ACF readiness and certification support
Prepare your AI agents for behavioral certification with expert guidance
As AI agents take on more complex tasks, demonstrating that they operate within defined boundaries becomes increasingly important. Rhymetec helps organizations assess readiness, address security gaps, and prepare for the Agent Certification Framework (ACF).

Build confidence in AI agent behavior
Validate the boundaries, consistency, and resilience of your AI systems
- Verify that agents operate within authorized boundaries.
- Identify behavioral inconsistencies and unreliable outputs.
- Test resilience against prompt injection and adversarial manipulation.
- Strengthen AI assurance with structured testing and documented controls.
Turn AI assurance into action
Preparing for ACF means understanding how your AI agents behave in practice and addressing gaps before certification. Rhymetec helps you assess existing safeguards, strengthen controls, and organize supporting evidence to build a more reliable foundation for AI deployment.
Our approach to ACF readiness
A structured path to stronger AI assurance and certification readiness
Scope & Readiness
Review your AI agents, deployment context, operating permissions, and existing security controls to establish priorities and identify readiness gaps.
Behavioral Risk Assessment
Evaluate relevant risks across authorization boundaries, behavioral consistency, inaccurate claims, and adversarial manipulation, aligned with the applicable ACF test requirements.
Remediation & Control Development
Address identified gaps through security control implementation, policy development, documentation, and improvements to agent permissions and operating safeguards.
Certification Preparation
Organize supporting evidence, review readiness against applicable requirements, and prepare for assessment by an ACF-accredited certification provider.
AI assurance that moves your business forward
Strengthen AI security with a structured approach to behavioral certification
Rhymetec helps your organization establish the security practices and supporting documentation needed to prepare AI agents for certification, including:
- ACF readiness assessments and gap analysis
- AI agent security and authorization reviews
- Support for addressing behavioral and adversarial risks
- Security policy and control development
- Documentation and evidence preparation
- Certification preparation and ongoing security support

What is the Agent Certification Framework (ACF)?
ACF is an independent certification standard that evaluates the behavior of deployed AI agents. It assesses whether agents respect defined operational boundaries, behave consistently, accurately represent their capabilities and actions, and resist adversarial manipulation.
Who should consider ACF certification?
Organizations deploying AI agents in business-critical or externally facing workflows may consider ACF to demonstrate more structured assurance over agent behavior. It can be particularly relevant when agents interact with sensitive d
How can Rhymetec help with ACF?
Rhymetec can support the readiness journey through security gap assessments, control and policy development, remediation planning, and documentation preparation. Certification itself is conducted through the applicable ACF certification process; support can be tailored to your agent’s deployment and readiness needs.
What does ACF test?
ACF defines 32 tests across four behavioral suites: Commitment Boundary, Consistency, Hallucination Detection, and Adversarial Resistance. Together, these evaluate how agents respond to unauthorized requests, equivalent instructions, misleading premises, and deliberate attempts to bypass safeguards.
How is ACF different from SOC 2 or ISO 42001?
SOC 2 evaluates an organization’s controls against applicable Trust Services Criteria, while ISO/IEC 42001 establishes requirements for an AI management system. ACF focuses specifically on the behavior of a deployed AI agent. These approaches address different areas of assurance and may complement one another.
