What does ALCE Consulting do?

ALCE builds secure AI agents for small and mid-sized businesses. Four products are live today — Ghost (website security scanner), Optimus (continuous posture and vendor monitoring), Axiom (data intelligence platform), and RAG Engine (on-prem knowledge agent with SMS access).

Is Ghost a free scan?

Yes. Ghost runs a complete external security audit of your website at no cost, in under 8 minutes. No login, no setup, no credit card. You receive a scored report with plain-English findings and prioritized remediation steps.

How does Optimus monitor vendors?

When you invite a vendor, they verify domain ownership through a DNS TXT record, then Ghost's full 21-check audit fires automatically. The result is timestamped, documented, and stored to the vendor's profile in your dashboard — audit-defensible by design.

Does my data leave my infrastructure when using Axiom?

No. Axiom generates and validates SQL against your schema, runs queries read-only against your data, and returns results to you. The raw data never leaves your infrastructure. Destructive operations are blocked at the architecture level.

Can RAG Engine run fully on-premise?

Yes. RAG Engine deploys in two models: cloud-hosted on your tenant (your documents, your vector store, your model endpoint) or fully on-premise / air-gapped for regulated environments. Both are RMF-mapped and audit-defensible.
