Knowable
A governed agent register for regulated firms that records machine identity, human sponsorship, authorized purpose and limits, approvals, activity evidence, review dates, and revocation state.
Regulated firms are deploying agents faster than traditional identity and governance records describe their purpose, sponsor, permissions, clients, spend, models, and revocation. The supplied research reports an FCA Know Your Agent architecture and a private four-pillar KYA framework, plus a real enterprise agent-governance competitor. It does not establish that regulators require a universal per-agent certificate. Knowable's durable product is the continuously reviewed authorization record and evidence export, with any certificate limited to a signed snapshot rather than marketed as regulatory acceptance.
The compliance, operational-risk, security, or AI-governance leader at a regulated financial or professional-services firm deploying agents into client or controlled workflows.
The input records multiple inbound, direct, and cross-reference connections.
June 2026 launches and guidance signals make the need immediate.
The niche is specific, but existing identity vendors can expand.
Strong convergence, a defined regulated buyer, current agent-management launches, and a concrete sponsorship-plus-revocation mechanism support the direction.
The regulatory mandate and certificate form need primary validation, a direct enterprise competitor exists, and the authorization record is only useful if runtime enforcement remains synchronized.
