AI Governance Verified -- A Cryptographic Verification Standard for Agentic AI Governance in Regulated Industries

This document specifies a verification standard for the cryptographic attestation of agentic AI governance in regulated industries. It defines the Verification Reconciliation Object (VRO), the issuing- partner framework, the eight control areas through which AI governance posture is reconciled, three maturity-attestation levels (Documented, Operational, Adversarial-ready), and the cryptographic continuity requirements that together produce deterministic, independently reconstructable, auditor-grade attestations of agentic AI governance. The standard sits beneath ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and other agentic AI governance frameworks, and produces the verifiable artefact those frameworks were designed to imply but do not deliver.
