AI governed build

Build your own tools with AI.

Your team builds its own AI tools or software. SevenLab checks security, helps you go live and keeps it running.

For example, a tool for planning, quotes or documents. Your people know the work, our senior engineers check every change.

Years building software

Before a new version goes live, we check the code, data access and security. Then we keep the software running.

Already built something? We check your existing software and help you launch it safely. Your IT team and tools stay, the code stays yours.

Your own people build with AI. Our experienced software engineers check and operate the result. You do not need to hire a full development team for this.

Watch the story

Your team builds. We check and operate.

  1. Start together

    We agree what your team will build and set up the workspace and checks. Start with Battlestack or your existing software. Talk to our senior engineers in a shared Slack channel.

    way of working agreed
  2. Build with AI

    Your team makes its own AI tools or software with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. A senior engineer checks every proposed code change, called a pull request, before it is merged.

    change approved
  3. Check and launch

    We test security, access rights and performance under load. We list the software components used (SBOM) and scan for exposed passwords and keys. A new version goes live only after approval.

    approved for launch
  4. Operate and improve

    SevenLab keeps the software running. We monitor it from the EU, help with incidents and provide a monthly summary of changes, incidents and risks.

    monthly summary

Start with Battlestack.

Battlestack is our open-source starting point for your own software. You get a working foundation and rules for your AI tools. The code is on GitHub, in a Git repository you can manage yourself.

npx battlestack@latest my-appcd my-appbattlestack dev

Requires Node 24 or newer. You only need Docker for the templates with a database.

One command to a running app

You answer a few questions and Battlestack writes a Nuxt 4 app with Docker and CI already set up. Add login and a Postgres database when you need them.

Rules for your AI tools

Every project gets an AGENTS.md and a .mcp.json, so Claude Code and other AI tools start from the same rules.

Stays current

battlestack pull brings improvements into a project you started months ago. battlestack doctor shows where your project has drifted.

How an engineer checks access to data.

Illustrative example
AI suggestedsupabase/policies/orders.sql
             1 -- AI-suggested RLS policy 2 create policy "orders_select" on orders 3-  for select using (true); 4  5 -- Grants every authenticated user 6 -- read access to every tenant's orders.
          
After SevenLab reviewsupabase/policies/orders.sql
             1 -- Reviewed RLS policy 2 create policy "orders_select" on orders 3+  for select using ( 4+    tenant_id = auth.jwt() ->> 'tenant_id' 5+  ); 6 -- Tenant-scoped, GDPR Art. 32 aligned.

In this example, any signed-in user could see other customers’ orders. The engineer changes the code so users can only read orders from their own organisation.

Checks, launch and operations in one partnership.

Pull request review by a senior engineer

A senior engineer reviews and signs every PR before it is merged.

Shared Slack channel with senior engineers

Direct line to the engineers who review your code. For architecture questions, blockers and pre-PR sanity checks.

Production deployment + IaC

Infrastructure as code, signed releases and reproducible builds. We set up and operate the deployment pipeline.

Audit trail, SBOM and secrets scanning per release

Software bill of materials and secrets scan on every deploy. Audit trail ready by default for ISO 27001; NIS2 and DORA artefacts optional.

EU observability + on-call

Dashboards, alerting and on-call escalation hosted in EU regions, with named engineers responsible for incident response.

Monthly governance report

A summary of releases, incidents, outstanding risks and compliance coverage for your management team.

Onboarding workshop included

We start with a workflow presentation and stack agreement session, set up before the first pull request.

Works with your existing stack

Your IT team stays owner of architecture and tooling, and Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT and Cursor stay in use. We adapt to the stack your team has chosen, with no forced migrations or rebuilds.

What we check before your software goes live.

Examples of checks. They reduce risk but do not rule out errors.

Code

Does the software work as intended?

A senior engineer checks the code and discusses issues with your team.

Checkevery change
Access

Can someone see another customer’s data?

We check who can read and change each set of data.

Accessto the right data
Components

Which software are you using?

We list components and scan for vulnerabilities and exposed keys.

Scanbefore launch
Usage

What happens when usage grows?

We test performance under load and set up monitoring and incident support.

Operateafter launch

You know the work.Build your own software for it.

AI lets you create a tool for your daily work. AI governed build means SevenLab checks every change, helps you go live and runs the software.

Coverage per framework.

For your IT team and auditors: these checks and documents help explain how your software is secured. Applicable obligations depend on your organisation and use case.

  • NIS2 / Cyberbeveiligingswet24h early warningBoard-level accountability, incident reporting within 24 hours for essential entities. optional
  • DORAArt. 28 · Art. 17Third-party ICT oversight, audit rights, and major incident reporting for financial entities. optional
  • EU AI ActRisk management lifecycleRisk management, data governance and post-market monitoring for high-risk AI systems. covered
  • ISO 27001A.8.28 · A.8.30Secure coding controls and outsourced development oversight, evidenced per release. covered
  • GDPRArt. 32Appropriate technical measures, including encryption, access control and tested resilience. covered

Coverage means we operate the controls these frameworks require, not that we issue certifications. NIS2 and DORA are not part of the standard engagement. We can set those controls and artefacts up as an option. We work alongside your auditors and provide the artefacts they need.

One partnership, from checks to operations.

The starting workshop, security checks, operations and monthly reporting are included.
