Customers gain access to a growing library of more than 60 ready-to-use AI agents that run through the same control plane that already governs every human interaction with regulated data
SAN MATEO, Calif | September 16, 2026
Kiteworks, which empowers organizations to ensure regulatory compliance and effectively manage risk in every send, share, receive, and use of sensitive data, today announced the launch of the Kiteworks Agent Marketplace, a growing library of 60-plus ready-to-use AI agents that install directly into Claude and connect to a customer’s Kiteworks environment through the Kiteworks Secure MCP Server. Support for additional AI platforms, including ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, is coming soon. Available today, the Agent Marketplace gives Kiteworks customers a governed way to put agentic AI to work immediately, without the need to build security and compliance into an AI agent from scratch.
“Every organization wants the productivity of agentic AI. Almost none of them want to build the governance for it themselves,” said Tim Freestone, Chief Strategy Officer at Kiteworks. “The Kiteworks Agent Marketplace gives customers agents that already run through the same control plane that governs every human interaction with their data: the same access controls, the same audit trail, the same security architecture. Agents don’t get a side door around that governance. They get the one everyone else already trusts.”
A Governed Agent, Ready in Minutes, Not a Build Cycle
The Kiteworks Agent Marketplace currently offers over 60 agents and publishes new agents and updates automatically, spanning compliance checks across frameworks that include GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, CMMC, NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, DORA, NIS2, ITAR, EAR, and more; accessibility checks including WCAG and Section 508; and data governance and productivity agents covering document summarization, contract review, retention, and sharing audits. The marketplace is available today in English, German, Dutch, Hebrew, and Japanese.
Every agent in the marketplace connects through Kiteworks Secure MCP Server, so the same role-based and attribute-based access controls, encryption, and audit logging that already govern human access to Kiteworks data extend to every agent interaction. Credentials never enter the AI model’s context, and every agent operation is attributed to the authenticated user who authorized it, feeding the same audit trail as human activity. Kiteworks calls that guarantee Compliant AI: the same one policy engine, one audit log, and one security architecture that already protects human workflows, now covering agent workflows as well.
Agent and skill logic is published as open, human-readable definitions, so customers can review exactly what an agent does before they run it, request changes, or make these themselves. The Kiteworks Agent Marketplace launches with AI agents that install directly into Claude, with support for additional AI agents, including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Grok, and others, coming very soon.
“We built the Agent Marketplace so customers don’t have to choose between moving fast with AI and staying governed,” said Rick Goud, Field CTO at Kiteworks, and marketplace architect. “Every agent is open and reviewable. Customers can see exactly what it does, and when they want something changed, they can ask for it or do it directly themselves. That feedback loop is what lets us keep publishing improvements, agent by agent, instead of waiting on a release cycle.”
