THE kyABCD FRAMEWORKTrust through verification
Clarity at every layer.People. Processes. Evidence.

THE QUESTION EVERY LEADER SHOULD ASK

Do you know where AI
is being used in your business?

AI adoption often happens faster than oversight. A new assistant, an external agent or a document shared with the wrong tool can introduce risks your existing controls never anticipated.

01

Unseen toolsShadow AI and unclear ownership.

02

Exposed informationSensitive data and intellectual property.

03

Unverified decisionsUnknown sources and incomplete evidence.

FOUR AREAS. ONE CONNECTED FRAMEWORK.

Get to know
your ABCDs.

Bring the same discipline to every relationship and every decision. Explore the four areas that make up the kyABCD verification framework.

AKYA

Know Your
Agents & Actors

Understand the AI agents and people acting on your behalf. Define what they can access, what they can do, and who is accountable.

Explore the focus areas
  • AI tool and agent inventory
  • Permissions and human oversight
  • Ownership and safeguards
BKYB

Know Your
Business

Build confidence in suppliers, contractors and partners. Bring verification and due diligence into your business relationships.

Explore the focus areas
  • Business legitimacy and ownership
  • Sanctions and geographic exposure
  • Partner and supply chain risk
CKYC

Know Your
Customer

Understand who you serve and the risk each relationship brings. Support customer validation with appropriate, repeatable checks.

Explore the focus areas
  • Identity and beneficial ownership
  • Risk screening and review cycles
  • Source of funds or wealth, where relevant
DKYD

Know Your
Data & Documents

Know where information came from, who is responsible for it, and whether it has changed before it informs your business or AI.

Explore the focus areas
  • Data provenance and responsibility
  • Document integrity and change detection
  • Evidence for business and AI processes

FROM AWARENESS TO ACTION

A clear way forward.

Start with your people and your current processes. Build a governance approach your teams can understand and use.

01 / UNDERSTAND

AI literacy & team development

Help leaders and employees understand how AI tools work, where their limitations lie, and how to use them responsibly. Connect learning to the decisions your teams make every day.

02 / ASSESS

Exposure & governance assessment

Map the tools, processes and relationships in your business. Identify gaps in visibility, ownership and control across the four kyABCD areas.

03 / ESTABLISH

Safeguards & controls

Define tracking, accountability and evidence requirements. Explore digital fingerprinting and blockchain records to help your organization detect changes and verify integrity.

04 / IMPLEMENTATION

Verification

Protect your organization with AI aligned kyABCD tools. Shape the future AI evolution asessing the risks that impact your organization.

MAKE TRUST CHECKABLE

Evidence you
can come back to.

Digital fingerprints give documents and data a reference you can check. Blockchain records can help preserve that reference and make later changes detectable.

The kyABCD approach combines this evidence with clear responsibility and informed human oversight.

THE VERIFICATION APPROACH

  1. 1

    Identify the source

    Establish where the information came from and who owns it.

  2. 2

    Create a digital fingerprint

    Generate a cryptographic hash of the specific data or document.

  3. 3

    Record the reference

    Use a blockchain record to anchor the fingerprint for future checks.

  4. 4

    Check for change

    Compare a later fingerprint with the recorded reference.

An integrity check helps detect changes. Source validation and human review establish whether the original information is trustworthy.
