AIUC-1 readiness · the prep layer for accredited audits

Get AIUC-1 ready. Your auditor issues it.

AIUC-1 — the emerging trust standard for AI agents, 48 controls across six domains — is issued by accredited third-party auditors. Cognita is the layer before that audit: we get your agent ready and hand your auditor a clean, control-mapped evidence pack. The same motion Vanta runs into SOC 2 — readiness here, the certificate from the accredited firm.

This is an AIUC-1 readiness assessment, not a certification. It measures how ready you are against the AIUC-1 control framework from your own evidence — the documentation, policies, and controls you have in place. Cognita is not an accredited AIUC-1 auditor (Schellman and other accredited auditors issue AIUC-1) and does not perform the independent third-party evaluations AIUC-1 requires; controls marked “needs third-party eval” must be tested by an accredited tester. AIUC-1 is a third-party standard — see aiuc-1.com. Readiness, not certification.

Where Cognita stops and the auditor starts

1
You · with Cognita
Get ready

Score your agent against all six AIUC-1 domains, close the gaps, and assemble the evidence-anchored readiness report — the self-attestable controls evidenced, the third-party-eval controls flagged.

2
Cognita → auditor
Hand off a clean pack

Your accredited auditor receives a structured evidence pack mapped to the AIUC-1 controls — not a cold start. Less back-and-forth, a shorter engagement.

Accredited auditor
The audit + the independent evals

The accredited firm performs the audit and the independent technical evaluations (adversarial robustness, hallucination, tool-call testing) and ISSUES AIUC-1. Cognita does not do this step — by design.

For accredited auditors

Send your AIUC-1 prospects to prep with Cognita first. They arrive with the documentation and evidence already mapped to the controls, so your engagement is faster and starts on solid ground — the same way SOC 2 auditors lean on readiness platforms. We never represent ourselves as the auditor, never issue AIUC-1, and never perform the independent evaluations — that work, and the certificate, stay yours.

Start getting ready

Begin with the free 10-minute readiness score, then drill into the full evidence-anchored report when a buyer's security review needs it. When you're ready for the certificate, we point you to an accredited auditor.
