How It Works

How AriesView Security works

Install one lightweight agent and AriesView Security enrolls the device, hardens it to your baseline, streams live posture, enforces policy across the fleet, and captures a complete audit trail for SOC 2.

The workflow

Five stages, one governed console

Every device moves through the same repeatable path — enroll, harden, monitor, enforce, prove. No stitching together MDM, EDR, and spreadsheets, no black box, and a complete audit trail from first heartbeat to final report.

1 · Enroll

Drop the agent onto a laptop or server. It enrolls into your fleet in seconds with a per-tenant key — Windows and Linux, no heavy install.

2 · Harden

Aries applies your baseline: Secure Boot, TPM, firewall, encrypted DNS, credential hygiene, and CIS-style hardening across six controls.

3 · Monitor

Every device streams live status and network posture — firewall, DNS, listening ports, and internet-reachable exposures — back to one console.

4 · Enforce

When a device drifts, Aries flags it and re-hardens automatically. A remote killswitch and panic control handle anything that goes wrong.

5 · Prove

Every control, command, and change is logged to a tamper-evident audit trail you can export as SOC 2 evidence.

Stage 1 — Enroll

Drop the agent onto any machine

Start the way fleets actually grow: one machine at a time. Install the lightweight, stdlib-only agent, and it enrolls into your tenant with its own key — no pre-configuration, Windows or Linux.

  • One cross-platform agent, no heavy dependencies
  • Per-tenant enrollment keys keep every fleet isolated
  • Desktop and server (VM) devices in one place

Stage 2 — Harden

Aries applies your baseline

The agent enforces six controls on every device — Hardware Armor (Secure Boot, TPM, kernel lockdown), Local Guard (firewall + audit logging), Identity Vault, Network Privacy (encrypted DNS), Hardening (CIS-style), and Stealth — so a fresh machine becomes a hardened one automatically.

  • Secure Boot, TPM, and kernel lockdown checks
  • Firewall, encrypted DNS, and credential hygiene
  • CIS-style hardening scored on every device

Stage 3 — Monitor

Live posture from every endpoint

Each device heartbeats its status and network posture back to the console: firewall state, DNS configuration, every listening port and process, and any internet-reachable service. Exposures are surfaced, not buried.

  • Every listening port and process, with exposure severity
  • Internet-reachable services (like open RDP) flagged instantly
  • Fleet-wide exposure rollup, highest severity first

Low-confidence items surface first — nothing reaches the model unreviewed

Stage 4 — Enforce

Drift is corrected automatically

Policy is enforced, not just reported. When a control slips out of your baseline, Aries flags it and re-hardens the device on its next heartbeat. A remote killswitch and panic action isolate a compromised machine in seconds.

  • Baselines enforced back automatically on drift
  • Remote killswitch, arm/disarm, and panic controls
  • Every enforcement action captured in the audit trail

Stage 5 — Prove

Compliance evidence with a full audit trail

Export the evidence your auditors ask for. Every enroll, login, command, policy change, and control state is written to a tamper-evident audit log, so your SOC 2 posture is defensible from first heartbeat to final report.

  • SOC 2-ready evidence exported in a click
  • Tamper-evident, timestamped audit trail end to end
  • Every control state traceable to the device and time

The impact

Lock down more devices with less effort

Audits don't wait and fleets keep growing. Aries gives your team the hours back so more of your time goes to real risk instead of manual hardening and evidence collection.

Audit evidence captured automatically

Auditable by design

Enforced, and provable

Hardening only matters if you can prove it. Aries pairs automatic enforcement with a verifiable record of every control and change on every device.

Grounded in real signal

Every status reflects a real check on the device — firewall state, Secure Boot, listening ports — not a questionnaire answer.

Enforce, don't just observe

Aries surfaces drift and re-hardens the device. Compliance tools tell you what's wrong; Aries fixes it.

End-to-end audit trail

Every enroll, command, policy change, and control state is captured, so the path from device to report is fully traceable and exportable.
