AI-SPM vs Single-Judge Scanner

A single-judge scanner asks one LLM whether an attack succeeded; a multi-judge pipeline asks several and reconciles them. Single-model scoring inherits that model's blind spots and bias. Penaxtra scores each adversarial output with deterministic checks that run inside our own infrastructure; a three-judge plus meta-judge panel (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) is built for cases that need model scoring and ships switched off. A verdict that is not confident is reported as inconclusive rather than counted as a pass.

What AI-SPM vs Single-Judge Scanner really means

Single-Judge Scanner addresses one part of AI risk. What it leaves uncovered is the rest of the AI 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 covers the AI-specific layer directly: 11 AI asset kinds today, adversarial testing scored by deterministic checks, a self-hosted runtime gateway, and control-ID evidence across seven frameworks. It usually runs alongside Single-Judge Scanner, since the two address different layers. Plans and what each tier includes are on the pricing page.

What Penaxtra adds

Asset discovery across LLM apps, agents, MCP servers, RAG, vector DBs, gateways

Self-hosted runtime gateway with Ed25519-signed policy distribution

Deterministic checks on every adversarial response; a three-judge panel (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) is built for cases that need model scoring and shipped switched off on every adversarial finding

Six-framework compliance mapping at control-ID level

PDF + JSON audit-evidence export with twenty-five cross-framework overlaps

Compliance coverage compared

AI-SPM evidence stands alongside Single-Judge Scanner findings; the two cover different ground and are used together.
