Compliance evidence, collected while you work

Ferrous turns the audit scramble into a byproduct of normal engineering. Sample company and numbers – replace with your own.

Problem

Audits are a quarter of stolen engineering time

Mid-size B2B teams spend 6–10 engineer-weeks per audit assembling screenshots and exports by hand.
Evidence goes stale the day it's collected – auditors ask again anyway.
The tooling assumes a compliance team; 50–300-person companies don't have one.

Product

Agents collect the evidence where it lives

Ferrous connects to the tools engineering already uses and keeps an always-current evidence ledger – every control mapped to live proof, refreshed on change, exportable in the auditor's format.
