Axis

Compliance across every entity, without the spreadsheet sprawl.

One framework is a project. Several, across every entity, is a full-time job.

Managing one compliance framework is a project with an end date. Managing SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR at once, across several of your own entities, turns into a standing reconciliation job: which control is evidenced where, which entity is covered, what is still open, what went stale. Axis is the workbench a business uses to run its infosec compliance program end to end, across every entity it answers for: intake, discovery, scoping, gap analysis, remediation, and ongoing management, collapsed into one product with a structured data model, an intelligence pipeline doing the analytical heavy lifting, and a tight loop between findings and the remediation that closes them. The compliance program, modeled as a product.

How it differs

Spreadsheet compliance trackers store controls in one workbook, evidence in a shared drive, gaps in a status doc, remediation in a project plan, and risks in a register that is three weeks stale. Axis treats all of these as linked records. A gap finding knows which control it came from, which discovery answer surfaced it, which evidence is missing, and which remediation items will close it. Nothing reconciles by hand.

Enterprise GRC platforms are overbuilt for one large internal team running a single program: heavy, configurable to the bone, and priced for the enterprise. Axis is right-sized for a business running compliance across several of its own entities, divisions, and frameworks at once. Multi-entity, multi-framework is the default.

Compliance automation tools pull telemetry from cloud accounts and prove controls are working. Axis sits one layer above. It is what the business uses to assess where each entity stands, identify what is missing, and direct the work. Axis can ingest evidence from those tools but never relies on programmatic pulls from your systems.

Who it’s for

Compliance officers and program managers running SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR, HIPAA, or MVSP programs across one or more entities.

In-house compliance officers and program managers juggling multiple framework certifications and tracking policies through their lifecycle.

Audit teams and internal auditors working through the evidence vault with every item traceable to the control it satisfies.

Security analysts and risk managers maintaining a risk register linked to the controls and entities that mitigate them.

Operations and risk leadership wanting portfolio-level visibility across every entity’s compliance posture.

What it does

Four-pass gap analysis on every assessment. Pass one is control-level evidence review: for every in-scope control, the pipeline reads discovery answers, evidence items, and policy instances, then produces an assessment of where the customer stands. Pass two is gap classification with severity scoring. Pass three is the prose synthesis (plain-English finding, current state, real-life example, non-remediation impact, remediation instructions) plus the next-step lists. Pass four is portfolio synthesis. Each pass is independently re-runnable.

Three-pass overlap analysis across frameworks. When an entity is already SOC 2 compliant and adds ISO 27001, much of the work is already done. ControlMapping records carry pre-seeded equivalences with strength tiers (exact, partial, related). The overlap pipeline walks the existing certified controls, projects them onto the new framework, and tells you what is covered, what is partial, and what is genuinely new work.

Bubble isolation in the shared kernel. Every entity has a bubble_key that scopes every intelligence call, retrieval query, and audit log row. A business running compliance across twenty of its own entities gets twenty isolated worlds.

How it fits the ecosystem

Axis cross-references the rest of the platform. Discovery answers can pull from a Concierge call transcript. Policies live in OS as knowledge bytes and SOPs; when an Axis remediation item requires a new policy, the request hands off to Foundry. Risks link to Orbit contacts. Reports render through Foundry against the live Axis data with the customer’s brand kit applied.
