Why SARC
SARC is the integration orchestration and correlation layer that sits above your existing compliance investments. It does not replace Kosli or ServiceNow. It is the surface that turns their data into the auditor-ready story your regulator, auditor, and CAB actually want.
The pain SARC removes
Four pain points repeat in every regulated delivery conversation:
- Evidence is scattered. SonarQube, Snyk, Wiz, GitGuardian, Trivy, ServiceNow, Kosli, GitLab, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps — each owns part of the story. Nobody owns the whole story.
- Approvals are a bottleneck. A typo fix and a schema migration get the same 48-hour CAB review because risk is opaque.
- CMDB is always stale. What’s running in production, by month end, bears little resemblance to what the CMDB says.
- Cloud lock-in is forced early. Compliance tooling tends to be built around one cloud’s primitives, so moving workloads to a second cloud breaks the audit story.
What SARC actually delivers
SARC sits above your existing Kosli and ServiceNow deployments and unifies them into one auditable pipeline. Specifically:
- A 5-axis risk clearance score derived from Kosli attestations and written back into ServiceNow change requests. No other system computes this.
- Vulnerability SLO burndown with cost-to-fix correlation — turning “find vulns” into “save $X / month.”
- One-button SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / DORA / PSD2 / NIST 800-53 / PCI-DSS / SOX evidence packaging. Customers cite this first.
- AI agent recipes that turn findings into one-click fix MRs across all three CI platforms.
- MCP server so AI agents can query Kosli, ServiceNow, and portal data on the customer’s behalf — without breaking compliance.
- Service-to-incident correlation via a directed graph that Kosli doesn’t compute and ServiceNow can’t see.

What this means for the executive
For the CFO
- Audit prep time drops from weeks-of-compilation to one click.
- Cost-vuln correlation quantifies remediation ROI in dollars, not severity labels.
- One platform replaces 4–6 manual processes previously held together by spreadsheets.
For the CIO / CTO
- Cloud parity is real. Same Terraform shape on AWS / Azure / GCP / on-prem.
- CI parity is real. Same compliance gates on GitLab CI / GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps.
- No vendor capture. You own the open architecture end-to-end, deployed in your cloud, audited by you.
For the Chief Compliance Officer / Head of GRC
- Auditors get their own time-boxed session — magic-link login, read-only to audit + compliance routes only.
- Evidence is reproducible per deployment, not compiled per quarter.
- AI Governance for the EU AI Act + NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 is built in, not bolted on.
Scope guards — what SARC is NOT
Explicit non-goals — read this carefully so expectations land cleanly:
- Not a SaaS competing with ServiceNow. Workflow control plane stays in ServiceNow.
- Not a SaaS competing with Kosli. Evidence data plane stays in Kosli.
- Not a CI platform. Use whichever you already own.
- Not a cloud. Deploys into yours.
- Not a CMDB replacement. Pushes into ServiceNow CMDB, doesn’t duplicate it.
- Not an authentication system. Use your existing IdP — Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Keycloak.
How customers buy SARC
SARC is a customer demo platform + reference architecture. You don’t subscribe; you adopt. Calitti / Synechron sells the implementation engagement (typically 4–8 weeks for the MVP install) that puts SARC into your cloud and wires it to your existing Kosli + ServiceNow + cloud + CI. After the engagement, you own and operate it. No SaaS bill, no per-seat fee, no vendor capture.
