We are launching ARX today because of a conversation that kept happening.
Over 15 years of enterprise security sales engagements — at Baker Hughes, Halliburton, HPE, GM Financial, Relativity, JLL, and dozens of other organizations — the same story appeared again and again.
A security engineer built something remarkable. A triage automation agent. A vulnerability correlation pipeline. An alert enrichment tool. Something that would meaningfully change how the security program operated. It worked. Everyone who saw it agreed it worked. And it never made it to production.
The reason was always the same: no SOC 2, no audit trail, no governance layer, no compliance documentation. The tool failed vendor security review. The engineer moved on. The tool died. The vendor's slower, less effective alternative stayed in production.
We built ARX to end that story.
What ARX Does
ARX is the compliance and governance layer that turns your security team's internally-built AI agents into enterprise-deployable production tools.
Your engineers bring their existing code — Docker container or Python script. ARX wraps it with SOC 2-certified infrastructure, secrets management, immutable audit logging, RBAC, behavioral controls, human approval gates, and auto-generated compliance documentation.
The security engineer deploys in under 10 minutes. The CISO gets a live agent registry and governance dashboard from day one. Procurement gets a compliance package PDF — vendor security questionnaire, data flow diagram, sub-processor list, SOC 2 control mapping — generated automatically from the agent's actual runtime behavior.
The six-month vendor review becomes a two-week procurement approval. The tool that was going to die in procurement ships by end of month.
What We've Built and Protected
ARX runs on Aptible's SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and HITRUST certified infrastructure. We have pre-built, authenticated connectors to CrowdStrike, Splunk, Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM, Wiz, ServiceNow, Okta, Microsoft Sentinel, Jira, Slack, and PagerDuty.
We have filed five provisional patent applications covering the core platform mechanisms — our SDK intercept layer, compliance package generator, behavioral drift detection system, compliance inheritance propagation method, and per-agent credential scope binding architecture.
How to Get Started
ARX is available for a 14-day free trial. In 14 days, your engineer deploys their first agent, your CISO has governance visibility, and your procurement team has a compliance package.
If you have an internal security tool that has been sitting in vendor review for longer than a month, we want to talk to you. The conversation is 30 minutes. We will show you exactly how ARX handles your specific situation.
The best security automation in your organization should not be a secret. It should be running. That is what ARX is for.
