AI-SPM vs Single-Judge Scanner
Single-Judge Scanner is a scanner that scores LLM responses with one model judge. AI-SPM is the broader programme that adds asset discovery, adversarial testing, runtime gateway controls, and control-ID compliance evidence.

What AI-SPM vs Single-Judge Scanner really means
Single-Judge Scanner covers a slice of AI risk. The gap is the rest of the AI control surface: a single model grading another single model inherits the same blind spots; no consensus mechanism, no human review queue for low-confidence cases.
How Penaxtra closes the gap
AI-SPM is purpose-built for the full AI control surface: 11 AI asset kinds today, three-judge adversarial testing, self-hosted runtime gateway, and six-framework compliance evidence. Most customers run AI-SPM alongside Single-Judge Scanner rather than replacing it.
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 Single-Judge Scanner findings; the two are complementary, not substitutes.
