Cytra EU AI Act & NIST AI RMF Compliance

CYber Trust, Resilience & Assurance

Continuous EU AI Act & NIST AI RMF compliance, proven by how your AI actually runs.

Cytra gets you to — and keeps you at — alignment with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001, then proves it. The compliance collector runs standalone — deploy it behind your own firewall with no inbound ports (outbound-only), and it still turns every AI action into continuous, audit-ready evidence mapped to the frameworks. Add the managed MCP gateway when you want full runtime evidence: per-call policy, credential brokering, and sandboxed execution, all producing the same hash-chained record.

How the evidence is made

Compliance isn't a document you assemble — it's the record of how your AI runs.

One agent action, five deterministic steps — policy, credential broker, sandbox, then the record. The raw key never reaches the agent, the tool never runs unsandboxed, and the action (allowed or denied) becomes tamper-evident evidence mapped to the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. That's how Cytra keeps your evidence audit-ready. Sequence illustrative; the gateway that produces it is in private beta.

  1. AGENT CALL

    POST /v1/tools/.../invoke

    acme.gateway.cytra.io

  2. POLICY

    POL-014 // allow

    Per-tenant rules + kill-switch

    2026-05-09 14:31:46Z

  3. CREDENTIAL

    Scoped token // 5m TTL

    Raw key never leaves vault

  4. SANDBOX

    Isolated // no egress

    Deny-by-default, hard timeout

What you get / how it's delivered

The compliance outcome up top, the mechanism that delivers it underneath.

01EU AI ACT // NIST AI RMF // ISO 42001

Cross-framework control mapping

One set of controls, mapped once to the obligations of the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 — so a single piece of evidence answers the same control across every framework. Cytra keeps you aligned and audit-ready; it doesn't claim to certify you.

02COMPLIANCE-AS-RECORD

Continuous, audit-ready evidence

Every governed AI action becomes evidence the moment it runs — mapped to the control objectives of the frameworks. The audit pack is a by-product of operating, current the day the auditor asks, not a quarter-end reconstruction.

03WORM // INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIABLE

Regulator-readable record

Every action — including every denial — lands in a per-tenant SHA-256 hash-chain built for an outside party to verify. Reorder, delete, or mutate one record and the chain fails verification. The evidence stands up to inspection.

04NIST AI RMF MEASURE // AIF360

Bias + fairness monitoring

AIF360-aligned fairness metrics and drift detection run continuously to satisfy the measurement obligations of the frameworks; threshold breaches raise audit-trail entries, not just dashboard pings.

05OPTIONAL ADD-ON // PER-CALL CONTROL PLANE

Optional managed MCP gateway — for the full runtime record

The collector runs standalone (no gateway required). Add Cytra Gateway for the complete runtime layer: a per-tenant policy engine (prod-write blocks, IP allowlists, budget ceilings, approval gates, PII redaction) before every call, with one operator kill-switch. Gateway evidence and standalone collector evidence land in the same hash chain. Gateway is in private beta.

06HOW IT WORKS // VAULT · SANDBOX · NHI

Credentials brokered, tools sandboxed

Raw keys stay envelope-encrypted in a per-tenant vault — the gateway issues a short-lived, scoped token per call; tools run in a deny-by-default sandbox with runtime DLP and prompt-injection defense; agents are first-class identities (NHI) with their own policy lane and audit trail.

Next step // get audit-ready

Get audit-ready for the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.

Start with the compliance collector — deploy it entirely behind your firewall (no inbound ports, outbound-only) and it immediately turns your AI activity into audit-ready evidence mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001. Add the managed MCP gateway for full runtime evidence when you're ready. Aligned and audit-ready, not certified — SOC 2 Type II and a HIPAA BAA are in process; we never train on your data. The gateway is in private beta.
