About Agency
Agency replaces traditional security and compliance headcount with AI without replacing your existing tools. Our platform is operated by forward-deployed engineers who run your entire security and compliance program including full virtual CISO coverage on your behalf. All powered by our proprietary AI agents. Agency is a vertically integrated AI platform and services company that enables organizations to achieve and maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC 2.0, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP, HITRUST, ISO 42001, and more without building internal teams. We integrate with leading GRC platforms like Vanta and Drata and security tools like CrowdStrike. At its core is our proprietary cybersecurity and GRC orchestration layer powering a suite of AI systems that execute end-to-end security and compliance operations: control implementation, evidence collection, monitoring, vendor risk, penetration testing, and audit coordination — across complex environments like BYODs, contractor fleets, and multi-party systems. Things that GRC automation platforms can't do. We deliver this through two distinctly separate products: Agency Comply — forward-deployed engineers who operate the platform, implement controls, run compliance programs, and manage security end-to-end Auditsuisse Assurance — our US and Swiss licensed CPA firm, powered by Auditsuisse AI, delivering independent SOC and global audits with speed and rigor. (Auditsuisse does not audit Agency Comply customers). Agency serves startups through enterprises building in high-stakes environments — AI, defense, aerospace, fintech, and healthcare — replacing fragmented tools and large internal teams with a single AI-driven system of execution.
