The problem

Where the time and money actually go.

Evidence collection is repetitive, screenshots and exports go stale, control mappings diverge across frameworks, and auditors ask for traceability.

Who feels it

GRC analysts, IT/security operations, HR, engineering and auditors

Trigger to act: SOC 2/ISO 27001/HIPAA/PCI/CMMC/NIS2/DORA work is active, audit dates are approaching, or a consultancy needs a repeatable client delivery engine.

Outcome & ROI

The result you can model before you sign.

Illustrative, replace with your data
$22,500
per month, illustrative

Illustrative only: 120 controls × 2.5 evidence hours per audit cycle × $75 loaded hourly cost = $22,500 capacity per cycle, excluding audit fees and remediation.

The outcome, plainly: Collect and map current evidence to named controls, identify gaps, and prepare an auditor-ready package with owners and timestamps.

How it works

Inputs in. A cited, review-ready result out. Your expert decides.

A Tool-using workflow agent. Every material fact is grounded in an allowed source and returned with its identifier, no invented data.

Claude Sonnet 4.6 or GPT-5.6 Terra for complex grounded work; select by task-level evaluation; Gemini 2.5 Flash, GPT-5.4 mini or Claude Haiku 4.5 for high-volume routing and drafting. PostgreSQL + pgvector or managed vector store; Policy rules and evaluator service.

  • Control requirement
  • system configurations
  • logs/reports
  • policies
  • tickets
  • training/access records
The human gate

AI-Native, not autonomous. Judgment stays with your people.

The machine does the work; the human’s role narrows to the one thing that matters, judgment. That constraint is what makes it safe to deploy.

Non-negotiable human gate

Control owners attest operation; compliance leaders approve mappings and exceptions; auditors independently evaluate sufficiency.

What it will never do
No certification or legal assurance
no auto-attestation
no claim that collected evidence proves operating effectiveness
framework scope is explicitly contracted.
The scorecard

A scorecard, not a demo. We baseline what breaks in production.

Every deployment ships with an evaluation suite. These are the numbers we baseline before launch and monitor after.

This implementation

Fixed-scope, tuned to your systems and rules, grounded in your data, with the human gate and audit trail built in from day one. A price you own, not a subscription you rent.

✓ Fixed price, not a seat subscription ✓ Grounded in your data & rules ✓ Human approval on consequential actions ✓ Auditable decision trace
Systems & integrations

It plugs into the stack you already run.

No rip-and-replace. Access is scoped to the minimum data necessary, isolated per tenant, and fully logged.

Pricing

Transparent by design. The build price buys the workflow and the proof.

A fixed implementation fee plus a monthly bill that scales with volume and governance. No hidden seats.

Why this is safe to try
01Baseline first. We measure your current numbers before we build anything.
02Fixed scope, fixed price. One process in the pilot. No open-ended engagement.
03Expand only if the scorecard earns it. You see the measured result before committing to production.
04Your people stay in control. The human gate means nothing consequential happens without a person’s approval.
FAQ

Questions serious buyers ask.

Does the AI act on its own?

No. Control owners attest operation; compliance leaders approve mappings and exceptions; auditors independently evaluate sufficiency. The system drafts and recommends; a human approves every consequential action. Explicitly excluded: No certification or legal assurance; no auto-attestation; no claim that collected evidence proves operating effectiveness; framework scope is explicitly contracted..

How do you stop it inventing facts?

Every material claim is grounded in an allowed source record and returned with its source identifier. The system separates observed facts, model inference, and missing information, and routes to a human whenever confidence is low, evidence conflicts, or an adverse outcome is possible.

What does it cost to run each month?

A usage bill of roughly $450–3,400/month (10,000–35,000 workflow runs/month with modest document and model usage), plus a $2,800/month managed retainer for evaluation, monitoring and maintenance. Your existing platform licenses are separate and already yours. Exact figures are confirmed during scoping.

Do we need a ChatGPT or Claude subscription?

No consumer ChatGPT or Claude subscription is required for the production workflow. The client needs an approved API/cloud billing account. Workspace seats are optional for internal prototyping and administrator access.

How is this different from Vanta?

Tools like Vanta, Drata, Secureframe are broad platforms you adapt to. This is a fixed-scope implementation tuned to your systems and rules, grounded in your data, with the human gate and audit trail built in, and a transparent price instead of a seat subscription.

How long until it’s live, and how do we prove it works?

This is a enterprise / regulated launch. We baseline “Evidence completeness” first, then measure against that baseline. You see the scorecard before expanding scope, the evaluation suite ships with the system, not as an afterthought.
