Standards and frameworks

OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) — V8 (Data Protection) and V1 (Architecture) requirements apply to memory isolation and access controls. NIST AI RMF — Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions apply to memory system risk management. ISO/IEC 27001 — Information security controls for data integrity and access management are directly applicable to agent memory stores.
