Agent Defense: framework mappings

Which test gives evidence for which framework item.

Each row takes one dated test from the evidence record and lists the NIST AI RMF 1.0 subcategories and OWASP Agentic Top 10 items it gives evidence for. Where an item is not covered by a test, this page says so.

These are mappings, not certifications. Each row maps one dated, Candor-reported test to the framework items it gives evidence for. No row claims conformance with a framework, and no framework body has reviewed these results. Where a framework item is not covered by a test, the table says so.

Verified behavior to framework items

Row numbers follow the order of the nineteen behaviors on the evidence page. Dates and results are copied from that page.

The published limits, mapped

What is not yet evidence, against the same frameworks. These are the four limits stated on the evidence page.

LimitWhat is not testedNIST AI RMF 1.0OWASP ASI (2026)
Population scaleLive revocation tested at a ten-agent tree and 600 evaluations; report generator on synthetic 5,000 agents and 500,000 actions; hundreds or thousands of live agents not testedMEASURE 2.3 (deployment-like conditions): gap at scaleASI08
Requester scope and covert channelsThe acting agent's authority governs; the requester's narrower scope is not evaluated; covert channels not testedMAP 3.5: partialASI03, ASI07
Evaluator accessNo scoped read-only credential for auditors or third-party assessorsMEASURE 1.3 (independent assessors): not metNot applicable

Scope

Candor’s own tests only

Every result comes from Candor’s own test range and fleet. None is a customer result, and none is an independent audit.
