authID Inc. introduced its Mandate™ Framework on November 18 2025, a comprehensive governance model that ties autonomous and semi‑autonomous AI agents to a verified human sponsor through biometric‑rooted, cryptographically verifiable credentials issued at runtime and deleted immediately after use. The framework eliminates static, phishable tokens and delivers immutable audit trails for every agent‑initiated transaction, addressing the growing risk of AI‑driven fraud and data exfiltration.
The Mandate™ Framework builds on authID’s proprietary PrivacyKey technology, which converts facial images into a public‑private key pair without storing biometric data. By integrating with industry protocols such as OIDC, A2A, and MCP, the solution offers enterprises a single, standards‑aligned platform for controlling, monitoring, and revoking AI agent permissions across APIs, digital workflows, and multi‑agent ecosystems. The design also ensures that each credential is bound to a specific AI instance, preventing credential reuse and providing clear accountability.
From a market perspective, the launch targets large‑enterprise customers—FAT 100 and Fortune 500/100 firms—where stringent security and auditability requirements are paramount. The framework positions authID to capture a share of the expanding AI‑agent security market, which has been highlighted by recent high‑profile attacks that exploited compromised AI agents. By offering a privacy‑preserving, compliance‑ready solution, authID aims to accelerate adoption among enterprises that need to mitigate account takeover, deepfake‑enabled fraud, and unauthorized data access.
Financially, authID reported a net loss of $5.17 million on sales of $0.596 million for the third quarter of 2025, raising concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company’s revenue growth has been modest, and the loss reflects ongoing investments in product development and market expansion. Despite these headwinds, the Mandate™ Framework represents a strategic investment intended to generate new revenue streams and strengthen the company’s competitive position.
CEO Rhon Daguro emphasized the urgency of governance for AI agents, stating, “Enterprises are ready to let AI agents work, but not without a governance framework. The authID Mandate Framework is our blueprint for accountable Agentic AI.” Chief Product Officer Erick Soto added, “The Mandate Framework is designed to provide the necessary accountability and trust to enterprises through unphishable credentials bound to a real human and a specific AI agent instance.” These comments underscore authID’s focus on delivering a solution that meets both security and compliance demands while navigating current financial challenges.
