Fieldguide Becomes First AI Platform for Audit and Advisory to Achieve AIUC-1 Certification
Independent certification validates that Fieldguide's Field Agents meet the reference
standard for AI agent security, safety, and reliability
SAN FRANCISCO — May 6, 2026 — Fieldguide, a leading AI-native platform for audit and
advisory, today announced that its Field Agents have achieved AIUC-1 certification from the
Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company (AIUC). With today’s news, Fieldguide has become
the first AI platform in the audit and advisory category to meet the world's reference standard for
AI agent security, safety, and reliability. The certification, conducted by Schellman, the largest
specialized cybersecurity auditor and the first authorized AIUC-1 auditor, validates that
Fieldguide's AI agents operate safely in the high-stakes engagement environments where CPA
firms deliver their most important work.
AIUC-1 provides independent verification that AI agents meet rigorous standards across data
protection, operational boundaries, attack resistance, and error prevention. As audit and
advisory firms increasingly deploy agentic AI to close a widening capacity gap, client data,
regulatory scrutiny, and professional standards demand trustworthy AI now more than ever.
AIUC-1 provides Fieldguide customers with third-party assurance that the agents working
alongside their practitioners meet the bar set by enterprise security, legal, and procurement
teams.
"Audit and advisory firms are the trust infrastructure of the economy, and the AI that supports
them has to meet an equally high bar," said Jin Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fieldguide.
"Becoming the first AI platform for audit and advisory to achieve AIUC-1 certification reflects a
commitment we've made from day one: to build agentic AI that firms can deploy with confidence
on their most sensitive engagements."
"The most important feature of AI agents is how they behave on real engagement data, under
pressure, against attacks designed to break them," said Chris Szymansky, Co-Founder and
CTO of Fieldguide. "Our Field Agents were built for that from the start, with traceability, human
oversight, and guardrails in the core of how they work. That's what AIUC-1 certifies."
AIUC-1 operationalizes leading frameworks, including ISO 42001, the NIST AI Risk
Management Framework, MITRE ATLAS, and the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs. Certification
involves thousands of adversarial scenarios derived from real-world incidents, with agent
behavior tested at least quarterly. Fieldguide's certification builds on its existing ISO 42001
certification and SOC 2 Type 2 report.
“AI agents are only as trustworthy as the standards behind them and the discipline used to
evaluate them. Fieldguide put its platform through some of the most rigorous technical testing
we’ve seen across our AI governance practice, and that matters,” said Avani Desai, CEO of
Schellman. “When firms are relying on agentic AI for critical work, trust cannot be assumed. It
must be earned. Independent validation is no longer a nice-to-have – it is the baseline.”
"The stakes of auditing AI agents deployed by enterprises are extremely high," said Rajiv
Dattani, Co-Founder of the Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company. "Fieldguide's Field
Agents are now AIUC-1 certified, and its platform supports AIUC-1 audits. This means auditors
can now confidently certify AI agents are safe to deploy for enterprises, at scale. With this,
Fieldguide firmly positions itself as a category leader for AI safety."
