How we work

You decide how much we build.

We deploy Cortex as it is, build to your specification, or work beside your IT team on a system you own.

Engagements

Pick a starting point. Each one ends with software in your cloud and a team that runs it.

Deploy the platform

We install Cortex in your cloud, configure it for your programs and train your team. Then you run it, or we run it with you.

What we do

  • Install Cortex with your IT team, on infrastructure you control
  • Connect sign-in to your identity provider
  • Set up approval paths and limits for each program
  • Train your reviewers, approvers and administrators

What you keep

  • Your records, in your database
  • An append-only change history
  • The choice to run it yourselves or with us

Phases

Discovery

We map your programs, data sources and approval paths with your compliance and IT leads.

Govern your own build

AI writes code fast. Your release checks decide what ships.

Changes pass the same checks whether an engineer or an AI coding agent wrote them.

Change

Add a fair market value check to engagement requests

Written by an AI coding agent, opened by Priya N.

Checks

Tests, type checks, secret scanning, and a dependency check against known vulnerabilities and licences.

Waiting for a change

  • The practices we put in place

  • Version control

    Changes live in a repository with a reviewed history, and main stays releasable.

  • Review gates

    Merges need an approving review from someone other than the author.

  • Dependency management

    Pinned versions and automated checks for vulnerabilities and licences.

  • Testing

    Tests run before anything merges, and a failing test stops the merge.

  • Release and rollback

    Small, frequent releases with a rehearsed way back.

  • AI agents inside policy

    Agents work on branches with scoped credentials, and their changes go through the same review as anyone else's.

  • Validation evidence

    Test records, approvals and release notes your quality team can use when it validates your system for GxP use.

For IT and security

Your IT team runs the infrastructure. We give them what they need to review it.

01

Architecture review

Diagrams of the services, data stores and network paths, reviewed with your architects before deployment.

02

Security questionnaire

Answers to your vendor security assessment, written by the people who build the platform.

03

Service inventory

The cloud services, sizes and network rules Cortex uses, listed before we install anything.

04

Runbooks

Steps for upgrades, backups and restores that your operations team can follow.

Questions

What procurement asks us.

In your own cloud, in the region you choose. EthicsVue keeps no copy of your records.
