Cybersecurity and Compliance Agent

The problem

Four regulatory regimes now bear on most European technology organisations at once, and they do not align neatly. NIS2 demands operational resilience and rapid incident reporting. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework asks for continuous risk assessment and governance. ISO/IEC 27008 governs the assessment of information security controls. The AI Act imposes transparency, human oversight and non-discrimination obligations on AI systems.

Assessed manually, this is a consultancy exercise repeated annually, expensive, and already out of date by the time the report is delivered. Assessed continuously, it becomes an engineering property of the system.

What we build

MCi designs and deploys compliance agents — structured, domain-tuned AI systems that evaluate an organisation's cybersecurity and AI governance posture against the applicable frameworks, identify gaps, and produce audit-ready evidence.

Framework mapping

Establish which obligations under NIS2, NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27008 and the AI Act apply to your systems, and translate them into concrete design and operational requirements.

Lifecycle risk assessment

Evaluate cybersecurity risk in the design and development of AI and IT systems — where risk enters, how it propagates, and what mitigations belong at which stage.

AI Act conformity

Assess data governance, model explainability, testing against non-discrimination requirements, audit trail integrity, and interaction with GDPR obligations.

Continuous monitoring

Define the telemetry, detection and alerting required for NIST-grade continuous monitoring, and the workflows and timelines required for NIS2 incident reporting to national authorities.

Data protection controls

Encryption, access control, privacy risk assessment, anonymisation and pseudonymisation strategy, and Data Protection Impact Assessment scoping.

Reporting and documentation

Produce the documentation set each framework expects — risk registers, control effectiveness records, incident reporting procedures, and AI transparency evidence.

Continuous improvement

Scheduled reassessment as technology, threat landscape and regulation move. Compliance is a state you maintain, not a certificate you obtain.

What you get

• A current, evidenced picture of your posture against each applicable framework
• A prioritised remediation plan with effort and risk weighting
• Automated compliance checks integrated into your development lifecycle
• Documentation that survives contact with an auditor
• A defined path from where you are to where the regulation requires you to be

Who this is for

Organisations in scope for NIS2. Companies deploying AI systems that will fall under the AI Act's higher-risk categories. Teams pursuing or maintaining ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Anyone who has received an audit finding and needs it closed properly rather than papered over.
