For your auditor

Evidence collected while you work, ready before the audit.

Layered policies

HyperLocal's baseline, plus regime packs for SOC 2, PCI DSS and HIPAA, plus your own rules that can only tighten. Every value shows who set it.

Time-boxed exceptions

Waivers last 90 days at most, need an approver from another team, and land in the evidence as exceptions.

Audit engagements

Open an engagement for SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS or HIPAA. Approvals, commits, backups and control results become evidence automatically.

Evidence export

One package with a SHA-256 manifest of every item, plus time-boxed read-only seats for your auditors.

For your CISO

Isolation and identity, built in.

Tenant isolation

A namespace, Git repo, registry and deployment project per cell. Service mesh policy admits traffic only from the same cell.

Identity & MFA

A dedicated identity realm per tenant, Microsoft Entra ID federation, and MFA with TOTP, one-time codes or passkeys.

Every change reviewed

Designs pass an Architecture Review Board, and releases go through merge requests that a person merges.

Encryption at rest

Encrypted storage and encrypted database backups on Silver cells and above.

Per-cell keys & BYOK

Separate keys per cell, your own keys, and HSM-backed key options.

Security hub

Continuous control evaluation per production cell, with findings ranked by severity.

For your CFO

Prove the savings, too.

Every Build run is costed per agent and per model, and work is billed in credits you can forecast. Compare your current platform and licence spend with the TCO calculator.
