The Ankos App

What the web app gives you beyond the CLI — the compliance ledger, team collaboration, quarterly cycles, and QSA-ready exports.

The Ankos CLI is free and runs on your machine. The web app at app.ankos.dev is where your team collaborates on a single compliance ledger, tracks evidence across quarterly cycles, and exports audit-ready packages for your QSA.

What the app adds

  • The compliance ledger — every PCI DSS requirement organized by the 31 standard QSA evidence categories, shared by your whole team.
  • Onboarding wizard — five questions configure your ledger for your specific company, scope out what doesn't apply, and assign owners.
  • Evidence from three sources — automated CLI scans, manual uploads, and attested carry-forward between cycles.
  • Sign-off — a reviewer's explicit readiness gate, independent of evidence provenance.
  • Team and roles — invite admins, editors, and viewers; assign entries by owner.
  • Evidence readiness dashboard — progress by category, priority, and owner.
  • QSA evidence export — a ZIP organized by DRL categories with standard naming, a summary PDF, and integrity hashes.

Where to start

Ankos is not the QSA

The app helps your team gather, organize, and present evidence. Every narrative and export carries the reminder that the final compliance determination is made by your QSA. Ankos never renders a "pass" or "fail" judgment.
