AI-native foundation

The capabilities that set Aegis apart are the ones where AI does the work, not just the storage.

CapabilityWhat it does
Security assessment & scopingTen sections of questions decide which control families and policies apply, with a reason for each decision, and record a readiness baseline per family
Program materializationFrom your submitted assessment, generates your controls, policies, evidence backlog, risk register and vendor list, scoped and mapped to your frameworks
Document Vault analysisReads the documents you upload and suggests vendors, risks, organisation facts and assessment answers, each with a verified quote, for a person to approve
Assessment by agentYour MCP assistant proposes assessment answers under server-enforced rules; nothing counts until a person confirms it
Context-aware policy authoringWrites full policies around your real cloud, data types, workforce and residency, not generic templates
AI risk-to-control mappingMatches each risk to the controls that mitigate it and drafts treatment tasks
AI vendor assessmentsProduces a scored risk assessment for each vendor automatically
Questionnaire automationExtracts questions from a customer questionnaire and drafts grounded answers
Compliance assistantAn in-product "Ask AI" for questions about your program

Frameworks & controls

Multi-framework support

SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, NIST CSF, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, GDPR, DPDP, HIPAA, PCI DSS and more.

Shared-control model

One control satisfies requirements across many frameworks; work and evidence count everywhere.

Control library

Owned, mapped, evidence-backed controls with live status and framework roll-up.

Live coverage

Real-time completion percentage per framework, derived from shared controls.

Policies

CapabilityDetail
AI-drafted policiesFull documents written in your organization's context
VersioningAuthoritative current version with retained history
Approval workflowDraft → needs review → published; every publication is accepted by the assigned approver, published text is frozen and changes go through a new version, enforced by the API
Editor and PDFRich in-place editor, or upload an externally signed PDF
AttestationRequire employees to read and sign the policies that apply to them
Control mappingPolicies map to controls, so policy work advances your program

See Policies.

IntegrationsIdentity, cloud, source control, HR, security and analytics as evidence sources
Cloud testsActive posture checks against AWS Security Hub, GCP Security Command Center and Azure
Documents checklistStandalone artifacts (pen-test report, minutes, diagrams) tagged by framework
Document VaultUpload existing policies, vendor lists, risk registers and diagrams; review and apply what Aegis finds in them. See Document Vault
Evidence exportHand an assessor a complete package, or give them the auditor view
