Lo que hace 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.

Agency replaces traditional security and compliance headcount with AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Agency Comply, an AI-driven platform operated by forward-deployed engineers that fully runs security and compliance programs, including virtual CISO coverage. Our system automates controls, evidence collection, monitoring, vendor risk, penetration testing, and audit coordination across complex enterprise environments - capabilities existing GRC platforms can't provide. We also offer Auditsuisse Assurance, an independent CPA-powered audit service using AI for SOC and global audits.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and are based in New York, NY, USA, and the company will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York gives us access to enterprise clients across fintech, healthcare, and aerospace sectors that demand rigorous compliance. Being here helps us hire engineers and maintain our forward-deployed model.
