How to use NIST and ISO frameworks to govern AI agents

The report recommends treating AI agents as distinct machine identities and applying the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001 to govern their lifecycle, access, and behavior. It emphasizes inventory and ownership, bounded intent and scoped permissions, continuous observability and measurement, revocable short-lived credentials, auditability of agent actions, and adapting IAM from human-centric controls to an agent-first model to manage autonomy and privilege at machine speed.
