AI agents need
a license to operate.
AI agents acting autonomously in regulated industries must earn KYA Accreditation before enterprises grant them access to their systems, call centers, and workflows.

Six domains, examiner-adjudicated
Enterprises can't verify
who — or what — they're talking to
When an AI agent calls your claims line, submits a prior auth, or resets a customer password — how do you know it's safe, compliant, and behaving as intended?
The old way
- No way to verify the AI agent's identity or behavior
- Unknown model version, training data, and update cadence
- No audit trail when an agent takes a wrong action
- Enterprises block AI access — or take on unknown risk
- Liability falls entirely on the enterprise
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX violations go undetected
KYA Accreditation Platform
- Verified agent identity, behavior profile, and compliance scope
- Continuous monitoring — re-validated on every model update
- Full audit trail of every agent action and interaction
- Enterprises grant access with confidence — deals close faster
- Liability backed by a credentialed, accountable standard
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX alignment built into the accreditation
- Faster procurement — skip lengthy internal security reviews
- Accreditation valid across every enterprise that requires KYA
Built for Regulated Industries
Independent accreditation,
built for regulated work
KYA Accreditation creates a shared standard that enterprises can require and AI vendors can earn — making regulated AI deployment possible at scale.
For Enterprises & Payers
Require Accreditation
Set KYA Accreditation as a condition of access. Know exactly what every AI agent is doing in your systems — and hold vendors accountable to a verified standard.
Set your access policy
Require KYA Accreditation as a prerequisite before any AI agent is granted access to your systems, APIs, or call centers.
Continuous compliance assurance
KYA monitors accredited agents continuously. A material change triggers re-examination — you're notified of any drift.
Audit-ready documentation
Every accredited agent interaction is logged and attributable. Full audit trails for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, and state regulations.
Reduce vendor risk
Evaluate AI vendors by their KAAC credential status, not just their sales pitch. Accreditation is your independent third-party signal.
For AI Vendors & Deployers
Get Accredited
Earn the KAAC credential and unlock access to enterprises in regulated industries. Turn accreditation into a competitive advantage and a faster path to revenue.
Unlock enterprise access
KAAC accreditation is the credential enterprises require before granting AI agents access. Earn it once, deploy everywhere it's recognized.
Differentiate in a crowded market
When a hospital or RCM company evaluates AI vendors, KYA accreditation is a decisive third-party signal that separates you from the field.
Stay current automatically
KYA's continuous monitoring keeps your standing honest between exams; a material change triggers a scoped delta re-exam on the new pinned build.
Accelerate procurement cycles
Enterprises skip lengthy internal security reviews for accredited agents. Your sales cycle shortens. Deals close faster.
The Process
How KYA Accreditation works
A rigorous, transparent, and continuously maintained standard — not a checkbox. Modeled on the credentialing processes that regulated industries already trust.
01
Submit for Evaluation
AI vendors and deployers submit their agent for evaluation — the pinned build, DDQ-1 answers, declared scope, and autonomy class. KYA derives the tier and scopes the sealed examination — the Standards Council writes the rules and never decides an individual result.
02
Sealed Examination — Examiner-Decided
KYA runs a battery of automated behavioral tests against the agent — adversarial prompts, edge cases, regulatory scenarios, and data handling checks. A human review panel validates results and flags exceptions.
03
KAAC Credential Issued
Agents that pass receive the KYA Accredited Agent Credential (KAAC) — a verifiable, machine-readable certificate that enterprises can validate in real time before granting system access.
04
Continuous Monitoring
Accreditation is not a one-time event. KYA continuously monitors accredited agents. Every model update triggers automated re-validation. Drift from the accredited behavior profile triggers immediate alerts and potential suspension.
KYA ACCREDITATION PLATFORM
Every tool needed to earn — and maintain — your KAAC credential
KYA's platform manages the full accreditation lifecycle for AI agents.
From initial evaluation to continuous monitoring — one unified system, no gaps.

AI-POWERED EVALUATION
AI that evaluates AI.
Rigorous. Continuous. Examiner-decided.
KYA uses AI to test AI agents at scale — adversarial scenarios, regulatory edge cases, and behavioral drift detection. Faster than human review. More thorough than a checklist.
See how it worksBehavioral Risk Scoring
AI analyzes the agent's behavior profile, integration scope, and regulatory context. Generates a risk score mapped to KYA-1 tiers — automation proposes, examiners decide.
Adversarial Testing
AI runs hundreds of adversarial prompts and edge-case regulatory scenarios against the agent. Examiners adjudicate every failure before it reaches production.
Standards Mapping
AI maps agent behavior against HIPAA, CMS, PCI-DSS, and other applicable frameworks. One evaluation, multiple regulatory outputs.
Drift Detection
AI continuously monitors accredited agents for behavioral drift after model updates. Flags deviations before enterprises are exposed.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS
Your frameworks already count. SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HITRUST evidence maps in — see the gaps before the exam does
The foundational standard for AI agents in healthcare. KAAC evidence cross-walks to HIPAA and maps toward CMS, NCQA, and state DOI requirements.
One KAAC evaluation maps your existing certifications against HIPAA, HITRUST, CMS, and ISO 42001. See exactly where you already comply — and where the gaps are — before you begin. Mapping strengths shown are illustrative until overlay 1.0 cross-walks publish.
INTEGRATIONS
Wired into the systems your agents touch
KYA integrates with the enterprise systems, cloud providers, and AI platforms that accredited agents operate within — so evaluation reflects real-world behavior, not just documentation. Adapters are read-only — KYA observes; it never acts in your systems. Categories shown, not partnerships.
The Standard is Being Set Now
The accreditation standard
for autonomous AI agents.
Regulated industries are moving fast to require AI agent accreditation. Enterprises that set the standard early control the access policy. AI vendors that earn it early own the market.
