Kovr.AI Launches Agent Artemis, the First Agentic AI for Cyber Compliance; Announces Strategic Investment from In-Q-Tel

The world’s most security-conscious enterprises can now leverage an autonomous compliance agent that connects their entire security ecosystem to generate any NIST-based artifact through natural conversation—all within a FedRAMP-authorized, Zero Data Retention environment

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Achieving compliance in defense and highly regulated industries has historically cost millions of dollars and taken years to complete. Agent Artemis changes the math. Kovr.AI’s agentic AI connects seamlessly to an organization’s cloud environments, cybersecurity toolchain, and compliance data—then generates any NIST-based artifact or attestation through natural conversation, all within a FedRAMP-authorized environment. The company simultaneously announced a strategic investment and technology development agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT), the not-for-profit strategic investor for the U.S. national security community.

Built on the Industry’s Most Complete Compliance Platform

Agent Artemis is the conversational intelligence layer built on Kovr.AI’s end-to-end compliance automation platform—already FedRAMP-authorized, currently deploying to the U.S. Air Force and Space Force, and trusted by organizations including Accenture Federal Services. At its core is Kovr’s patented AI-driven compliance mapping engine, which ingests evidence and artifacts from virtually any source—cloud infrastructure, code repositories, SBOMs, vulnerability scanners, and existing documentation—and automatically maps them to hundreds of security controls across NIST 800-53, CMMC, FedRAMP, and DoD SRG frameworks. This “build once, map anywhere” architecture allows organizations to implement controls for one framework and automatically satisfy equivalent requirements across others.

That foundation extends across the entire compliance lifecycle: continuous monitoring with hundreds of automated security checks across AWS, Azure, GCP, and GitHub; intelligent remediation clustering that consolidates thousands of raw findings into prioritized Plans of Action and Milestones; bi-directional JIRA integration that synchronizes compliance and engineering workflows in real time; and dynamic SSP generation that produces audit-ready documentation reflecting a system’s actual state—not a static template.

Agent Artemis: A Unified Interface to the Entire Compliance Enterprise

Agent Artemis makes all of that intelligence accessible through a single conversational interface. Rather than navigating dashboards and modules, users interact with their compliance data through natural language—asking Artemis to assess posture against a specific control family, generate a tailored policy for a new system boundary, draft remediation plans for open findings, or produce a complete System Security Plan. Every response is grounded in the full context of the organization’s connected environments and evidence repositories. Customer data is used strictly for runtime context and is never retained to train third-party models.

“With Artemis, you’re not just generating documents—you’re having a conversation with your entire compliance enterprise,” said Sri Iyer, Co-Founder and CTO of Kovr.AI and the architect of Agent Artemis. “Your cloud environments, your security tools, your evidence—it’s all connected. Ask for a policy, and it writes one that reflects what’s actually deployed. That’s the difference between agentic AI and a chatbot.”

“The two-year, $2 million compliance journey has been the single biggest barrier to innovation in the public sector,” said Andrew Black, Co-Founder and CEO of Kovr.AI. “Agent Artemis makes our entire platform’s intelligence accessible through a single conversation. With IQT’s partnership, we’re accelerating adoption where it matters most—across the national security community.”

Strategic Partnership with IQT

The investment sends a clear signal that there is a need to find better, faster, and more secure ways to quickly demonstrate compliance and get technology to mission faster.

“Kovr.AI has built a platform that can address real pain points for the national security community and its allies,” said Grant Whiting, Partner, IQT. “They have developed a solution that can help our government partners navigate the complex compliance landscapes with speed and security.”
