How does Aegis Invariant Kernel achieve sub-millisecond clearance latency?

Unlike probabilistic guardrails that call secondary LLMs or remote cloud APIs over the network, Aegis evaluates tool calls in-process using deterministic Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) parsing and mathematical invariant validation with zero network egress.

How does Aegis satisfy EU AI Act and SOC 2 Type II compliance requirements?

Aegis generates exportable GRC compliance dossiers with SHA-256 Merkle tree root hash verification (WORM compliant) mapped to the live EU AI Act Article 50 transparency obligations (in force since 2 August 2026), ISO/IEC 42001 and NIST AI RMF, plus the Articles 9-15 high-risk package (applicable December 2027), and SOC 2 Type II CC6/PI1 controls.

Q: How does Aegis protect Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool calls?

Aegis provides native MCP Tool Poisoning scanning that intercepts zero-width unicode injection, base64 payloads, and homoglyph spoofing in tool schemas, plus continuous schema fingerprinting to detect runtime rug-pull attacks.
