Security, Trust & Governance – Placeholder Overview

Status: Placeholder content. This page will grow into The Registry’s primary entry point for security, trust, and governance topics.

The Security, Trust & Governance pillar recognizes that agentic commerce is not just about new protocols and feeds – it’s also about:

  • Identity and authentication for humans, organizations, and agents
  • Permissions and access control for tools and data
  • Fraud prevention and risk management
  • Policy, compliance, and oversight in regulated environments

This placeholder does not prescribe specific solutions. Instead, it marks where The Registry will:

  • Summarize relevant security and identity standards
  • Describe how different approaches show up in ACP, ACK, AP2, MCP-based systems, and related frameworks
  • Connect security and governance practices directly to ACRI™ readiness dimensions

Topics this section will cover later

When fully developed, this pillar is likely to include articles such as:

  • “Designing safe permission models for AI agents”
  • “Governance checklists for regulated industries adopting agentic commerce”
  • “How fraud and abuse patterns change when agents transact on behalf of users”

Each piece will aim to be:

  • Neutral with respect to vendors
  • Concrete enough for practitioners and regulators
  • Clearly linked to the other pillars of The Registry

Why this placeholder is in place now

For now, this page’s role is simple:

  • Anchor the security-trust-governance pillar tag
  • Allow us to test layouts, related-posts logic, and navigation
  • Provide a transparent signal that security and governance are first-class concerns, even while detailed content is still in development

As real guidance and examples are ready, they will replace this placeholder with substantive material.
