Multi-Agent Compliance Automation
A compliance platform automated the assessment of 110+ NIST 800-171 regulatory controls using a multi-agent LLM architecture, validated through a research phase before full development.
The challenge
Compliance review against NIST 800-171 (110+ controls) was entirely manual. Security documentation was reviewed one document at a time. Gap analysis required subject matter experts for each control family. Reports were generated manually. The entire process was slow, expensive, and didn't scale.
What we built
We designed a multi-agent LLM architecture: Document Ingestion & Data Pipeline, Document Chunking & Feature Enrichment, a Routing Agent (classifying by compliance type), Specialized Compliance Agents (applying regulatory rules per control family), and a Gap Analysis & Reporting Agent (consolidating results). A research phase validated the architecture feasibility before committing to full development.
Outcomes
Regulatory controls assessed automatically
Architecture validated before full development commitment
From document upload to compliance report generation
Research validation plus production development
“The research phase proved the approach works before we committed to full development. That de-risking was critical.”
