## Executive summary This guide from Cerbos outlines an Authorization Maturity Model and practical 30/60/90-day plan for CISOs to make AI agents visible, auditable, and governable, emphasizing audit-trail completeness (per EU AI Act Article 12), per-hop delegation, scoped short-lived credentials, and a centralized policy decision point; it includes vendor questions, maturity stage definitions, pilot guidance, and positions Cerbos as an authorization layer to close compliance and governance gaps.
