Summary

Forrester released the AEGIS Framework for Agentic Security with a regulation‑aware crosswalk that maps 39 substantive controls to major AI governance standards, notably showing 100% alignment with both NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. Eighty percent of controls map to four or more frameworks, with OWASP LLM Top 10 (87%), the EU AI Act (74%) and MITRE ATLAS (54%) providing secondary but critical coverage for LLM threats and regional compliance. Forrester says AEGIS lets security leaders sequence work around high‑density, high‑yield controls (e.g., GRC‑01, GRC‑08, DATA‑01) to maximize coverage and reduce duplication, making it a practical blueprint for building trust and meeting regulatory demands.
