The launch brings AI-powered penetration testing together with continuous compliance and third-party risk management through Mirror, GRACE, and Wizard.Bengaluru, March 24, 2026: Ampcus Cyber, a global cybersecurity solutions provider, has announced the launch of Mirror, the newest addition to its ComplyX portfolio. With this launch, ComplyX strengthens its position as an integrated enterprise cyber resilience platform that brings together As organizations become more dependent on digital systems, cloud infrastructure, applications, and interconnected vendor ecosystems, managing cyber risk is becoming more complex and business-critical. IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 found that the global average cost of a data breach reached USD 4.88 million, while the World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 noted that supply-chain vulnerabilities are now the top ecosystem cyber risk, with 54%  of large organizations identifying them as the biggest barrier to resilience. In this environment, enterprises are under growing pressure not only to detect vulnerabilities faster, but also to stay compliant and secure across their extended digital environments.ComplyX has been designed to address these needs through a more integrated model. Rather than functioning as a collection of disconnected point tools, the platform brings together three connected capabilities. Mirror focuses on identifying exploitable weaknesses across critical digital assets. GRACE is built to simplify and strengthen continuous compliance processes. Wizard extends visibility into third-party and vendor-related risk. Together, they help organizations shift from reactive security management to a more proactive and structured cyber resilience approach.As an AI-powered penetration testing platform, Mirror is designed for continuous delivery environments, integrating directly into CI/CD pipelines to ensure security evolves alongside code. By moving beyond one-time assessments and removing tooling fragmentation, Mirror brings an active, evidence-led approach to identifying security gaps. Its AI-driven engine goes beyond known vulnerabilities to uncover complex business logic flaws and attack paths that are increasingly central to business continuity. Unlike traditional scanners that generate large volumes of alerts without proving exploitability, Mirror validates real attack paths to help teams prioritize vulnerabilities that present actual, documented risk.“The cybersecurity landscape is evolving rapidly, and organizations today need more than just reactive tools. They need continuous visibility, intelligent automation, and integrated compliance management. With the launch of Mirror under the ComplyX platform, we aim to provide enterprises with deeper insights into their cyber risk environment while simplifying how they manage compliance and security operations,” said Deep Chanda, Chief Officer at Ampcus Cyber.Alongside Mirror, GRACE strengthens the compliance layer by unifying audits, controls, evidence management, and cross-framework mapping in a single interface. Its ability to support evidence reuse across frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and NIST helps reduce repetitive effort while improving year-round audit readiness. Wizard complements this by focusing on third-party risk management, enabling organizations to look beyond vendor certifications and point-in-time reviews to assess external applications, APIs, websites, and connected digital environments for hidden vulnerabilities that may introduce enterprise-wide risk.Together with GRACE and Wizard under the ComplyX platform, Mirror enables organizations to move beyond fragmented security practices toward a unified model of continuous testing, compliance assurance, and third-party risk governance.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------About Ampcus Cyber: Ampcus Cyber, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, is a global cybersecurity organisation under the Ampcus Inc. group.
