IT & Compliance Governance

IT complianceacross every system

The same access-governance engine that reaches SaaS, legacy, and non-API environments powers IT compliance: access reviews, asset lifecycle, infrastructure drift, offboarding SLA, and immutable audit proof.

The Problem

Controls exist on paper. Enforcement doesn't.

Access reviews are a quarterly fire drill

Spreadsheets get exported, emailed around, and reconstructed from memory. Nobody can say with confidence who currently has access to what.

Infrastructure drifts silently from policy

A server config or cloud resource changes outside your change-control process, and nobody notices until the next audit — or the next incident.

Equipment nobody can account for

Laptops and hardware get issued, transferred, and retired off the books. When an auditor asks for the asset register, it doesn't match reality.

Legacy and on-prem systems are invisible

Modern compliance tools only cover SaaS with APIs. Your on-prem apps, shared folders, and custom systems stay outside the control perimeter.

How Aptiwise Helps

Controls that enforce themselves

Access requests, infrastructure changes, and asset lifecycle events all route through the same governance engine — with every decision permanently recorded.

Access Control

ISO 27001-aligned access requests, routed and acknowledged

System and data access requests flow through owner approval and an explicit acknowledgement step before anything is granted — turning your access-control policy into the only path to actually getting access. The same engine reaches SaaS, legacy, on-prem, and non-API systems.

  • Owner approval plus a separate acknowledgement-of-responsibility step
  • Role-based routing to the correct system owner
  • Every grant timestamped and tied to a named requester

Infrastructure Monitoring

Scheduled drift & backup checks that open an approval, not just a log line

Cron-triggered checks scan your DigitalOcean and GCP infrastructure on a schedule. When a resource changes outside expected state, it doesn't just get logged — it routes to the right owner for sign-off.

  • Scheduled DriftWatch checks across cloud droplets & servers
  • Automated backup-audit workflows with pass/fail routing
  • Server discovery flags untracked resources for review
Asset Registry

Equipment lifecycle with orphan-asset detection built in

Equipment requests, registration, and retirement all go through approval and land in a single registry. A dedicated check flags assets with no current owner before they become an audit finding.

  • Approval-gated equipment requests, registration & retirement
  • Scheduled orphaned-asset detection across the registry
  • Full history from issue to retirement, tied to each employee

Audit & Reporting

A hash-chained log auditors don't have to take your word for

Every submission, approval, rejection, and escalation is written to a SHA-256 hash-chained audit log — each entry links to the last, so any tampering breaks the chain and is immediately detectable.

  • Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log
  • Six drill-down compliance reports, exportable to CSV
  • Actor identity, IP address, and event data on every entry

Lead Use Case
