Dove Knogin Argus va oltre
Unified Operational Intelligence
Compliance is one module of a multi-domain platform that also covers investigation, crisis management, field ops, OSINT and sensor fusion, with no external tools or exports.
Sovereign & Air-Gap Deployment
European edge, on-premise or fully air-gapped deployments with the same feature set, as required for defence, critical infrastructure and EDF/PESCO programs.
Cryptographic Chain-of-Custody
Every record is hashed and timestamped (SHA-256/512, BLAKE2b, Merkle trees) so compliance data is court-ready without extra tooling.
Open APIs, No Per-Connector Fees
Unlimited data sources via GraphQL. Connect ERPs, sensors, CCTV, BWC and IoT without paying per integration.

Differenze chiave
Le dimensioni più rilevanti per scegliere la piattaforma.
Platform Scope
Knogin Argus
Unified multi-domain platform: compliance, investigation, crisis, field ops and intelligence, all on one data model, one graph and one audit trail.
FlexManager
Focused on EHS, facilities and compliance workflows; investigation, graph analytics and intelligence require external tools.
Sovereignty & Deployment
Knogin Argus
Sovereign EU edge, private cloud, on-premise and air-gapped deployment with identical capabilities, aligned with EDF/PESCO requirements.
FlexManager
SaaS-first deployment; sovereign and air-gapped operation is not a core capability.
Intelligence & Analytics
Knogin Argus
Real-time graph analysis, HDBSCAN alert clustering, ML entity resolution and multi-modal AI, built into every workflow.
FlexManager
Reporting and KPI dashboards on compliance data; no graph analytics or ML correlation layer.
Integration Model
Knogin Argus
Open GraphQL + REST with unlimited connectors. Sensor, CCTV, BWC and IoT ingestion are native.
FlexManager
APIs and third-party integration available but typically tied to commercial connector catalogues.
Esempi d'uso interattivi
Espandi ogni scenario per vedere la differenza.
Quarterly site compliance audit across 40 locations
A facilities operator needs to run a recurring compliance audit across 40 sites, capture photos with annotations, escalate defects to remediation tasks and prove chain-of-custody to a regulator.
FlexManager
Runs the audit through a pre-built EHS module, captures findings on mobile, emails PDF reports and tracks remediation inside the same compliance suite.
Knogin Argus
Runs the same audit inside a unified operational workflow: every finding is hashed into the evidence ledger, automatically linked to asset, person, contract and incident nodes in the graph, and exposed as structured data for downstream investigations.
Example: an audit photo of a failing fire door is hashed, geotagged, linked to the responsible contractor entity, and triggers a remediation ticket plus a risk-score update on the parent site, all in one click.
Major workplace incident with regulator notification
A serious incident occurs on site. The team must notify the regulator, preserve evidence, coordinate responders and build a case pack.
FlexManager
Captures the incident record, attaches files, routes notifications through the compliance workflow and exports a report.
Knogin Argus
Opens a live operational case that fuses incident, CCTV, BWC, sensor and witness data under cryptographic chain-of-custody, runs HDBSCAN clustering on related alerts and generates a court-ready evidence pack.
Example: within minutes, the operator sees related past incidents, affected assets, people on site (via NFC check-in) and a recommended response playbook on a single task-first screen.
Critical asset inspection with NFC/QR identification
Field engineers inspect thousands of critical assets with NFC/QR tagging, capturing readings, photos and signatures offline.
FlexManager
Uses FlexManager's NFC/mobile forms and syncs to the back-end when connectivity returns.
Knogin Argus
Same offline-first mobile capture, plus every reading is projected into the operational graph with temporal provenance, enabling predictive maintenance and risk correlation across the full estate.
Example: a pressure reading from a remote substation feeds a risk model that automatically reprioritises the inspection route for the next shift.
Critical infrastructure operations under EDF/PESCO
A critical infrastructure operator is required to run compliance and operational workflows in a sovereign, auditable, air-gap-capable environment.
FlexManager
Typical SaaS deployment on commercial cloud; sovereign and air-gapped operation is not a standard offering.
Knogin Argus
Runs natively on sovereign EU edge or fully air-gapped with the same features, aligned to EDF digital-sovereignty requirements and NATO interoperability.
Example: the same Argus workload runs on Cloudflare EU edge for day-to-day operations and on an air-gapped private cloud for classified exercises, with the same code, the same graph and the same audit trail.

Scegli Knogin Argus se
- You need compliance, investigation, crisis and field ops on one platform

- You require court-ready cryptographic chain-of-custody
- You want unlimited integrations via open GraphQL APIs
- You want a task-first, low-cognitive-load UX for frontline operators
Domande frequenti
Is Argus really a replacement for a dedicated compliance tool like FlexManager?
For most operators, yes. Argus supports configurable inspection and audit workflows, mobile capture, digital signatures, NFC/QR asset identification and multilingual operations, plus the unified operational graph, investigation, crisis and sensor capabilities that a pure compliance tool does not offer.
Can I keep FlexManager and still use Argus?
Yes. Argus ingests data from FlexManager (and any other system) via open GraphQL and REST without per-connector fees, so you can layer unified operational intelligence on top of existing compliance tooling and migrate progressively.
Does Argus support air-gapped / sovereign deployment?
Yes. Argus runs on sovereign EU edge, private cloud, on-premise and fully air-gapped environments with the same feature set, aligned with EDF/PESCO and NATO STANAG interoperability requirements.
How does Argus handle chain-of-custody and audit trails?
Every record, edit and evidence item is hashed (SHA-256/512, BLAKE2b) and Merkle-anchored, with full audit trails including user, organisation, action, resource and secrecy level, as a native capability rather than an add-on.
