Start with tenant setup, then hierarchy, then taxonomy, then controls. ## Why Aegis Aegis is built as a **governance operating system**: one place where governance, risk, compliance, and audit connect—so configuration and reporting reinforce the same ownership and evidence. If you are evaluating the platform, start with [Unified GRC operating model](/knowledge/unified-grc-operating-model) before you dive into tenant setup below. ## Overview Aegis is structured to move from governance setup into risk intake and portfolio intelligence. Use this guide when you need a clean deployment with minimal rework. ## Prerequisites - Tenant owner assigned - Initial admin account created - Basic policy and control sources available - Risk taxonomy source list available ## Step-by-step launch

Confirm tenant profile and package settings.

Create divisions and departments in Governance.

Load taxonomy and scoring model baseline.

Enable KRIs and escalation matrices.

Validate dashboard and governance intelligence views.

## Verification checklist - Governance status moves from `incomplete` to `partial` or `active` - At least one framework and one taxonomy root node exist - At least one scoring model and KRI config is active - A test submission appears in dashboard widgets ## Next steps Continue with [Customer Onboarding: End-to-End](/knowledge/customer-onboarding) for a full rollout schedule. ## Related: platform pillars - [GRC platform](/grc-software) - [Governance Operating System](/governance-operating-system) - [Risk management software](/risk-management-software) - [Compliance management software](/compliance-management-software) - [Internal audit software](/internal-audit-software)
