AI-SPM vs ASPM
ASPM is application security posture across SDLC tooling. AI-SPM is the broader programme that adds asset discovery, adversarial testing, runtime gateway controls, and control-ID compliance evidence.

What AI-SPM vs ASPM really means
ASPM addresses one part of AI risk. What it leaves uncovered is the rest of the AI surface: covers application source and supply chain; does not test the running AI model, agent, or gateway behaviour.
How Penaxtra closes the gap
AI-SPM covers the AI-specific layer directly: 11 AI asset kinds today, three-judge adversarial testing, a self-hosted runtime gateway, and control-ID evidence across six frameworks. It usually runs alongside ASPM, since the two address different layers.
What Penaxtra adds
Self-hosted runtime gateway with Ed25519-signed policy distribution
Three judges (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) + meta-judge consensus on every adversarial finding
Six-framework compliance mapping at control-ID level
PDF + JSON audit-evidence export with twenty-two cross-framework overlaps
Compliance coverage compared
AI-SPM evidence stands alongside ASPM findings; the two cover different ground and are used together.
