Ayliea

Terms of Service

Effective date: February 20, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Ayliea (the "Service"), including the marketing website at ayliea.com and AI Security Assessment consulting services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Ayliea provides AI Security Assessment consulting services, including:

  • AI asset discovery and shadow AI identification
  • Data flow mapping and analysis
  • Security control evaluation across 10 AI-specific domains
  • Compliance gap analysis against industry frameworks (NIST AI RMF, NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, EU AI Act)
  • Risk scoring and prioritized remediation roadmaps
  • Executive and technical deliverable packages

3. Consulting Engagements

Consulting engagements are governed by individual engagement agreements and non-disclosure agreements executed between Ayliea and the client organization.

Engagement scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees are defined in the engagement agreement. All engagements begin with a free scoping call to determine the right package for your organization.

Assessment methodologies, frameworks, tools, and deliverable templates are proprietary to Ayliea and may not be reproduced or distributed without written consent.

4. Assessment Results and Deliverables

4.1 Professional Services

Assessment deliverables — including executive summaries, technical reports, AI asset inventories, compliance gap matrices, remediation roadmaps, and risk registers — are produced by qualified security professionals and represent our expert assessment of your organization's AI security posture at the time of engagement.

4.2 Not Legal Advice

Our assessments and deliverables do not constitute legal advice. You should consult qualified legal counsel for regulatory compliance determinations and legal obligations.

4.3 Point-in-Time Assessment

Assessment results reflect your organization's posture at the time of the engagement. Security posture changes over time as your organization adopts new tools, changes configurations, and responds to evolving threats. Regular reassessment is recommended.

4.4 Framework Accuracy

Our assessment framework is built on publicly available standards (NIST, CIS, ISO, etc.) extended with AI-specific control domains. Framework content is not created, endorsed, or maintained by the organizations that publish those standards (e.g., CIS, NIST, PCI SSC, ISO, AICPA, HHS). You are responsible for verifying that assessment content is current and applicable to your specific regulatory obligations.

4.5 Shared Responsibility

Security outcomes depend on your organization's implementation, operational practices, and ongoing diligence — not solely on assessment findings or the recommendations provided by Ayliea. You bear sole responsibility for the security decisions you make and the controls you implement.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Reproduce, distribute, or publicly share Ayliea's proprietary assessment methodology, tools, or deliverable templates without written consent
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
  • Misrepresent assessment results or deliverables as certifications, attestations, or formal audits

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Service Ownership

The Service, including its design, branding, assessment methodology, control framework, scoring algorithms, deliverable templates, and marketing content, is owned by Ayliea and protected by intellectual property laws.

6.2 Deliverable Ownership

Upon completion of an engagement and receipt of full payment, clients receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the deliverables produced during their engagement for internal business purposes. The underlying methodology and templates remain the intellectual property of Ayliea.

6.3 Feedback

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve the Service.

7. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ayliea shall not be liable for:

  • Security incidents that occur despite following recommendations produced during an engagement
  • Regulatory penalties or compliance failures based on assessment results
  • Loss of data beyond our reasonable control (force majeure, third-party provider outages)
  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the fees paid for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Ayliea harmless from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

9. Termination

9.1 By Either Party

Either party may terminate an engagement as specified in the engagement agreement. Website access may be restricted if these Terms are violated.

9.2 Effect of Termination

Upon termination of an engagement, deliverables produced up to the point of termination remain subject to the engagement agreement terms. We will delete or return engagement data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the engagement agreement.

10. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You agree to resolve disputes individually and waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
