A platform that turns compliance assessments into clear priorities and practical roadmaps

Why Leaders Need A Compass

Regulatory expectations are rising. Threats are evolving. And risk often hides in the gaps between teams, locations, and suppliers.

Most organisations can describe their controls. Fewer can show, quickly and consistently, whether those controls work in practice across the full organisation.

Aegis Compass is designed for the moment when leaders ask:

“So what does this mean for us? What do we do next?”

What Is Aegis Compass?

Aegis Compass is Argus Pro's platform that enables multiple respondents, across roles, functions, seniority levels and jurisdictions, to complete structured assessments using Argus Pro's frameworks.

It then turns those responses into clear, comparable outputs that support decision-making, prioritisation and planning.

In simple terms:

  • It captures a consistent view of “what’s in place” and “what’s working”

  • It highlights where responses diverge (a common sign of hidden risk)

  • It converts findings into practical roadmaps and next steps

How It Works

1: Scope Choose the framework (AFC or CDOR) and define the scope - teams, sample size, locations, services and jurisdictions.
2: Capture By asking every respondent the same structured questions, organisations can distinguish control gaps from perception gaps and surface root causes with confidence.
3: Score Aegis Compass automatically computes weighted scores across multiple question types - results reflect control effectiveness and underlying causes of weakness.
4: Prioritise By comparing responses across respondents, Aegis Compass highlights hidden weaknesses and directs attention to gaps that require action.
5. Monitor Dashboards provide leadership with ongoing visibility to monitor risk posture, track remediation progress and support confident reporting.

Get A True Picture, Not A Limited View

An assessment completed by a small number of individuals can only ever reveal part of the picture.

Traditional assessments are often delivered through face-to-face, interview-style sessions. While valuable, these formats can be time-intensive, intimidating for some respondents, and inherently limited by availability, scheduling constraints and the number of interviews that can be completed within a given timeframe.

Aegis Compass is designed for organisations where risk is distributed across teams, functions, regions and decision layers. The majority of respondents complete the assessment online, securely and in their own time, allowing hundreds of relevant stakeholders to contribute without pressure from colleagues, managers or interview settings.

Where appropriate, a blended approach is used. Senior leadership and key role-holders can be engaged through targeted, face-to-face discussions, with insights captured directly within Aegis Compass to ensure consistency.

This approach combines scale with depth: building rapport where it matters, while capturing a far broader, more candid set of perspectives than traditional assessment methods alone.

What becomes possible:

  • Compare first line vs. second line views

  • Compare central teams vs. local implementation

  • Identify knowledge gaps and control drift

Did You Know?

In most organisations, the fastest way to spot hidden risk is to compare how different teams describe the same control. Misalignment is often the earliest signal of control drift.

Benchmarking (Internal and Peer)

Aegis Compass is designed to support benchmarking across functions, roles, seniority, jurisdictions and, where appropriate, anonymised peer comparisons.

Insights That Drive Action

Aegis Compass is not just a reporting tool. It is designed to help leaders decide what to do next.

What It Reveals

  • Where maturity is strong, and where it is inconsistent

  • Which controls exist on paper but fail in practice

  • Where gaps cluster by region, service, or team

  • Where risk is emerging due to change, growth or complexity

What It Produces

  • Clear priority themes (what matters most)

  • Roadmaps with practical next steps (what to do next)

  • Evidence focus areas (what to gather to prove progress)

  • A management view that supports governance conversations
