Small, serious, and protocol-oriented

A Canadian technology company building trust infrastructure for synthetic intelligence.

About EPICORTEK

EPICORTEK Technologies Inc. builds infrastructure for trusted synthetic intelligence: AI agents, autonomous workflows, and non-deterministic systems.

Our work focuses on the trust layer that synthetic systems require — the infrastructure that enables them to identify themselves, validate the authenticity of their requests, operate under enforceable policy, and be audited.

We are founder-led and protocol-oriented. Our primary public work is AgIS, an open protocol specification and reference implementation for agent verification and governance. We also contribute conformance framework direction through ABDS/AUSF.

EPICORTEK Technologies Inc. was founded by Rizk Ayoub, the public and professional name of Rizkallah Ayoub, his legal and research name. He created and initially architected AgIS, the Agent Identity System.

We are a small team. We do not exaggerate our stage, scale, or maturity. All public work is presented with accurate status labels.

Our focus areas

  • Identity & Verification

    Turning agent identity evidence into enforceable trust decisions.

  • Policy Control

    Formal enforcement of what agents may request, delegate, and access.

  • Context Governance

    Defining and enforcing scope, boundaries, and workflow semantics.

  • Observability

    Visibility into what agentic systems are doing and how they are behaving.

  • Audit & Evidence

    Reproducible records that support review, accountability, and compliance.

Trust infrastructure stack

EPICORTEK's work maps to a layered infrastructure model. AgIS operates at the Identity & Verification layer. ABDS/AUSF — which defines the Agent User Story and transforms it into engineering-grade specifications — contributes to the Context Governance layer.

  1. Identity & Verification

    AgIS — Agents prove who they are and that requests are authentic.

  2. Policy Control

    Enforced rules governing what agents may request, delegate, or access.

  3. Context Governance

    ABDS/AUSF — Agent User Story definitions, behavioral specifications, and governance documentation.

  4. Observability

    Signal collection, entropy detection, and operational state visibility.

  5. Audit & Evidence

    Immutable records, deterministic test vectors, and reviewable artifacts.

How we work

Evidence-first

We do not publish claims we cannot support. Every artifact has a status label. Every status label is honest.

Protocol-oriented

Our work is designed to be open, interoperable, and reviewable. We publish specifications before implementations where possible.

Precision over scale

We solve specific, hard problems in the agentic trust domain rather than building broad platforms with undifferentiated claims.

Small and serious

We are a small team working on foundational problems. We do not inflate our size, funding stage, or market position.

How EPICORTEK engages

Pilots are available for qualified organizations with a defined test environment. EPICORTEK does not engage through general sales, feature trials, or freemium access.

Qualified pilots

Direct collaboration with teams deploying agent identity, policy control, observability, or audit in a controlled test environment. Engagement includes architecture review, integration support, and documented outcomes.

Architecture review

Structured review of an organization's agentic system architecture against the EPICORTEK trust stack: identity, policy, context governance, observability, and audit.

Protocol implementation support

Support for organizations implementing AgIS or ABDS/AUSF in their infrastructure. Includes specification interpretation, conformance guidance, and test vector validation.

Applied R&D collaboration

Research collaboration with academic institutions and government bodies working on trusted autonomous systems, AI governance, and verification infrastructure.

Government and regulated-sector evaluation

Evaluation engagements for public sector, critical infrastructure, and regulated-sector organizations assessing EPICORTEK's trust infrastructure for their operating environment.

Where EPICORTEK fits

EPICORTEK does not replace agent frameworks such as orchestration, workflow, or model tooling. It focuses on identity, policy, evidence, observability, and audit around agentic systems.

The EPICORTEK trust stack sits between agentic systems and the infrastructure, services, and data they interact with — providing the verification, governance, and audit layer that those systems require to operate in accountable and controllable ways.
