CISOs of 100–500 person SaaS
Pursuing or maintaining SOC 2 and ISO 27001, adding ISO 42001 because the board read about the AI Act, tired of paying Vanta-class prices for screenshot-and-attest workflows.
Argitron makes SOC 2 and ISO 27001 an automated outcome of how your team already works — not a parallel project. One self-hosted binary runs your ISMS, AIMS, and ITSM on the same data model, so the controls execute themselves and the audit evidence writes itself.
Free under 25 assets, forever. No credit card. No sales gate. Production use OK.

What "compliance copilot" means
Most GRC tools attest after the fact. Argitron sits inside the work, applies the controls automatically, and emits framework-tagged evidence as you go.
Access reviews, vulnerability scans, change approvals, vendor risk — executed on a schedule, with cryptographically-signed evidence pinned to the SOC 2 criterion or ISO 27001 control they satisfy.
One command produces the evidence pack auditors actually accept: SoA, risk treatment plan, control matrix, signed bundles. No screenshot Olympics, no quarter-end fire drills.
A change request satisfies SOC 2 CC8.1, ISO 27001 A.8.32, and ITIL change enablement at the same time, on the same record. Map controls once, not five times.
Runs as a single binary inside your VPC. Your data never leaves the perimeter. IPv6 + TLS 1.3 by default. Cosign-signed releases. Reproducible builds.
Why Argitron exists
The compliance-automation category sells the appearance of governance: screenshots, checklists, slack-bot reminders. That works until an auditor opens a control and asks 'show me how you actually run this.'
SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, ITIL 4, and your project portfolio are not five different conversations. They are one operating system: people doing work, decisions being made, controls being applied, evidence being generated.
Argitron is built the other way around. Run the management system properly — PDCA, change enablement, project stage gates, AI lifecycle, risk treatment — and the audit evidence writes itself.
Tools that attest tell your auditor what you claim. Argitron runs the operating system, and the evidence is the byproduct.
| Compliance-automation category | Argitron |
|---|---|
| Collects evidence of claims you make | Runs the management system; evidence is the byproduct |
| SaaS, US-hosted, your data leaves your VPC | Single binary in your infrastructure; data never leaves |
| Compliance only — buy ITSM and PM separately | ISMS + AIMS + ITIL + PM on one data model |

What's in the binary
A control isn't a row in a Vanta tab and a Jira issue and a JSM ticket. It's one record, with one history, that satisfies every framework that maps to it.
At a glance
Honest scope. We tell you what's solid, what's young, and what's on the roadmap.
The dates that drive board agendas
Most ISO 42001 conversations start because the board is reading a regulatory deadline. Argitron ships the AIMS controls and AI-system inventory you'll need to demonstrate.
Social scoring, manipulative AI, untargeted face-image scraping. AI literacy obligations apply to providers and deployers.
Transparency, technical documentation, training-data summary. Penalty regime activates: up to €35M or 7% of global turnover.
Risk management, data governance, technical documentation, logging, human oversight, conformity assessment, post-market monitoring.
High-risk AI in regulated products (medical devices, machinery). GPAI models predating Aug 2025 must be fully compliant.

Who buys Argitron
Pursuing or maintaining SOC 2 and ISO 27001, adding ISO 42001 because the board read about the AI Act, tired of paying Vanta-class prices for screenshot-and-attest workflows.
Want ITIL 4 incident, problem, change, request, CMDB, SLA — without an 18-month implementation. Self-hosted, modern data model, API-first.
PMBOK / PRINCE2 governance over agile delivery. Want stage gates, RAID logs, capacity planning — and project risks that aggregate into the enterprise risk register the auditor reads.
"Every governance tool I've bought asked me to recreate work that was already happening somewhere else — Jira, the CMDB, a spreadsheet. Argitron is the first one where the work and the evidence are the same record."
