About
Auditors, engineers and policy people in one room.
Aegis was founded in 2021 because AI risk kept falling between the model team who understood the system and the assurance team who understood the obligation.
We are independent by design: we do not build or resell the models we assess, and we take no commission from tooling vendors. That independence is the product.
Our teams sit inside your delivery cadence rather than beside it — reviewing systems while they are still changeable, and leaving behind controls your own people run.
We work with banks, insurers, health providers, public bodies and platform companies across the EU, UK and India.
