Enterprise AI Agent Deployment

Two practitioner frameworks for teams deploying AI agents in regulated environments — from first deployment controls to full conformity, red teaming, observability, and training infrastructure.

These are not principles documents. They are deployment control systems.

FairByDesign’s Enterprise AI Agent Deployment Playbook is built for organizations deploying AI agents that can take actions, call tools, write to systems, trigger workflows, and create real operational risk. The first book gives you the control architecture, release gates, evidence requirements, and oversight model to govern a deployment properly.

The Second Edition extends that foundation into full program infrastructure: EU AI Act conformity assessment, Annex III deployment guidance, adversarial testing, MITRE ATLAS operational mapping, OpenTelemetry implementation, supply chain governance, and EAAD training materials.

First Edition

Enterprise AI Agent Deployment Playbook

Deploying AI Agents in Regulated Environments

By Viktoria Bakos | Published by FairByDesign

You’re deploying autonomous AI into systems designed for human operators. This is your governance manual.

Built for teams deploying AI agents that can act without asking permission first — tool calls, system writes, customer communications, database changes, and workflow triggers. This playbook turns regulatory and framework language into implementable controls with release gates, evidence requirements, and reviewer-verifiable accountability.

Includes:

Twenty-five chapters across nine parts. Two deployment scenarios. A four-gate release framework. A five-layer control stack. Human System Owner model. STRIDE threat model for agents. MCP governance. Agent memory security. Regulatory mapping. Bias monitoring metrics. Privacy by design checklist. Model card template.

Best for: Security architects, AI engineers, compliance leads, privacy officers, and CISOs who need the complete argument and core control architecture to govern one agent deployment properly.

Second Edition

Enterprise AI Agent Deployment Playbook

Expanded for conformity, adversarial testing, and training infrastructure

By Viktoria Bakos | Published by FairByDesign

The complete system for organizations that need to deploy, test, monitor, assess, and defend AI agents under active regulatory pressure.

This edition extends the playbook into a full enterprise governance system. It adds conformity assessment support, high-risk category guidance, adversarial testing methodology, MITRE ATLAS operationalization, AI supply chain governance, OpenTelemetry observability, and EAAD training materials.

Second Edition adds:

EU AI Act conformity assessment. Annex III deployment guide. General-purpose AI model obligations. AI red teaming methodology. Adversarial testing playbook with payload examples. MITRE ATLAS operational mapping. Supply chain risk management. OpenTelemetry implementation. EAAD training materials.

Practitioner tools included:

EU AI Act Conformity Assessment Workbook. EAAD Participant Workbook. Red Team Scenario Library. Team Workshop Sprint support. Implementation clinic patterns. Gate evidence checklists.

Best for: Team leads building a governance program, enterprise security architects, compliance leaders preparing for EU AI Act enforcement, and organizations that need more than a book — they need the operating system around it.

Which one is right for you?

One is the complete foundation for governing an agent deployment. The other extends it into conformity, testing, monitoring, and team capability-building.

Start with the right level of seriousness

If you need to govern one agent deployment properly, start with the First Edition. It gives you the complete control architecture, release logic, traceability model, and core artifacts.

If you need to prepare for high-risk enforcement, conduct conformity work, run adversarial testing, train your team, and demonstrate continuous oversight backed by evidence, the Second Edition is the complete system.

Both editions share the same operational foundation. The Second Edition does not replace the first. It extends it into full enterprise deployment governance.
