Doc says:
“Hosting in certified infrastructure is not the same as being compliant.”
Aegisys provides SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure and Canadian-hosted environments that support your compliance journey. But compliance itself — whether NERC CIP, FERC, or other standards — is achieved through your operational controls, security practices, and documented processes.
Hosting in a compliant infrastructure is a foundation, not a guarantee. Audit readiness requires your team's attention to controls, training, incident response, and governance.
Similarly, having penetration test audits completed is not an indicator of compliance — it is a data point in your security posture. Compliance frameworks require far more: policy adherence, control documentation, user training, change management, and incident capability.
