What Aegis Firma Does Not Do
We believe trust comes from honesty about limitations. Here is a plain-English list of what Aegis Firma explicitly does not do, promise, or guarantee. Read this before subscribing.
What Aegis Firma IS and DOES
We are a documentation, evidence-collection, and workflow tool for businesses that need to get compliance work organized. Here is what we actually deliver:
- Help you identify which AI regulations may apply based on your self-reported profile
- Generate draft policy documents, assessments, and reports as starting points for human review
- Track regulatory deadlines and alert you when dates approach
- Collect and organize compliance evidence with timestamps and attribution
- Provide structured workflows to help teams work through compliance activities
- Give you audit-ready documentation packages your legal team can review and act on
- Show you which AI tools your team uses (via browser extension) so you can make informed decisions
- Make compliance documentation faster, cheaper, and more organized than doing it manually
What We Do NOT Do
Legal Advice
- Provide legal advice of any kind. We are a software tool, not a law firm.
- Tell you whether your specific business operations are legally compliant.
- Give you guidance that a qualified attorney has reviewed for your situation.
- Substitute for legal counsel for regulatory filings, responses to regulators, or court submissions.
- Guarantee that our jurisdiction summaries are accurate, current, or complete for your specific situation.
Regulatory Certification
- Certify, audit, or accredit your business as compliant with any law or standard.
- Issue compliance certificates that hold weight with regulators or auditors.
- Guarantee audit outcomes — our reports are evidence-collection tools, not certifications.
- Represent you to any regulatory body.
- Provide a legally binding compliance opinion.
Enforcement
- Enforce legal requirements on your behalf.
- Guarantee that any automated enforcement rule will block all non-compliant AI usage — rules you configure are your responsibility.
- Monitor your employees' AI usage without their knowledge (the extension is an org-visibility tool, not employee surveillance).
- Take any autonomous action in your systems without your explicit configuration.
Technical Integration
- Automatically connect to your existing software systems without manual setup.
- Guarantee that evidence collected through connectors will satisfy every auditor or regulator.
- Maintain uptime guarantees above our stated SLA (see Terms of Service).
Human Judgment
- Replace the professional judgment of a qualified compliance officer, privacy lawyer, or data protection officer.
- Tell you how to handle a specific incident, breach, or enforcement action — consult qualified counsel immediately if you face one.
- Make compliance decisions for you — we surface the facts, you make the calls.
Data Accuracy
- Guarantee that every jurisdiction summary reflects the most recent state of the law — regulations change faster than any software can update.
- Verify that information you enter into assessments is accurate — results reflect the quality of your self-reported inputs.
- Guarantee AI-generated documents are error-free or jurisdiction-specific without human review.
When you need more than a tool
Aegis Firma helps you organize, document, and prepare. But for these situations, you need qualified professionals:
- • Active regulatory investigation or enforcement action — contact a specialist lawyer immediately
- • Data breach requiring 72-hour GDPR notification — consult a data protection officer or DPA-specialist counsel
- • High-risk AI system deployment under EU AI Act Annex III — require a qualified conformity assessment
- • Compliance sign-off for investors or M&A due diligence — require lawyer certification, not a software report
- • Employee privacy questions — consult employment and privacy counsel in your jurisdiction
