Banking and capital markets
Cloud change control your examiners can verify.
Banking regulators expect you to manage technology risk like any other risk: changes authorized, tested and reversible, third parties kept on a short leash, and the record ready for review. ACSE brings that discipline to cloud misconfiguration fixes and keeps the proof in your own account.
Change management, already evidenced
Every fix carries its approval, testing, blast radius and recovery plan, so examiner requests are answered from the record.
Less third-party exposure
ACSE runs in your account, reads with a federated read-only identity and never writes to your cloud.
Resilience you can show
Fixes are validated before approval and verified afterwards, and drift reopens the case.
Change management
Segregation of duties, built into every fix
The person who wrote a change can’t approve it. Each decision takes step-up MFA and is bound to a hash of the exact view the approver saw, so nobody can claim they approved something different.
Where your policy calls for it, a change waits for two people. Loosening a control, shortening a window or adopting a new framework version always needs a second person.
- Author, requester and approver are different people
- Approval bound to what was shown
- Fixes enter through your own change pipeline
What examiners ask
The answers, on the record
Was it authorized?
The approver’s authenticated identity, the outcome they chose and the acknowledgements they made.
Was it tested?
The offline plan, the policy re-check of the planned state and the blast-radius judgement.
Can it be reversed?
The recovery plan shown at approval, and verification that the cloud reached the intended state.
Third-party risk
A vendor that can’t reach your data
Your third-party risk team will ask what ACSE can see and change. The runtime and evidence stay in your account. The connection is outbound-only and signed. The control plane holds shapes and counts, never identifiers.
Exported evidence is verified with an open verifier, so your assurance doesn’t depend on trusting ACSE.

Questions
What people ask us
Does ACSE ship framework packs for banking regulators’ technology risk guidelines?
Not as shipped packs. You can map those expectations as a custom framework on ACSE’s checks, reviewed by one person and published by a second.
Can fixes go through our existing change advisory process?
Yes. ACSE delivers the fix as a draft pull request or signed patch. Your normal change process and pipeline decide when it merges and deploys.
Is ACSE endorsed by any regulator?
No. ACSE gives you current posture and a verifiable record. Your examiners and auditors make their own judgement from it.

PCI DSS
ACSE maps cloud checks to the PCI DSS 4.0.1 technical requirements it tracks, from network controls to logging, and records how each finding was fixed.
ReadPlatformApprovals and governance
Every ACSE fix needs a person’s approval with step-up MFA, bound to the exact view they saw. Authors don’t approve their own changes, and two people where policy says.
ReadSolutionsAudit readiness
ACSE builds audit evidence as your team works: sealed cases, packages organized by control and a signed chain your auditor can verify offline on their own.
