Agency

Agency is a vertically integrated AI platform and services company founded in 2020 that helps organizations achieve and maintain compliance certifications. It replaces traditional security and compliance headcount with forward-deployed engineers who work alongside proprietary AI technology. The firm serves startups through enterprise organizations across technology and software, healthcare, financial services, media and entertainment, and government.

The company's portfolio comprises 13 purpose-built AI products, among them Verse C2, a command-and-control orchestration system; Umberto, a compliance evidence engine; Rumi AI, for cloud operations; Ringwraith, for audit monitoring; and Armada PSCO, for multi-framework control mapping. Technical work spans AI/ML, compliance automation, cybersecurity, cloud operations, audit monitoring and compliance evidence management. Seven certifications are supported: SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC 2.0, HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP and HITRUST. The platform integrates with existing tools such as Vanta, Drata, CrowdStrike, AWS, Azure and GCP without rip-and-replace migrations.

Agency reports that more than 1,000 companies use its services and that it holds a G2 rating of 4.9. The company is Y Combinator-backed and operates from New York City, Boston, Richmond and London. Engineers are deployed on site with clients, and the model combines a platform with embedded services rather than software alone.
