Question 1

What is iTmethods Reign?

Accepted Answer

Reign is the Trust Layer for Enterprise AI. A four-component governance platform built around the Three Lines of Defense: AI Gateway (policy enforcement at runtime), Model Risk Validation (independent challenge), Audit Ledger / CAVR (independent attestation), and Assurance Packs (independent assurance to regulators).

Question 2

What does the Reign Spine cover?

Accepted Answer

The Spine is mapped end-to-end to the frameworks regulators expect: SR 26-2, OSFI E-23, EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, FDA PCCP, 21 CFR Part 11, FCA / MiFID II, NIST 800-171 / CMMC, and SOC 2 (AI). Each component delivers framework-aligned controls and evidence.

Question 3

How is the Spine deployed?

Accepted Answer

The same governance layer runs across SaaS, Dedicated, Customer Cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP), and Air-Gapped deployments. Sovereignty is a first-class deployment property, not a separate edition.

Question 4

How do I get access?

Accepted Answer

Reign is available by application through the Reign Design Partner Program. Design partners shape framework mappings, packet templates, and validation harness defaults across the Spine.

Question 5

How does Reign work alongside our existing AI infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Reign sits between your applications and your AI infrastructure (LLM providers, agent runtimes, MCP servers, embedded AI features) without code changes to the application layer. The AI Gateway brokers and audits every call; Model Risk Validation runs against your existing model registry; Audit Ledger (CAVR) generates regulator-grade evidence from your live traffic. Forge runs the substrate; Reign governs everything inside it.

Question 6

Is Reign deployable in our environment, or only as SaaS?

Accepted Answer

Both. Reign supports four deployment postures: SaaS, dedicated cloud, customer cloud (your AWS, Azure, or GCP tenant), and air-gapped. Air-gapped is the path for defense, intelligence, and the most sensitive bank-grade programs where any data egress is unacceptable. The same Spine (AI Gateway, Model Risk Validation, Audit Ledger (CAVR), Assurance Packs) runs in all four configurations.

Question 7

What does iTmethods do if Reign isn't yet generally available?

Accepted Answer

Reign is in Design Partner phase for FY26. A small, selective cohort of regulated enterprises co-developing the Trust Layer. Cohort members shape the roadmap, get early access, and walk away with controls and evidence packs that match how their organization actually operates. If you're a Tier-1 bank, capital markets firm, life sciences leader, or defense prime, apply at /reign/design-partner-program.
