What is Ankos?
Ankos replaces your PCI compliance spreadsheets, shared drives, and task trackers with a single compliance ledger. The free CLI scans your AWS infrastructure and collects evidence automatically. The SaaS organizes everything by the 31 standard QSA evidence categories and exports a package your QSA can read directly against their Document Request List.
Ankos prepares the case. Your QSA is the judge.
