I build products on the belief that trust is earned in every design decision and every deployment. Trust has always been a first principle at Intercom, from our early investments in security and privacy to the globally recognized certifications that shape our approach today.
As AI becomes more deeply embedded in customer-facing work, it’s essential that businesses can rely on systems that are safe, reliable, and governed to the highest standards. That’s why we’re proud to share that Intercom is now AIUC-1 certified, becoming one of the first companies to meet the world’s first standard designed specifically for AI Agents. For leaders navigating AI Strategy and AI risk management, this is more than a badge—it’s a measurable leap forward in governance and operational rigor.
AIUC-1 is the first certification tailored to the unique risks and challenges of AI Agents. It complements broader AI governance frameworks like ISO 42001 by focusing on enterprise-specific concerns like security, customer safety, system reliability, data and privacy, society, and accountability. In practice, this alignment helps us translate policy into deployable safeguards across cybersecurity, data governance, and regulatory compliance.
To achieve certification, organizations undergo independent third-party audits and quarterly adversarial testing across more than a thousand enterprise risk scenarios. This continuous technical evaluation ensures that AI systems remain robust against fast-evolving threats and that safeguards keep pace with rapid progress in the field. As a product leader, I welcome this level of scrutiny—it’s how we operationalize threat detection and response and make agentic AI dependable at scale.
AIUC-1 itself evolves every quarter, incorporating new research, threat patterns, and global best practices. The standard is shaped by the AIUC-1 Consortium, launched in November with more than 50 founding members who collectively handle tens of trillions of dollars in payments and serve over a billion people daily. Intercom is proud not only to be certified, but to be recognized as a founding technical contributor helping shape the development of the standard. That continuous, community-driven iteration mirrors how we build—measure, learn, and harden—so our customers benefit from real-world, enterprise-ready AI.
Intercom has decades of combined experience in security, compliance, and trust, and we’ve consistently demonstrated that robust governance and fast innovation can coexist. Achieving AIUC-1 certification reinforces that the same rigor we apply across our platform also extends to Fin, our AI Agent. I’ve seen first-hand how risk and procurement teams evaluate generative AI: they expect clarity, evidence, and controls. This certification delivers independent proof that our approach meets those expectations.
For our customers, this certification provides independent validation that Intercom’s AI systems are safe, resilient, and enterprise-ready. It confirms that our AI is tested regularly, built with strong safeguards, and aligned with the expectations of modern security and risk teams. It also signals our continued leadership in shaping responsible AI practices globally, ensuring our customers benefit from standards built for real-world use. In short, you can move faster with confidence—without compromising on governance.
Intercom has always approached trust as an ongoing commitment. AIUC-1 strengthens the foundation we’ve built across other frameworks and certifications, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 27018, HIPAA, HDS, and ISO 42001. Together, these certifications create a comprehensive control fabric across privacy, security, and reliability—critical pillars for any enterprise deploying gen AI into production workflows.
As AI technology accelerates, we will continue to evolve our safeguards, deepen our governance practices, and contribute to the standards that shape responsible AI. Our promise is simple: to build AI that is not only powerful and efficient, but safe, transparent, and deserving of the trust our customers place in us. That’s how we turn innovation into durable value.
