Sumsub AI governance and security initiatives

Overview

Sumsub has introduced several initiatives aimed at managing the risks associated with autonomous AI systems. In late September 2026, the company launched the Sumsub Agentic AI Council in Singapore. This APAC-focused forum is designed to develop governance frameworks and practical guardrails through three pillars: Adopt, Build, and Govern. The Council seeks to address issues such as unintended outcomes in multi-step AI systems and oversight in agentic commerce.

By October 2026, Sumsub expanded its ‘Know Your Agent’ (KYA) framework by introducing a KYA Module for Model Context Protocol (MCP). This module allows businesses to set specific access permissions for AI agents and acts as a filter to strip personally identifiable or sensitive information from requests before they reach the agent. This follows previous developments including the launch of AI Agent Verification and the integration of MCP, targeting security concerns regarding sensitive data exposure by autonomous agents.
