Agentic Research Compliance and Security

By Kevin, Founder & CEO

Enterprise adoption of agentic research requires passing security and compliance reviews that gate vendor onboarding. This guide covers the specific requirements that procurement, security, and legal teams evaluate — with User Intuition’s current compliance posture for each.

Data Architecture


Encryption

  • At rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data
  • In transit: TLS 1.3 for all data transmission
  • Key management: Hardware security modules for encryption key storage

Access Controls

  • SSO/SAML: Supported for enterprise identity providers
  • Role-based access: Configurable permissions per team and user
  • Audit logging: Complete trail of all data access, study creation, and hub queries
  • Multi-factor authentication: Required for all account access

Data Residency

Configurable data residency options for organizations with geographic data sovereignty requirements. Contact enterprise sales for region-specific deployment options.


Every agentic research study includes a consent framework that meets GDPR, HIPAA, and general research ethics requirements:

  1. Informed consent before participation begins (purpose, data use, rights)
  2. Right to withdraw at any point during the conversation
  3. Data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure) honored within required timelines
  4. Purpose limitation — data used only for the stated research purpose
  5. Retention limits — configurable per organization and per study

Procurement Checklist


Security teams evaluating agentic research platforms typically require:

  • ISO 27001 certification (or equivalent)
  • GDPR Data Processing Agreement
  • HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (if applicable)
  • SOC 2 Type II report (or bridge letter if in progress)
  • Penetration test results (available under NDA)
  • Subprocessor list (userintuition.ai/sub-processors)
  • Data flow diagram
  • Incident response plan
  • Business continuity plan
  • Encryption standards documentation

All items are available from User Intuition’s security team. Contact enterprise sales or email security@userintuition.ai to initiate the security review process.

Regulated Industry Considerations


Financial Services

Agentic research in financial services requires attention to consumer financial data handling, regulatory research disclosure requirements, and record retention policies. User Intuition’s encryption, access controls, and audit logging meet the standards required by major financial institutions.

Healthcare

HIPAA compliance covers the handling of any protected health information that may surface during AI-moderated conversations about healthcare experiences. Business Associate Agreements are available for healthcare research deployments.

Government and Public Sector

For government research applications, User Intuition supports FedRAMP-adjacent security controls. Contact enterprise sales for government-specific deployment options.

Starting the Security Review


For enterprise teams ready to evaluate:

  1. Request the security package — email security@userintuition.ai or contact your account representative
  2. Schedule a security architecture review — technical walkthrough with our security team
  3. Begin procurement in parallel — use the Starter tier ($0/month) while enterprise procurement is in progress

The Starter tier lets teams validate research quality and build the business case while the formal security review proceeds — reducing the time from evaluation to enterprise deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enterprise agentic research typically requires ISO 27001 (information security management), SOC 2 Type II (security controls), GDPR (European data protection), and HIPAA (for healthcare-adjacent research). Procurement teams at large enterprises check all four during vendor assessment, and missing any one certification can block a deal regardless of methodology quality.
User Intuition's security architecture is built to meet enterprise procurement requirements including ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 standards. Participant data is handled with purpose-limited consent frameworks, data minimization principles, and defined retention and deletion policies that satisfy both legal obligations and enterprise security reviews.
The procurement checklist should include certification documentation (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR DPA availability), data handling practices (where data is stored, encryption standards, access controls), participant consent framework (how consent is obtained and documented), breach notification procedures, and subprocessor lists (all third parties with data access). Enterprise security teams also commonly request a penetration test report.
Regulated industries require additional attention to data residency (where participant data is stored geographically), sector-specific consent language (HIPAA authorization versus standard research consent), and audit trail requirements (documented evidence that data handling matched the stated policy). Healthcare and financial services procurement teams often involve legal and compliance reviewers beyond the standard IT security review.
