AI SAFE2 Framework v2.1

I’m Vincent Sullivan. I’ve spent my career in high-stakes infrastructure (e.g. USAF, DOD, USCYBERCOM, Dell Technologies), and I am here today because I saw a dangerous gap forming as we get FOMO as we deploy AI, AI automation and Agentic AI. We are all rushing to stay ahead and are deploying Agentic AI (using Cursor, n8n, LangChain, CrewAI, AgenticFlow) at breackneck speeds. We are solving operational problems in all areas of life and business as we are building powerful AI automations, Agetnic AI & moving towards AI Swarms. But when I looked at the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) and Security landscape, I saw a massive disconnect forming, especially with Govts rushing out niche frameworks: The Innovation: "Here is a swarm of autonomous agents with execute permissions." The Governance: "Here is a spreadsheet asking if you use 2FA." The "Probability Model" of hoping our agents don't hallucinate or get hijacked isn't a strategy. It’s a liability. ⚡ What We Built AI SAFE2 v2.1 is our latest upgrade, the universal OS translation layer that turns technical chaos into regulatory order (the AI stack you're actually running) to regulatory reality (ISO 42001, NIST, SOC2). Here's what makes it different (What is actually inside): ✅ Agentic-Native: Treats AI agents, swarms, and NHI as first-class citizens (not an afterthought) ✅5-Layer Defense: We didn't just write principles; we built the architecture. Pillar 1: Sanitize & Isolate (The Perimeter) Controls for: Supply Chain Artifact Validation & RAG Poisoning defenses. Pillar 2: Audit & Inventory (The Map) Controls for: Swarm Topology Mapping. You cannot secure what you cannot see. Pillar 3: Fail-Safe & Recovery (The Kill Switch) Controls for: Distributed Agent Fail-Safes. A "Red Button" to ground a hijacked swarm instantly. Pillar 4: Engage & Monitor (The Watchtower) Controls for: Consensus Failure Escalation. If the swarm disagrees or drifts semantically, we lock it down. Pillar 5: Evolve & Educate (The Doctrine) Controls for: Swarm Manager Certification mapping to the MIT AI Risk Repository. ✅ 128 Operational Controls: Not abstract principles—actual JSON schemas, CLI commands, Docker configs ✅ Universal Mapping: One implementation = compliance with ISO 42001 + NIST AI RMF + SOC2 + MITRE ATLAS + OWASP + GDPR simultaneously ✅ Real-World Stack Coverage: Secures what you actually use (Cursor, Windsurf, LangGraph, AutoGen, n8n, Make, CrewAI) 🎯 Who This Helps Automation Experts wanting to increase their margins Security Architects: Stop reinventing agentic security from scratch GRC Officers: Generate audit evidence in 60 minutes (not 6 months) Platform Engineers: Implement controls without slowing innovation CISOs: Demonstrate board-level AI risk management 📊 Validation & Traction ✅ 100% mapping to MIT AI Risk Repository (1,600+ cataloged AI risks) ✅ Aligned with NIST's Dec 2025 Cyber AI Profile (we're ahead of the curve) ✅ Dual open-source license: MIT (code) + CC-BY-SA (framework docs) ✅ Implementation toolkit with Excel scorecards, legal templates, MCP scripts 🚀 What I Need From You Today We are releasing this to the community because a secure ecosystem protects us all. The "Learner" Path (Free Taxonomy): Grab the open-source framework. Use our taxonomy and definitions to map your own stack to ISO 42001. It’s free, comprehensive, and ready for you to fork. or accelerate your work... The "Executor" Path (Implementation Toolkit): Don't want to build from scratch? Grab the Toolkit. Get the Excel scorecards, MCP scripts, and legal templates to get audit-ready in roughly 60 minutes. MY ASK (Let’s stress-test this): I am not looking for passive upvotes. I am looking for "Pragmatic Protectors" and "Builders" who are building in the trenches. Tell me: What is the one specific "Shadow AI" risk keeping you up at night? (e.g., A developer connecting an agent to prod DB without auth?) Challenge me: Drop a comment with the Agent Framework or Vector DB you are using. My Promise: I will reply with the #1 GRC Blind Spot that specific tool introduces—and which Control from the framework fixes it. (Example: "I use Pinecone." -> "You are vulnerable to RAG Poisoning. You need Control P1.T1.5.") Let’s see if your stack is actually audit-ready. — Vincent Cyber Strategy Institute
