The platform performs continuous adversarial testing against a client's AI agents, identifying unregistered agents, intercepting risky instructions, and flagging anomalous behavior. The piece frames the need through South African governance instruments (King V, Joint Standard 2, Popia, Cybercrimes Act) that already apply to AI agents despite no dedicated AI law, and promotes a free OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications compliance mapping tool on NEWORDER's website. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What existing South African laws apply to AI agents even though there is no dedicated AI law? King V, Joint Standard 2 of 2024, Popia, and the Cybercrimes Act 19 of 2020 all already apply to AI agents without mentioning AI by name. King V holds boards accountable for technology oversight from financial years starting 1 January 2026, Joint Standard 2 requires documented control testing for financial firms since 1 June 2025, Popia restricts automated decisions with significant effects on people, and the Cybercrimes Act covers unlawful access regardless of whether a human or an agent triggered it. _daily.dev helps security teams track which compliance frameworks apply to their AI agent deployments._ ### What is the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications and when was it published? It is a list of the ten attack vectors an attacker can use to turn AI agents against the organization running them, published by the OWASP GenAI Security Project in December 2025. It serves as a free benchmark organizations can test their AI agent estate against without needing a vendor's proprietary methodology. _Developers securing AI agent deployments follow emerging OWASP guidance via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Lasso Security Adds Ability to Track AI Agent Behavior](https://daily.dev/posts/lasso-security-adds-ability-to-track-ai-agent-behavior-jrkwnulfy) · Security Boulevard · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [South Africa ‘isn’t ready’ for AI-accelerated cyberattacks](https://daily.dev/posts/south-africa-isn-t-ready-for-ai-accelerated-cyberattacks-l8jvroeh9) · TechCentral · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The Popia problem with agentic AI](https://daily.dev/posts/the-popia-problem-with-agentic-ai-m3rj6rfzn) · TechCentral · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#compliance](https://daily.dev/tags/compliance), [#prompt-injection](https://daily.dev/tags/prompt-injection) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/neworder-brings-lasso-s-ai-agent-controls-to-south-africa-qh54timzx) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"NEWORDER brings Lasso’s AI agent controls to South Africa","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/neworder-brings-lasso-s-ai-agent-controls-to-south-africa-qh54timzx","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/neworder-brings-lasso-s-ai-agent-controls-to-south-africa-qh54timzx"},"datePublished":"2026-09-01T07:54:00.987Z","dateModified":"2026-09-01T08:00:34.689Z","description":"NEWORDER, a Pretoria-based managed cybersecurity firm, has partnered with Tel Aviv's Lasso Security to offer agentic AI security testing in South Africa.
