ACRS Origins

From Cyber Reasoning System to governed autonomy

In 2016, DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge proved something the security field had only theorized: a machine could find a vulnerability, prove it was exploitable, and patch it — with no human in the loop. DARPA called the category a Cyber Reasoning System (CRS). Nine years later, the AI Cyber Challenge extended it to real-world open-source software. The capability is no longer in question. Machines can reason about code.

What the challenge systems were never asked to do is account for themselves. A finding appeared, an exploit worked, a patch shipped — and nothing in the architecture could tell you why the system decided what it decided, prove it hadn’t been manipulated, or stop it before it acted. In a competition arena, that’s fine. In a regulated enterprise, an autonomous system that can’t explain or be governed isn’t an asset. It’s an unbounded liability.

That gap is the reason AEGIS exists. We call what we built an Autonomous Cybersecurity Reasoning System — an ACRS. It descends directly from the CRS that DARPA proved out, and adds the layer those systems never had: governance that lives outside the reasoning engine.

A CRS proves a machine can act on code. An ACRS proves it can be trusted to — because the authority to act lives in a structure the reasoning engine cannot rewrite.

What the “A” adds — the governance layer
Earned Authority

Authority is earned, not assumed.

In a CRS, every agent operates at full capability from the first second. In AEGIS, capability and authority are separate. Every agent starts Provisional and earns its way to Solidified and Reinforced through demonstrated competence — and loses it automatically on regression. A newly deployed agent cannot touch production, no matter how capable, until it has earned the standing. Authority is bound to the signed intent of the operation, not the identity of the agent — so a compromised agent still can’t exceed what the operation was authorized to do.

Consequence Gating

Every action is consequence-gated.

Not all operations carry the same risk, so AEGIS doesn’t govern them the same way. Reading code is T1 — full autonomy. Sandboxed analysis is T2. The consequence-tier architecture reserves higher tiers for higher-impact operations. Privilege can only decrease through a chain of operations; a discovery task can never escalate itself. The dangerous action isn’t blocked by a policy that can be argued with — the code path that would let it escalate does not exist.

Provenance Chain

Every decision carries provenance.

In a CRS, a finding is an output. In AEGIS, every finding is the end of a signed chain: the scan evidence, the reachability analysis, the triage decision — each cryptographically bound, each reconstructable by an auditor who never has to trust the system itself. Provenance-less artifacts are structurally impossible; the functions that produce them require a valid provenance context as an input.


Why Deterministic

No LLM in the static-analysis engine

The CRS lineage reasoned about code deterministically — program analysis, call-graph reachability, source-to-sink taint — not by asking a model to guess. AEGIS keeps that discipline where it matters most: the shipping static-analysis engine has no LLM dependency. No hallucinated findings, no confidence-score roulette, results a second run reproduces exactly. Cross-file taint tracing across 7 languages, pattern-level coverage for 7 more, 115 detection patterns covering 126 CWE classes, and 13 compliance frameworks.

Reachability is the engine, not a score. Most tools hand you a flat list and leave triage to you. AEGIS traces whether a vulnerable pattern is actually reachable from an entry point on a tainted path — the difference between a finding and an exploitable finding. As AI-assembled code ships at scale, the bottleneck stops being finding patterns and becomes discriminating the reachable few from the inert many. That discrimination is what an ACRS is built to do.

AEGIS is the ACRS: the reasoning power DARPA’s programs proved out, governed by an authority that lives outside the engine — earned, consequence-tiered, and provable end to end. Capability was never the hard part. Accountability is. That’s the part we built.


Autonomous Cyber Reasoning

Find. Trace. Triage. Autonomously.

Most security tools find vulnerabilities. AEGIS finds them, traces whether they’re reachable from an entry point on a tainted path, and produces signed evidence at every step. Three governed agent stages, one command, full provenance chain.

Dikē
The pipeline is autonomous; the gates are not.
No stage advances without consequence-tier authorization, and every gate decision is itself a hash-chained provenance entry. This is what differentiates AEGIS from scanners: a system that traces reachability, triages by exploitability, and produces the evidence — under governance you can audit.

Governance

Every action gated. Every gate signed.

AEGIS doesn’t run as one process; it runs as three detection stages, each operating under its own consequence-tier authorization. The system cannot escalate its own authority — every tier transition produces a hash-chained provenance entry that auditors can independently verify.

T1 — Reversible reads
AST parsing, call graph queries, dependency lookups. No side effects, no execution. Default-authorized.
T2 — Sandboxed analysis
Taint analysis, fuzzing, dynamic test execution against patched code. Side effects contained to the sandbox.
T3 / T4 — Higher consequence tiers
The consequence-tier architecture reserves T3 and T4 for higher-impact operations. These tiers are defined in the governance framework but are not yet active in the shipping engine.
The gates are why AEGIS can be autonomous and trustworthy in the same sentence. Without them, you have a scanner with no accountability. With them, you have a governed pipeline where every step is verifiable and every authority transition is signed.

Free Compliance Diagnostic

Traffic lights against nine frameworks

The free npx scan runs the full Rust engine — tree-sitter AST parsing, cross-file taint analysis, call graph construction — and produces a readiness indicator for nine compliance frameworks. Pass / warn / fail status, percentage toward each baseline, and the gap that's blocking it. Capped at 50 findings.

The free scan covers nine frameworks at the traffic-light level. A product key unlocks the full 13-framework unified mapping, including FedRAMP 20x, DoD SRG, SEC/FINRA, and EU AI Act — plus unlimited findings and 40 signed report formats (OSCAL packages, DORA pillar mapping, FedRAMP ConMon, SBOM, evidence bundles).

