Agentis Solution
Audit-Ready Margin Governance for SOC 2 and Internal Controls
Auditable margin enforcement with per-order policy logs, segregation-of-duties controls, and SOC-2-ready reporting — turning margin governance from a tribal-knowledge function into a documented internal control.
The Problem
Ecommerce CFOs at companies pursuing SOC 2 certification, preparing for IPO, or supporting Series C+ fundraising face a documentation gap on financial controls. Existing margin processes rely on after-the-fact reconciliation and tribal knowledge: 'we look at the margin variance report monthly and investigate exceptions.' That process does not generate the per-transaction audit trail that SOC 2 controls testing requires, and it does not provide segregation of duties between policy authors and runtime operators. Without an enforcement layer with built-in audit infrastructure, achieving SOC 2 readiness on margin controls means custom documentation work that slows certification by months.
How Agentis Solves It
Agentis ecommerce compliance and SOC 2 audit support layer logs every policy evaluation with full inputs, outputs, and rule version applied — generating the per-transaction audit trail that controls testing requires. The platform enforces segregation of duties between policy authors (typically finance), policy approvers (typically CFO or controller), and runtime operators (the system itself). Policy changes follow an approval workflow with immutable history; runtime decisions are logged with cryptographic provenance. The audit log is exportable in formats compatible with SOC 2 evidence requests and standard audit tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace a SOC 2 audit firm?
No. Agentis provides the technical infrastructure that supports SOC 2 controls testing on margin enforcement. You still engage a CPA firm to perform the SOC 2 audit. The Agentis audit log and policy registry are designed to map directly to control objectives, making the audit firm's testing significantly faster than reviewing a custom-built reconciliation process.
What SOC 2 control objectives does this map to?
Most directly to processing-integrity controls (orders are processed against approved policies, exceptions are logged and reviewed) and to a subset of confidentiality and availability controls. The platform also supports change-management controls via the policy approval workflow. We provide documented mappings to specific SOC 2 trust services criteria as part of the standard onboarding for compliance-focused customers.
How are policy approvals handled?
Policy changes follow a configurable workflow: policy author proposes the change, designated approver(s) review and approve, then the policy is promoted to enforce mode after a configurable delay (typically 24h). High-impact policies (affecting more than X% of orders) require additional approval steps. The full history of each policy version, approver, and effective date is immutable and exportable.
Can auditors export the data they need without involving engineering?
Yes. The audit interface provides self-service export of policy evaluations, policy version history, and approval logs in standard formats (CSV, JSON, Parquet). Auditors with read-only access can pull evidence for specific time windows, transaction IDs, or policy versions without engineering involvement. The interface is designed to match the workflow auditors actually use during fieldwork.
