New SD Elements capability makes security requirements clear, enforced, and auditable as AI writes more software

TORONTO: Security Compass today released SD Elements for Agentic AI Workflow, a groundbreaking new way for organizations to stay in control of security and compliance as AI becomes part of software development.

AI agents introduce an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate the velocity of software development, but concerns about security and compliance are holding back adoption in regulated industries. Emerging laws like EU Cyber Resilience Act increase the burden of security on software manufacturers. Using the SD Elements Agentic AI workflow, you can seamlessly incorporate expert-vetted, relevant security, compliance, and corporate policy requirements into the agentic development process and automatically validate their implementation. You get real evidence they’re being followed, whether code comes from a developer or an AI agent.

What makes SD Elements for Agentic AI Workflow different:

• Deterministic, policy-driven security: Security and compliance requirements are defined up front-not improvised by an AI-so every action is tied to your standards.
• No guesswork, just proof: Whether fully human, agentic, or somewhere in between, developers follow the same playbook. Every control is validated as code is produced, and you get audit-ready evidence-not just “AI did its best.”
• Requirements through to testing: SD Elements is the first platform to generate prescriptive security & compliance requirements and ensure they are tested automatically, providing end-to-end assurance.
• Full traceability: Key actions are tracked so you always know what was done, why, and by whom-whether that’s a person or an AI agent. You’re always audit-ready.
• Fits developer workflows: Requirements and guidance show up right in the tools developers and agents already use-like IDEs and AI coding assistants-without extra portals or process overhead.

Rohit Sethi, CEO of Security Compass, said:

“AI is changing how software gets built, but too many teams are letting the agent decide what ‘secure’ means. That’s a real risk. With SD Elements, you’re always in control-AI agents have to follow the rules you define, and you get the proof you need for audits and compliance. It’s a way to move fast with AI without letting security become a bottleneck or guessing game.”
