Cursor earns AIUC-1 certification for agent security and reliability

Cursor reports achieving AIUC-1 certification after an independent audit and adversarial testing of its organizational controls and AI coding agents, positioning the certification as evidence of agent security, safety, and reliability for enterprise use. Developed with contributions from Fortune 500 security leaders, MITRE, the Cloud Security Alliance, and Stanford researchers, AIUC-1 adapts established AI risk and threat frameworks to test live systems on areas including secret protection, secure code generation, MCP security, permissions, and responses to unsafe or destructive requests. Schellman audited Cursor’s governance and controls, while evaluators tested its IDE and cloud agents across thousands of benign and adversarial scenarios involving rules, hooks, Auto-review, insecure code, unsafe commands, and data deletion. Cursor states that its safeguards passed two testing rounds and that continued certification will require quarterly tests and annual full audits as both the product and standard evolve. The company also cites SOC 2 Type II, penetration testing, a bug bounty program, and work toward ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 as parts of its broader security program.
