About ArchNGN

We're solution architects and engineers who have spent our careers designing and governing systems for banks, miners, energy companies and global travel businesses. We've seen the same problem everywhere: the design says one thing, the estate does another, and nobody can prove which is right until an audit forces the question.

AI has made that gap wider. Coding assistants now write a large share of enterprise software, faster than any architecture function can review it and with no knowledge of the standards it should follow. Code scanners check the code, and posture tools check the cloud configuration. Nothing checks whether the system was built the way it was designed.

ArchNGN is the assurance layer for that gap. It reads your cloud accounts and repositories read-only, keeps a live model of what is actually running, and checks every design and change against your own standards, from the first design through the pull request to deployment. Every check leaves evidence behind, so conformance is something you can show rather than assert.

We're working with a small group of early-access customers in regulated and fast-moving organisations, starting in Australia and New Zealand.

FAQs

General

What is ArchNGN?

ArchNGN is the assurance layer for solution architecture. It keeps a live model of your estate, built from your cloud accounts and repositories, and checks every design and change against your standards and frameworks. Designs, dependency maps and reviews are generated from the same model, and every check leaves an audit trail.

Who is ArchNGN built for?

Engineering and architecture teams who need AI-assisted delivery to follow approved patterns. Consultancies who run current-state discovery on every engagement. Risk, audit and regulated industries who need findings tied to their own standards. Due diligence and integration teams who need to know what is actually deployed.

How is ArchNGN different from traditional enterprise architecture tools?

Traditional tools give you an empty repository to fill by hand, and it drifts out of date as soon as it's populated. ArchNGN builds the model from what is actually running and keeps it in sync as your sources change. More importantly, it doesn't stop at documenting the estate: it checks designs and changes against your standards where the work happens, in pipelines, pull requests and AI coding agents.

Is ArchNGN available now?

ArchNGN is in early access with a small group of customers ahead of general availability. Book a demo to see it run against your own estate and talk about joining.

Platform & integration

What systems does ArchNGN connect to?

Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud), code repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps), object storage (Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage) and SharePoint. All access is read-only. Pipelines and AI coding agents connect through the REST API and MCP server. More connectors, including Jira, ServiceNow and Terraform, are on the roadmap.

How does ArchNGN use AI?

AI classifies what the connectors find and resolves it into one model, drafts designs and documentation from that model, and evaluates designs against your standards. An architect still reviews and approves what matters. AI runs on the model provider in your hosting environment (Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI or Vertex AI), and your data is never used to train models.

How is my data protected?

Connectors use read-only access that you control, and their credentials are held in an encrypted secrets store. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and API tokens are scoped, revocable and recorded in the audit log. See our security documentation, or contact security@archngn.com.

Getting started

How long does it take to get started?

You can connect a first cloud account or repository in a single working session and see the model it builds. There are no agents to install and no data to migrate.

Do I need to replace my existing tools?

No. ArchNGN reads from the tools you already use and adds checks to the pipelines you already run. If you use an enterprise architecture tool today, you can import its structure rather than start again.

How do I join early access?

Book a demo and tell us about your estate and the standards you need to prove. We'll set up a working session and take it from there.
