Dependency-aware
Walks the graph 2 hops out.
A CMDB thatstays current.
ALEXUS spots new services the day they spin up, flags dead ones the moment traffic stops, and reconciles ownership from PagerDuty, CODEOWNERS and Slack — so the inventory is current, not just complete.
- New CI auto-detectionCanary deploy, new namespace, new SaaS connector — surfaced with a confidence-scored ownership guess.
- Dead CI flaggingNo traffic, no owner, no recent deploy? ALEXUS proposes decommission — with the evidence trail attached.
- Drift reconciliationModelled state vs reality drift — caught in minutes, not at the next audit. Decision log attached.

Future use cases · Q3 2026 onwards
What ships into your tier as the CMDB Substrate, NIS2 Compliance Module and Executive Accountability Pack roll out — included at no extra cost.
Predictive change-risk scoring
CMDB Substrate Module
Govern + Operate · Q3 2026
Every proposed change is scored against a live dependency graph — what it touches, what depends on what, where the blast radius lands. Risky changes get flagged before they ship, dropping change-failure rate from typical 7–10% to high-elite 4%.
- Live blast-radius queries on every change request
- Pre-flight risk score (low / medium / high) + remediation suggestions
- Failed-change cost avoidance — biggest single dollar driver in the ROI calc
- Underpins change-failure-rate avoidance — the biggest single dollar driver for regulated mid-market customers
NIS2 Article 23 — 24h incident reporting
NIS2 Compliance Module
Govern + Operate · Q3–Q4 2026
Material incident? ALEXUS auto-assembles the Article 23 early-warning report (24h) and the full report (72h) from the live CMDB — affected systems, data in scope, controls in place — and pushes it to your national CSIRT in the required format.
- Continuous Article 21 readiness scoring (low / medium / high)
- Auto-drafted Article 23 reports — 24h warning + 72h full
- CSIRT push integration (Ireland, Germany, France national bodies)
- Drives the qualitative NIS2 risk-reduction badge in the calculator
Executive Accountability Pack — quarterly evidence
Executive Accountability Pack
Operate (included) · Govern add-on · Q3–Q4 2026
Audit-grade quarterly evidence pack for the board and CISO. Defensibility under NIS2 Article 20 personal-liability exposure, cleanly assembled for D&O and cyber-insurance underwriting — turns asset-inventory hygiene from a hand-wave into a hash-chained artefact.
- Hash-chained quarterly asset-inventory snapshot
- Personal-liability defensibility narrative (Article 20)
- Cyber + D&O underwriting evidence pack (5–15% premium swing)
- Audit-prep time cut ~50% versus spreadsheet baseline
Planned features ship into Govern + Operate at no extra cost during your contract — and become available at Detect as paid add-ons from 2027 for non-founding customers. See the pricing roadmap for module-by-module timing.
