Publishes framework for vendor-neutral standards for agentic AI deployment in regulated industries

WINDSOR, Conn.: SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced the publication of its Enterprise AI Governance Framework, calling on the industry to adopt open standards for the deployment of agentic AI in regulated environments. The framework reflects growing demand for open, portable AI deployment standards across enterprises as use of AI agents grows.

“SS&C specializes in helping complex regulated organizations automate their operations. As enterprises deploy AI at scale, they need to be able to freely build, adapt, change and reconstruct AI workflows in accordance with their governance policies,” said Rob Stone, Head of Intelligent Automation and Analytics. “What's missing is a shared framework for how enterprises manage and evolve AI workflows at scale - one that works across models, platforms, and vendor relationships. We look forward to developing these standards alongside industry participants.”

While existing standards such as NIST and ISO 42001 provide important guidance on AI risk management and data governance, they do not directly address the operational complexity of deploying AI agents at enterprise scale. As enterprises move toward autonomous, multi-step AI workflows, there is a growing gap in how these systems are operationalized, managed, and governed in production.

SS&C’s framework is intended to address that gap directly, with principles covering:

Portability: the ability to replace any model, tool, or workflow component without rebuilding the systems around it

Build-time auditability: a permanent record at every workflow node’s design, including decisions, alternatives, and approvals

Runtime observability: continuous monitoring of what the system does in production, compared against intended design

Data sovereignty: geographic and regulatory constraints on data processing from design through execution

Operational resilience: pre-validated alternatives at every node to ensure model deprecations, provider changes, or contract restrictions do not cascade into system-wide failures

SS&C is establishing a working group to develop these standards further. Enterprises, regulators, and industry participants interested in joining are invited to contact us at ai.framework@sscinc.com A formal working group structure will be announced in Q2.
