AGKL · Knowledge Layer

Your evidence. Your infrastructure. Assessment-ready by default.

The Altiri Governed Knowledge Layer (AGKL) turns compliance documentation into a living, versioned, assessor-navigable asset — built on the Open Knowledge Format (OKF) and owned entirely by you.

Demo and paper targets will be linked here once published.
The Problem

A Compliance Arithmetic Problem

An estimated 70,000 defense suppliers are expected to need CMMC Level 2; fewer than 2,000 are certified.

CMMC Phase 2 — the rule requiring third-party Level 2 certification on applicable new DoD contracts — has been suspended pending a 60-day review, so the previously anticipated November 10, 2026 effective date is no longer a confirmed timeline. With a 6–9 month typical readiness runway, the organizations that clear their windows calmly will be the ones for whom "where is the evidence, and is it current?" stopped being a research question months earlier.

How AGKL Works

Compliance Evidence, Made Into Infrastructure

AGKL reshapes the documentation behind CMMC Level 2 from a set of files into a versioned, linked, queryable knowledge layer — your assessor-facing record, on infrastructure you designate.

Every artifact becomes a concept.

Policies, controls, evidence, POA&M items, risks, and decisions — versioned, linked, plainly readable files mapped to NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2, on infrastructure you designate.

History is built in.

Every change to every document is recorded: what, when, by whom. Documentation change control as a property of the format, not a process bolted on.

Staleness announces itself.

Every evidence item carries a date and a review cycle; the system flags what's expiring before an assessor finds it.

AI that cites — and declines.

Assessor-style questions answered from your own record with file citations; validated to say "that's not in the record" rather than invent. Human approval gates every AI-proposed change. Nothing sensitive leaves your environment through any AGKL component.
