Agent Control Efficacy

Your board only hears
the part you own.

Your AI agents are the part no one does — in production, ungoverned, and exactly what the board is starting to ask about. We find what's running, test whether your controls hold, and hand you the whole story for the board.

Seeing the risk was never the problem.

You see the whole chain. You control a slice of it. Agents are the most ownerless part — stood up by product, by ops, by engineering, half of them never approved, none of them in your board deck. Knowing they're there was never the hard part. Acting takes authority you don't have until the board sees what you see.

That's the discipline gap. Agents are its sharpest edge.

The whole story. One page, every quarter.

What your board heard last quarter, beside what's true of your agents. Same company. Same quarter.

The board heard

  • Phishing failure — 2%
  • Training — 100% complete
  • Critical patch SLA — met

The part with an owner.

ACE found

  • Agents can exceed their granted scope
  • A live, exploitable vuln in an agent path
  • 2 shadow agents nobody approved

The part no one owns.

Governance and visibility. Not another autonomous AI.

We measure whether the controls you already have work against the agents you're already running. Nothing to deploy. Quay runs the assessment, a human signs off on every finding, and the board gets the truth — seven domains, each scored on whether the control works, not just whether it exists.

Operators who've answered the board before.

Steve Curtis ran Accenture Security and took Pangea into the AI-detection thesis CrowdStrike bought for $260M. He's a DDN-certified board advisor and CRO at Staris today — inside agent security as it's being built. The bench does the specialist work. Passarel owns the outcome.

Start with a conversation, not a contract.

Quay scopes it with you — what you're running, where you're exposed, which tier fits. No meeting. A human reviews everything she finds. You sign when it's right.
