contract-driven cyber warranties that trigger instant SLA remediation and financial cover during zero-day events.

Global AI Governance

One Runtime Proof Engine for the 6 Rulebooks of AI Governance.

Do not rely on siloed spreadsheets for different global regulations. ApexPhalanx provides the immutable ledger evidence required to map your AI agent's behavior directly to global standards.

01

ISO/IEC 27001 & 42001

Cryptographic access control and continuous AI governance — control effectiveness proven at runtime, not sampled annually.

02

NIST AI RMF

Automated measurement and risk management across the AI lifecycle: Govern, Map, Measure, Manage — each mapped to anchored evidence.

03

EU AI Act

Runtime logs built for high-risk incident reporting, transparency obligations and post-market monitoring of AI systems.

04

California SB 53

Frontier risk disclosure backed by immutable logs of agent behaviour, policy decisions and containment actions.

05

OSFI E-23

Model risk controls for federally regulated financial institutions — auditable override, monitoring and inventory records.

06

India DPDP Act

Data-access proof per agent process, so personal-data processing by AI agents is demonstrable on demand.

Deploying ApexPhalanx doesn't just check one box — it future-proofs your entire global AI footprint against incoming regulations. One evidence stream, mapped to every rulebook your auditors will ask about next.

Evidence your auditor can independently re-verify.

Every posture snapshot is reduced to a Merkle root and written to a Hedera Hiero consensus topic. Anyone holding the transaction id can re-hash the payload and confirm nothing was altered — including your insurer and your regulator. No trust in ApexPhalanx required.

  • Hashes only on-chain — PII and documents never touch the ledger
  • Own Solo network for writes + public HCS checkpoints for independent timestamps
  • One tx id proves posture state at a point in time, forever

Frequently asked questions

How does ApexPhalanx turn ISO 42001 into cryptographic proof?

Continuous control checks run against your environment, each posture snapshot is reduced to a Merkle root, and the root is written to a Hedera Hiero consensus topic with a transaction id. Your auditor re-hashes the payload and confirms it matches the ledger — runtime evidence instead of a point-in-time questionnaire.

What is a parametric cyber warranty for AI agents?

Because we hold cryptographic proof of your security posture, we attach a smart-contract-driven warranty to your coverage. When a verified zero-day event occurs, the contract triggers instant SLA remediation and financial cover — no months-long claims negotiation over disputed evidence.

Does the distributed ledger see our data?

No. Only hashes and Merkle roots go on-chain — PII, documents and evidence files stay in encrypted off-chain storage. Anyone can verify that a specific record existed at a specific time without ever seeing its contents.

Which regulations does the platform map evidence to?

One evidence stream maps to six rulebooks: ISO/IEC 27001 & 42001, NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act, California SB 53, OSFI E-23 and India's DPDP Act — so new regulations reuse evidence you already collect instead of starting another spreadsheet.

What does onboarding look like?

We onboard a limited number of enterprise design partners: connect your environment, baseline your AI agent inventory and posture, then anchor your first verifiable snapshot — typically within days, not quarters.
