AI for Enterprise Tech Controls

Testing one control today means multiple meetings, spreadsheets, and evidence requests to a team that has other things to do. Do that across everything you run, and the best anyone manages is 10% of their controls once a year.

Stance tests every control on every change, with evidence straight from what you run. When the next audit lands, the answer is already there.

~10% Sample Testing to 100% Continuous Assurance.

Stance proves which of your controls work, with evidence straight from the source. For the rest, it gives your engineers the exact code or config to fix them, using the tools you already run.

With Stance

Continuous Control Evaluation.

Evidence about your estate comes from many sources and cadences, some automated and some manual. Brought together in one place and kept current, it tells you your Stance at any time.

It reads everything you run.

Architecture diagrams, infrastructure as code, the newest AI platform, the fifty-year-old mainframe. Wherever the evidence lives, Stance can capture it.

Know what the auditor wants.

Stance is grounded in a knowledge graph of vendor manuals, benchmarks, and control frameworks, plus your own standards. That is how it knows what evidence a control requires and what a passing result looks like. It does not guess.

Start from wherever you are.

You do not need mature automation to begin. Stance wires up evidence from wherever it lives, a live API, a log stream, a screenshot, a computer-use agent, an RPA bot, and builds the test around it. The control gets tested whether your evidence is automated or manual.

See where you stand, and prove where you stood.

Live posture against every obligation: regulatory, industry, internal. Slice it by jurisdiction, criticality, data sensitivity, or any tag you define. Every test leaves a notarized record that outlives the state it described.

From Design to Audit, Stance has it covered.

Control testing feeds audits with proof, and audits surface design deficiencies to correct. Stance connects these stages so each hands its output to the next, completing the control lifecycle.

Frame your Stance.

A strong operating-effectiveness signal exposes more than the controls that fail. It reveals the ones that were never designed to satisfy the obligation. Stance helps you redesign the policy or control so it actually meets what it must.

Anytime Audit.

Once effectiveness is proven continuously, an audit against PCI-DSS, DORA, or any external standard stops being a fire drill. Stance runs the workflow and produces the report.

By the book. Literally.

Every judgment cites the benchmark, standard, framework, or test behind it, so you and your auditor can see why a control passed or failed. Stance validates its own outputs every day, so accuracy holds over time. And you set the level of human oversight, from sign-off on every call to review by exception.

Runs wherever your workloads run.

Stance installs into your own environment: your cloud, private, or hybrid. Your data, code, and evidence never leave it. Controls get tested where the workload actually lives today, including the on-prem and private estates that are hardest to move.
