Ansvar is a compliance and security intelligence platform delivered as a gateway rather than a standalone application. Instead of a separate research tool, teams connect an AI client they already use to a single MCP endpoint, which grounds that client's answers in verified source material.

Key features and functions include:

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway
Connects AI clients such as Claude Desktop, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Cursor, Azure AI Foundry, VS Code Copilot, and Open WebUI, or any MCP-compatible agent, to the Ansvar Gateway via a single OAuth 2.1 endpoint. No server-side model is used; model traffic passes directly between the client and the model provider, with Ansvar seeing only the tool calls (queries and lookups) sent by the client.

Regulatory and Legal Coverage
Provides access to millions of cited legal provisions across licensing-audited jurisdictions in Europe, the UK, and the US, along with EU-level frameworks including GDPR, NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

Security Framework and Threat Intelligence
Includes live threat intelligence feeds (CVE, KEV, EPSS) and control mappings across a large library of security frameworks, including NIST 800-53, CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA crosswalks.

Structured Workflows
Generates STRIDE and LINDDUN threat models, automotive TARAs, DPIAs, regulatory gap analyses, and audit packages as cited, exportable documents rather than chat transcripts. Document upload with paragraph-level, hash-anchored citations is available on higher-tier plans.

Citation and Refusal Discipline
Served results include a source URL, publisher, and licence at the paragraph level. When no verified source is available, the platform returns an explicit unresolved marker rather than an answer generated from model memory.

ISO Standards Module
Serves licensed clause and control text from several ISO standards, including ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27002, ISO/IEC 27005, ISO/IEC 42001, and ISO/SAE 21434, under a licensing agreement with SIS, the Swedish Institute for Standards, with additional standards available on request.

Expert-Delivered Engagements
Offers fixed-scope engagements in which an Ansvar practitioner reviews and signs a completed assessment, intended for situations requiring a named expert behind a deliverable for audit or regulatory purposes.
