Is the Five Controls guide really free?
Yes. The PDF is $0 on Gumroad, with an optional contribution. It helps you review one AI workflow; it is not a paid assessment, a certification, or a guarantee of compliance.
What happens in the free briefing?
We spend 30 minutes discussing where AI is being used, which workflow may be worth prioritizing, and what control or operating gaps you see. If there is a fit, we discuss a scoped next step. There is no obligation to buy.
How do I arrange a briefing?
Visit the briefing page to check calendar availability or send a request by message. If you do not see a suitable time, Dan will follow up on your request. Sending a message does not confirm an appointment.
Do we need to start over with new AI tools?
Not necessarily. We first look at the tools, workflows, and access you already have. A recommendation may be to use what you own better, test a specific change, or stop a workflow that isn’t worth the risk or cost.
Can you work with our existing MSP?
Yes. Aegis focuses on workflow selection, measured pilots, control evidence, and adoption. Your MSP keeps its infrastructure role and client relationship. See the MSP partner approach.
Does “assurance” mean guaranteed compliance?
No. It means practical oversight, documented controls, evidence, and review routines. Legal advice, certification, audit opinions, and guarantees of security or regulatory compliance are not included.
