PLATFORM FAQ
Answers about Aegis SafeForge workflows, AI assistance, deployment, security, data, and early access.
Platform and workflows
What is Aegis SafeForge?
Aegis SafeForge is an AI-assisted engineering workflow platform for functional safety, cybersecurity, and regulated risk work. It connects project context, source documents, analysis tables, requirements, reviews, approvals, traceability, and evidence in one governed workspace.
Which standards and industries are supported?
Aegis SafeForge is pilot-ready today around the automotive HARA chain for ISO 26262: Item Definition, HARA, Safety Goals, FSR, TSR, and verification evidence, alongside TARA for ISO/SAE 21434. FMEA, FMEDA, FTA, ETA, lifecycle dashboards, expanded reporting, and other industry-specific artifacts are actively being worked on. Railway, medical-device, and process-safety profiles are expansion tracks through configured pilots and domain-specific workflow setup.
How will Aegis SafeForge support CRA, the EU AI Act, and audit readiness?
Aegis SafeForge is being built with CRA and AI Act principles in mind: human oversight, transparency, traceability, cybersecurity, logging, source grounding, access control, and governed AI assistance. The compliance dashboard direction starts with CRA, AI Act, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and selected industry standards, helping teams identify gaps, rank audit readiness, and maintain documentation as built-in artifacts. Official qualification or conformity-assessment support will be handled as required by customer context and applicable law.
Does the platform replace safety or cybersecurity engineers?
No. AI accelerates drafting, retrieval, and structuring. Qualified people remain responsible for reviewing assumptions, changing generated content, approving engineering decisions, and determining compliance.
How does traceability work?
Artifacts can be linked across the engineering chain, including item definitions, hazards, threats, goals, requirements, controls, claims, and verification evidence. Aegis SafeForge is designed to build traceability while work happens, so teams do not have to reconstruct spreadsheet relationships right before review.
How is Aegis SafeForge different from spreadsheets, ALM tools, and generic AI chat?
Spreadsheets are flexible but weak on traceability, ownership, and review governance. Generic ALM tools are powerful, but often require heavy setup and are not safety-workflow-first. Generic AI tools can draft text, but they do not manage review state, approval, deterministic checks, source grounding, or downstream impact. Aegis SafeForge connects workflow structure, AI assistance, human approval, traceability, and evidence in one governed environment.
AI and source grounding
What information does the AI use?
Generation can use the active system and project context, selected standards, approved upstream artifacts, structured schemas, and documents made available to the relevant organisation, project, or system scope.
Can users inspect the reasoning and sources?
The platform is designed to expose field-level reasoning and source references where available. Users can review supported source documents and inspect the project context behind AI-assisted suggestions instead of treating model output as an untraceable answer.
Are AI outputs automatically approved?
No. AI proposes, the platform governs, and humans decide. Generated records begin in a reviewable state and follow configured review and approval gates. Review state is part of the artifact, deterministic checks handle supported repeatable rules, and engineering judgment remains human-owned.
Security, data, and deployment
How is access controlled?
The platform uses authenticated access, organisation and project boundaries, role-based permissions, and protected service-to-service communication. Deployment-specific controls and customer responsibilities are confirmed during onboarding.
Does the browser connect directly to the AI retrieval service?
In production, browser traffic is intended to go through the authenticated backend. The retrieval and generation service is treated as an internal service and protected with service credentials.
Where can the platform be deployed?
Aegis SafeForge supports managed SaaS, region-specific SaaS, private cloud or VPC, and self-hosted deployment models. EU companies can request EU servers for SaaS. Regional availability, data-residency scope, and architecture are confirmed during onboarding.
Is Aegis SafeForge a certification authority?
No. Aegis SafeForge supports engineering workflows and audit preparation. It does not certify products, guarantee compliance, or replace independent assessment where one is required.
Access and support
How can my team evaluate the platform?
Contact the Aegis SafeForge team to discuss your standards, workflow, deployment constraints, and pilot scope. Early-access evaluations are planned around a defined use case and review process.
Can we import existing requirements and documents?
The platform supports document ingestion and structured requirement workflows. Supported formats and migration scope should be confirmed for the specific pilot dataset.
