Every major compliance framework requires qualified, accountable security leadership — not just a platform. Aegis delivers that leadership layer two ways: Pistos supplies the CISO, or your internal CISO runs the program. Either way, PCS does the engineering work behind it.

◆Protection and authority.
A shield of oversight.
The CISO enablement layer that regulated organizations need — powered by the AI engine that keeps everything current.
Aegis is not defined by who fills the CISO role — it is defined by what gets built and maintained. PCS generates the configurations, policies, training, DR/IR automation, and reports. The CISO provides the judgment, accountability, and regulatory credibility that no platform can substitute.
A former Big-X partner serves as your named CISO — responsible for your compliance program, regulatory filings, board reporting, and examiner interactions. PCS runs the program continuously. Your Pistos CISO carries the weight in the rooms where compliance is decided.
Best for organizations without a dedicated internal security function that need both the platform and the practitioner.
Your internal CISO retains ownership of the program — and gains a platform that generates the configurations, policies, training, DR/IR automation, and reports they would otherwise spend their time producing manually. PCS is the force multiplier that lets your CISO lead rather than administer.
Best for organizations with an existing CISO who needs the depth and currency that a single practitioner cannot sustain alone.
Most organizations operate in a state of periodic compliance — scrambling before an audit, quiet after. Aegis changes that structure permanently.
Compliance program assembled manually before each audit cycle
Evidence scattered across email, shared drives, and vendor portals
Regulatory changes discovered during examiner preparation, not before
Board cybersecurity reporting informal or absent
NY DFS certification filed without confidence in underlying evidence
No documented risk assessment process between annual filings
Vendor security reviews ad hoc or non-existent
Compliance program current every day — not just before an audit
All evidence linked to controls in Sentinel, dated and organized
Regulatory amendments flagged and addressed before they become findings
Formal board reporting on schedule — risk posture in plain language
NY DFS certification supported by a complete, defensible evidence record
Continuous risk assessment built into the operating rhythm
Third-party risk reviewed against structured vendor assessment criteria
Aegis is not a retainer for ad hoc advice. It is a structured program with defined deliverables tied to your regulatory calendar — delivered by PCS and overseen by a designated CISO.
Full operation of the Sentinel compliance platform — control tracking, evidence review, scoring, and gap remediation management.
Scheduled Skopein scans across your environment — endpoint, M365, Active Directory, external posture — with findings reviewed and remediation tracked.
Training campaign scheduling, phishing simulation deployment, results review, and remedial training assignment — managed and current.
Formal annual risk assessment against applicable frameworks. Documented findings, risk ratings, and remediation roadmap — satisfying NY DFS 500.09 and equivalent requirements.
NY DFS Certification of Material Compliance preparation and filing support. Evidence compilation and examiner response coordination for all applicable regulatory filings.
Quarterly or annual board cybersecurity reporting — risk posture, compliance status, and program effectiveness in language suitable for executive and board review.
Pre-examination evidence review, gap remediation prioritization, and examiner response coordination. You are not facing an examination alone.
Third-party security assessment coordination — vendor questionnaires, contract security language review, and ongoing vendor risk tracking in Sentinel.
All security policies and supporting procedures maintained current as regulations amend — generated and updated by PCS, reviewed by the designated CISO.
Retainer-based incident response support — initial triage, regulatory notification obligation review, and coordination with legal counsel and forensic resources.
Whether you have no internal security function or an established CISO who needs more depth, Aegis delivers the platform and the program structure to keep your compliance posture current.
Banks, credit unions, broker-dealers, insurance carriers, RIAs, and payment processors subject to NY DFS, GLBA, PCI DSS, and SEC cybersecurity rules.
Physician groups, health plans, specialty practices, and healthcare technology companies subject to HIPAA and the OCR audit protocol.
Government primes and subcontractors subject to CMMC 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, and DFARS 252.204-7012 — where contract eligibility depends on demonstrable compliance posture.
Aegis satisfies the human governance requirements that no platform can fulfill on its own — the CISO designation, the board reporting obligation, the examiner accountability, the qualified oversight of the security program. Pistos-supplied or client's own: the regulatory requirement is met either way.
Covered entities must designate a qualified CISO responsible for overseeing and implementing the cybersecurity program. Aegis fulfills this obligation through a named designated CISO.
Covered entities must identify a Security Official responsible for developing and implementing required policies and procedures. Aegis provides or empowers the designated Security Officer function.
Program Management controls under CMMC 2.0 require documented, senior-level accountability for the security program. Aegis provides the governance structure assessors look for.
Public companies must disclose material cybersecurity incidents and describe management's role in risk oversight. Aegis provides the governance documentation and board reporting structure.
"Our carrier partners were pressing us on HIPAA compliance — we had no program, and they knew it. Our Aegis CISO took control and built it from the ground up: policies, procedures, and the security tool configurations to back them up. The partners have stopped asking."
Compliance Officer ◆ Healthcare Technology Firm
"We develop and host health insurance applications internally. We had no SDLC and no documented systems. Our Aegis CISO built the SDLC from scratch and put the processes in place to run and maintain our environment going forward. We went from no program to one that holds up under scrutiny."
CTO ◆ Health Insurance Software Developer
Whether you need Pistos to supply the CISO or want to empower your internal team, the conversation starts the same way.