What's Right, Not Just What's Wrong

Security tools find problems. AEGIS also proves controls.

Every SAST tool on the market tells you what’s broken. FedRAMP, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 also require evidence of what’s implemented — what controls are present, what policies are enforced, what security architecture is in place. That evidence doesn’t exist in a vulnerability report.

AEGIS detects implemented security controls directly from your codebase. 68 detection patterns across 12 NIST 800-53 control families. Each detection produces an OSCAL control implementation statement — the exact artifact auditors and 3PAOs consume.

Plus 6 additional families: Security Assessment (CA), Incident Response (IR), Media Protection (MP), Planning (PL), Risk Assessment (RA), and System Acquisition (SA).

ISMS Document Ingestion

Code scans cover technical controls. Organizational controls — access policies, incident response procedures, training requirements — live in ISMS documents. AEGIS ingests your ISMS markdown and maps 19 policy sections to 101 NIST controls, producing OSCAL statements for procedural evidence that code analysis can’t reach.

The merge logic prefers code evidence (automated, verifiable) and supplements with ISMS evidence for procedural controls. Controls covered by both sources receive a “defense-in-depth” designation — stronger evidence for auditors.

Why this matters

A Veracode scan tells you about 47 vulnerabilities. It says nothing about whether you have RBAC, whether your audit logging works, or whether your encryption meets NIST standards. You still need a human to manually inventory implemented controls for every FedRAMP assessment. AEGIS produces both reports in one pass. What’s broken and what’s working. The vulnerability findings feed remediation. The capability findings feed compliance evidence. Together they feed Arena certification.


Compliance Mapping

Thirteen frameworks, unified mapping

Every finding maps to controls across all thirteen frameworks simultaneously. Context-aware risk adjustment factors reachability, exposure, and compensating controls into the final score.

Reachability is computed by the call graph and taint analysis, not assumed. A finding in dead code carries a 0.3x multiplier; a finding in vendor dependencies carries 0.0x. The customer sees severity scored against what’s actually reachable in their topology, not against worst-case configuration.

How It Works

Three stages, one funnel

AEGIS is the entry point. Stage 0 is free and runs locally. Stages 1 and 2 unlock when you need audit-grade evidence or third-party certification.

0
Free Scan — full engine, 50-finding cap
npx @raknor/aegis scan ./your-project — full Rust engine (AST, taint, call graph), severity histogram, first 50 findings, and traffic-light readiness against 9 frameworks. Same binary as Pro and Enterprise. Runs locally. No signup. No upload.
1
Enhanced Scan — full evidence
Two paths: (A) ingest your ISMS / policy documents to add procedural controls, or (B) license the full scan for unredacted findings, AST taint analysis, OSCAL packages, DORA pillar mapping, SBOM, VEX, and the rest of the 40 report formats.
2
Prove It — Arena certification
Hand the signed evidence bundle to arena.raknor.ai for third-party governance + cybersecurity certification. The same provenance chain that produced the scan produces the certification record.

For Channel Partners

White-label as a first-class feature

AEGIS rebrands. Partners deploy the same engine under their own company name, logo, colors, and product name. Your prospects never need to know what AEGIS is — they see your brand and get a diagnostic from their own code.

When a prospect runs a white-labeled scan, the structured output (framework percentages, severity counts, missing capabilities) is exportable to the partner's CRM as structured fields. This is not a PDF attachment — it is lead qualification data that pre-scopes the engagement.

"[Partner] FedRAMP Readiness Scan"
Federal channel partner qualifying GovCloud prospects
"[Partner] HIPAA Compliance Check"
Healthcare vertical SaaS
"[Partner] DORA Readiness Assessment"
EU financial services
CRM-exportable lead data
Framework % · severity counts · missing capabilities — structured fields, not PDFs
A sales weapon with a compliance engine behind it
Cost per scan is effectively zero. The free preview runs locally on the prospect's machine. The licensed scan runs on theirs or yours. Either way, you start every conversation with a diagnostic instead of a deck.

Under the Hood — for engineers

Pipeline detail, one command

1.5M LOC in 40 seconds for a full analysis pass. File scanning throughput peaks at 6.7M LOC in 5 seconds. Delta scans (--changed-only) complete in under one second. The Rust engine runs entirely locally — no source code leaves the machine, no LLM is invoked in the analysis pipeline. The engine is deterministic: same input produces the same output, byte-for-byte, including provenance hashes.

Every stage runs under consequence-tier gating (T1 reversible read → T4 external side effect). Each action produces a hash-chained provenance entry. The chain is append-only and independently verifiable.

Cybersecurity Certification Failures

What triggers certification denial

AEGIS findings feed directly into the Raknor certification decision. The following cybersecurity conditions result in certification denial regardless of governance score:

×
Reachable critical vulnerability
A critical-severity vulnerability (CVSS 9.0+) with a proven exploitation path from an external entry point to the vulnerable code.
×
Exploitable injection path
Unsanitized user input reaches a sensitive sink (SQL, command execution, file system, LDAP) through a verified taint flow.
×
Exposed secrets in source
API keys, credentials, or tokens found in source code, configuration files, or committed to version control.
×
Known-vulnerable dependency (exploitable)
A dependency with a known CVE where the vulnerable function is reachable from the application's execution path.

Cybersecurity findings are deterministic. A system with a reachable critical vulnerability cannot be Raknor certified, regardless of its governance behavior score.
