AEGIS

Continuous control assessment, evidence, readiness, findings and authorization-support workflows.

Executive summary

AEGIS addresses federal security & fedramp validation through evidence-backed security workflows and auditable operations.

Core capabilities

Federal control assessment
FedRAMP readiness workflows
Evidence traceability
Findings/POA&M workflows
Continuous control reporting

Operational model

The architecture separates presentation, application services, protected configuration and evidence/data storage. Integrations provide authoritative production telemetry.

Security principles

Least privilege
Server-side secret handling
TLS-protected interfaces
Auditable actions and evidence
Separation of management and protected data

Deployment

A hardened Ubuntu management server can operate behind Nginx with systemd-managed services, centralized identity, backup, monitoring and controlled integration endpoints.

TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE

Architecture considerations

A production evaluation should examine data sources, trust boundaries, identity, APIs, storage, administrative controls, evidence handling, reporting and failure modes.

Security review checklist

Authentication and authorization
Credential and secret storage
Encryption and transport security
Administrative auditability
Integration trust boundaries
Data retention and minimization
Export and reporting controls
Recovery assumptions

Evaluation success criteria

Success should be measured using workflow improvement, evidence quality, control effectiveness, usability, reporting value and integration reliability.
