Certus sits on the merge gate, orchestrates CI, SAST, SBOM, and IaC checks, then emits a signed Evidence Pack so reviewers, auditors, and regulators see the exact proof captured at merge time.

The Chromaflow Stack
Chromaflow is Octave-X's agentic SDLC engine. It decomposes every ticket into a plan, drafts code, runs property-based tests, and hands the diff to Certus for attestation. The result is an autonomous workflow where humans review strategy while the platform maintains compliance.
Why Enterprise Teams Adopt Certus
You ship into the most regulated markets on earth. That means every merge must satisfy auditors, security leaders, and regulators before the hotfix hits prod. Certus bakes in SBOM, Semgrep, and license gates, then emits a signed Evidence Pack per change—no more screenshotting dashboards at audit time.
Pilot Outcomes We Commit To
• < 48h compliant lead time from ticket to merge.
• 0 high/critical findings at merge.
• Audit exports mapped to SOC-2/PCI controls.
• Reviewers and QSAs sign evidence via Certus without leaving their workflow.
Compliance evidence on autopilot
Certus builds the control map for you — each requirement links to the test, scan, or policy that proves the change.
SOC-2
CC 2.1, 3.2, 7.3 covered with automated artifacts.
HIPAA
Access logs, integrity checks, encryption attestations on every merge.
Enterprise pilots feel like Linear but with governance baked in: every handset, wall, or SOC desk inherits the same calm typography and dynamic workflows. Remove the clutter, keep the posture rail, and let reviewers glide through evidence.
Live posture rail
SLA timers watch every repo with drift detection + anomaly surfacing.
Signed ledger packs
Each PR mints Cosign, SBOM, and control mappings in a single packet.
Policy-locked merges
Risky merges freeze automatically until reviewers clear the controls.

Proof-of-value cohorts
Hands-on install, blueprint tuning, evidence automation across 2–3 repos.
We are the team behind Chromaflow — the agentic SDLC engine that writes, reviews, and tests software. Certus is the compliance layer: security engineers, auditors, and product builders translating controls into automated proof. Part of 1871, NVIDIA Inception, and AWS for Startups.

ChromaFlow synthesises plan, diffs, and tests before human review.
Capability
Operational telemetry
Live posture across repos with SLA tracking, drift detection, and AI insights.
Control plane
Evidence OS
Policy, automation, and proofs in a single glass dashboard.
Capability
Pipeline governance
Certus orchestrates CI, security, and policy gates with deterministic outcomes.
Capability
Zero-friction evidence
