Self-assessed control mappings

Compliance Without the Guesswork

Control-by-control mappings to the three frameworks your GRC team will ask about, so your auditor knows where to look.

To be clear about what this is: these are our own mappings, not certifications. CapiscIO holds no SOC 2 report and no ISO 27001 certificate, and no third-party audit has been completed. We would rather tell you that here than have you find out in procurement.

INTERNAL REVIEW

Hardened Through Internal Security Review

We conducted rigorous internal security evaluations simulating enterprise SecOps and DevOps review processes — covering the policy engine, audit pipeline, authentication boundaries, and cryptographic controls.

The result: dependency and static-analysis scanning that blocks the build on any unresolved finding, and SHA-256 supply chain verification across every distribution channel.

This was our own review, not an external engagement. It is not a substitute for a third-party audit, and we do not present it as one. What it does mean is that the areas below were deliberately attacked and the findings fixed.

What we hardened:

Authentication & SSO
OIDC integration, API key permissioning, enterprise auth pathways
Audit Event Pipeline
Guaranteed delivery for security events, backpressure controls, overflow recovery
Policy Engine Governance
Maker-checker approval workflows, resolution auditing, hierarchical policy resolution
Break-Glass Emergency Access
Scoped tokens, JTI replay protection, mandatory reason fields, separate signing keys
Supply Chain Integrity
SHA-256 binary checksums on all SDK downloads, tampered binary detection
Data Path Hardening
Decision cache invalidation, client-side encrypted draft storage, self-signed badge rejection

Compliance Framework Mappings

Detailed control-by-control mappings for the three frameworks enterprise GRC teams ask about most.

CC6 — Logical and Physical Access Controls

CC6.1
User Identity & Authentication
Trust Badge system (Ed25519 JWS), trust levels (DV/OV/EV), Key Ownership Proof
CC6.2
Authentication Mechanisms
API key auth, OIDC/SSO (Enterprise), Clerk (Cloud), multi-factor support
CC6.3
Authorization Controls
RBAC roles, per-endpoint permission middleware, API key scoping
CC6.6
System Boundary Protection
Gateway reverse proxy with badge enforcement, SSRF protection, policy engine
CC6.7
Data Classification & Protection
Policy YAML versioning, content hashing, client-side encrypted draft storage (AES-GCM)
CC6.8
Prevention of Unauthorized Changes
Maker-checker policy approval, proposal versioning, content hash integrity

CC7 — System Operations

CC7.1
Detection of Unauthorized Changes
Audit event pipeline, policy version tracking, resolution audit trail
CC7.2
Monitoring for Anomalies
Async event ingestion, break-glass usage alerts, Prometheus metrics
CC7.3
Evaluation of Security Events
Structured event types with severity classification (security/operational)
CC7.4
Incident Response
Break-glass override with replay protection, key rotation, incident runbook

CC8 — Change Management

CC8.1
Changes Are Authorized
Maker-checker workflow: proposal → approval → activation, role-gated
CC8.2
Infrastructure & Software Changes Controlled
Git-based deployment, CI/CD with automated testing, release order enforcement
CC8.3
Changes Tested Before Deployment
Unit tests, integration tests (PostgreSQL), E2E security tests

What Sets CapiscIO Apart

Architectural decisions that matter for enterprise security teams

Hierarchical Policy Resolution

Org → group → agent policy inheritance with per-scope overrides. Matches how regulated organizations actually manage security controls.

Gradual Enforcement Rollout

Observe → Guard → Strict enforcement modes. Start with telemetry-only, promote to enforcement when ready. No big-bang deployment.

Cryptographically Sound Foundation

Ed25519 JWS badges with proper expiry, key ownership proof, and revocation. No shared secrets. No weak algorithms.

Designed for how regulated organizations actually manage security controls
