Independent Agent Assurance · EU AI Act ready
The agents you deploy are about to need independent evidence.
From 2 August 2026, the EU AI Act’s high-risk obligations apply in full. Deployers must oversee and monitor the AI systems they run — and most of those systems are third-party agents you didn’t build and can’t fully see inside. Hlido is the independent, evidence-backed, continuously-updated assessment layer for exactly those agents: hundreds of already tested against a public, reproducible methodology.
The readiness gap is real — and the clock is fixed
Only about a fifth of teams report proficiency in AI risk management (Economist Impact), and appliedAI found 40% of enterprise AI systems couldn’t even be clearly classified under the Act’s risk tiers. The bottleneck isn’t the technology — seven independent 2026 reports converge on the same conclusion: it’s the agentic-AI governance gap.
Why this is hard to do yourself
EU AI Act, Article 26 — obligations of deployers. Deployers of high-risk AI must monitor the operation of the system and act on the risks it surfaces. When the system is a third-party agent, you owe ongoing, defensible evidence about something you don’t control and can’t self-attest credibly.
Self-evaluation tools test your own prompts with your own data — useful, but not independent, and not something a regulator or your own risk committee will accept at face value. A point-in-time procurement questionnaire goes stale the moment the vendor ships a new version. What the Act actually asks for is continuous, independent, evidenced assessment — the one thing you structurally cannot produce about a third party from the inside.
What Hlido gives you
Independent · evidence-backed · longitudinal · machine-readable. The four things a deployer monitoring obligation needs, and the four things an in-house eval can’t be.
Independent assessment per agent
A reproducible scorecard against a public methodology, plus a claim-audit table mapping every vendor marketing claim to PASS / FAIL / UNVERIFIED with the evidence behind it.
Continuous drift & incident watch
We re-test on new releases and alert you on score drift, tier change, or a logged reliability incident — so “monitor the operation” isn’t a once-a-year scramble.
Governance-grade evidence, dated
Signed, timestamped evidence (screenshots, scorecard history, incident log) you can hand to your risk committee or auditor — the longitudinal record of what an agent did and when.
Pulls straight into your stack
Every assessment is JSON over REST and MCP, so your GRC tooling, agents, and dashboards consume it directly — no PDF archaeology.
Assess your agent stack
Tell us which third-party agents you deploy. We’ll come back with their current independent assessment, what’s already in the corpus, and what an ongoing assurance arrangement would cover.
Hlido provides independent third-party assessment evidence to support your due-diligence and deployer-monitoring work. It is not a legal compliance certification, and Hlido is not a notified conformity-assessment body.
