Rules-to-code turns ambiguous legal text into discrete pass/fail criteria — the unit tests your compliance function never had. We run them against your evidence and tell you exactly where you stand, scored by article and ready for a regulator to inspect.
Most mid-market regulated firms still manage compliance in spreadsheets — relying on consultant opinions rather than structured evidence, and unable to answer the one question a regulator will actually ask: show me your proof.
Every engagement is fixed-fee and fixed-scope. You know exactly what you are getting before we start.
We apply our rules-to-code methodology to a single regulation — translating legal text into discrete, testable obligations. We run your evidence against every requirement and return a scored conformance report, pass/fail by article, ready for a regulator to inspect.
End-to-end conformance testing across multiple regulations in a single engagement. Scope is tailored to the frameworks your firm needs to prioritise — whether that is DORA, the EU AI Act, NIS2, GDPR, FCA Consumer Duty, or a combination. Includes full AI system inventory and risk classification where relevant.
A retained monthly engagement as your fractional AI Governance Adviser — board reporting, quarterly re-testing, and oversight of new AI deployments.
For firms deploying AI agents: we design the governance wrapper — oversight thresholds, tamper-evident logging, and a persistent registry, powered by Aegis Kernel.
Our rules-to-code test suites are built for the regulations that matter most to European regulated firms right now.
Rules-to-code turns regulatory text into discrete, testable criteria — the equivalent of unit tests for your compliance function.
We decompose each obligation into a discrete, testable criterion — pass/fail, with a defined evidence requirement. Every article, made testable.
You provide policies, system documentation, contracts, and logs. AI-assisted analysis compresses three weeks of manual review into three to five days.
Conformance score by chapter. Each gap risk-rated Critical / High / Medium / Low with a specific remediation recommendation. Board-presentable. Regulator-ready.
We fix what we find. Quarterly re-testing tracks progress. Aegis Kernel provides the persistent governance layer for firms that want ongoing assurance.
