Compliance & audit.

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 controls, evidence assembly and an immutable audit trail with provenance.

⊞ Identity & security
Overview

Turn compliance from a fire drill into a feature — mapped controls, automatic evidence assembly and an immutable, queryable audit trail that answers an auditor's “why” directly.

Compliance is a fire drill because the evidence is scattered.

The work in an audit isn't usually the controls — it's proving they were in place, every day, with evidence pulled from a dozen systems the week before the auditor arrives. Screenshots, exports, spreadsheets, a scramble. Aether collects the evidence continuously and maps it to the controls (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST), so the audit is a query against an always-current record rather than a month of preparation.

An immutable trail that answers 'why', not just 'what'.

The audit log isn't an afterthought; it's a tamper-evident record of every privileged action, with provenance that ties each result back to the data, the model version and the approval behind it. When an auditor — or an incident responder — asks why the system did something, the answer is a query, not an archaeology project. Because it's immutable, it's evidence, not a log that could have been edited.

On the platform, so the evidence is real, not asserted.

Most compliance tools sit outside your stack and ingest signals through connectors, attesting to what they're told. Aether's compliance runs on the same platform as the workloads, so the evidence is generated where the work happens — the access that occurred, the encryption that applied, the policy that blocked a deploy — not a second-hand claim. Controls map to real resources, and a gap is a fact about your estate, not a checkbox someone forgot to tick.

Worked example

Ask the audit trail a question and get an evidence-backed answer — not a folder of screenshots.

-- Who accessed customer PII last quarter, and was it encrypted?
SELECT actor, resource, action, encryption, model_version, ts
FROM   audit.events
WHERE  resource LIKE 'lake.customer_pii%'
  AND  ts >= '2026-04-01'
ORDER BY ts;            -- immutable, provenance on every row

Every row ties an action to who did it, whether encryption applied, and which model version was involved — collected continuously, on the platform, and immutable. The auditor's question is a query; the evidence was already there.

How it works

Three steps to running.

01
Map controls

SOC 2, ISO 27001 and NIST mapped to your resources.

02
Collect evidence

Continuously, instead of a screenshot hunt before the audit.

03
Answer 'why'

An immutable, queryable trail with provenance for every action.

What you get

Compliance & audit, in full.

Control mapping

SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST and more mapped to your resources.

Evidence assembly

Continuously collected evidence instead of a screenshot hunt.

Immutable audit

Tamper-evident trail of every privileged action.

Provenance

Every result traces to data, version and approval.

API-first

Provision it in a few lines.

Every service is reachable from the same SDK, CLI and infrastructure-as-code — one identity, one bill, one audit trail across the whole catalog.

Why one platform

On one model, not stitched together.

The usual stack runs compliance & audit in one product, the model in another and the data in a third — and the seams between them are the cost. Aether Cloud runs it on the same platform that serves the model, governs your identity and deploys into your boundary, with the rest of the catalog one hop away.

One platform

No stitching a vector DB to one place, a warehouse to another and a model to a third — compliance & audit sits next to the rest of the catalog, one identity, one bill.

The model is here

The provider that runs Aether runs your compliance & audit — so the data and the model never leave the same governed boundary to talk to each other.

Built on demand

Need a capability that isn’t here yet? The model writes and deploys it into the same boundary — the catalog is a starting point, not a ceiling.

FAQ

Good to know.

How does this compare to compliance-automation tools or compliance-automation tools?

Control mapping and continuous evidence — with an immutable audit trail that traces every result to its source.

Does it reduce audit prep?

Yes — evidence is collected continuously instead of scrambled together before each audit.

Can auditors trace decisions?

Yes — provenance answers 'why' directly for every action.
