Validate that agents do not hallucinate compliance claims
Agents often invent GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC2 statements. Tests catch fabricated policies and misrepresentations that could create regulatory exposure.
What's at stake
- AI agents confidently state compliance claims that may not be accurate
- "We are GDPR compliant" or "This is HIPAA certified" may be fabricated
- Customers rely on these statements for procurement and risk decisions
- False compliance claims create legal liability and regulatory exposure
- A single fabricated compliance statement can derail an enterprise deal or trigger an investigation
How to solve this
Agents tasked with answering questions about your product or company will often hallucinate compliance claims. When asked "Are you SOC2 compliant?", the agent might confidently say "Yes" even if certification is still in progress.
These hallucinations are particularly dangerous because they create legal exposure. A customer who purchases based on a fabricated HIPAA claim has grounds for action. A regulator who discovers misrepresented compliance can impose penalties.
The solution is twofold: verify compliance-related outputs against your actual certification status, and proactively test your agents to identify which scenarios trigger fabricated claims.
How Superagent prevents this
Superagent provides guardrails for AI agents—small language models purpose-trained to detect and prevent failures in real time. These models sit at the boundary of your agent and inspect inputs, outputs, and tool calls before they execute.
For compliance accuracy, Superagent's Verify model can be configured to check compliance-related outputs against your verified status. You define what certifications you hold, what's in progress, and what's not applicable. Verify catches outputs that misrepresent your compliance posture.
Superagent's Adversarial Tests systematically probe your agents for compliance hallucinations. Tests ask about GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 27001, and other frameworks to identify which queries trigger fabricated claims. Results show exactly where your agents make false assertions.
Test results feed into your development process. You can update training data, add explicit guardrails, or modify agent behavior to prevent compliance hallucinations from reaching customers.
