What DecisionOS is, who it is for, how it handles data, and how it differs from generic AI research.
DecisionOS is a decision infrastructure platform for enterprise technology decisions. It turns a fragmented buying process — spreadsheets, slide decks, vendor calls, Slack threads — into one structured workflow that produces an audit-ready decision memo. DecisionOS is built by nexalign GmbH, a Berlin-based company, and hosted entirely in the European Union.
DecisionOS is built for CISOs and CIOs who run high-stakes enterprise technology decisions and need a defensible record. Typical users evaluate EDR / XDR, IAM / Identity, governance tooling, sovereign cloud, IT outsourcing, or ERP / CRM. It is not a procurement marketplace and not a generic AI chatbot.
General-purpose AI assistants are great for research, but they do not keep a structured decision record, do not track criteria weights, do not separate hard dealbreakers from weighted trade-offs, and do not produce an audit-ready memo your stakeholders can sign off on. DecisionOS wraps AI research inside a workflow that enforces structure, flags unverified data, and persists everything across decisions.
You start by describing the decision in plain language. DecisionOS extracts category, trigger, urgency and stakeholders. You then confirm options and a shortlist, select applicable compliance frameworks (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2), identify stakeholders and their stance, and score options against weighted criteria. The output is a board-ready decision memo plus per-role stakeholder briefs and a live Readiness Score.
Core deliverables: a board-ready decision memo (PDF), a management brief (NIS2 Art. 20 compatible), individual stakeholder briefs per role, a weighted vendor comparison matrix, a risk and trade-off log, and a Readiness Score with sub-scores for criteria coverage, evidence quality, risk analysis, stakeholder alignment and formal governance.
A decision memo is a short structured document that captures why a decision was made. It records the trigger, the options considered, the criteria, the trade-offs, the stakeholders involved, the risks accepted, and the chosen path. A good decision memo is auditable months or years later, which matters for NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 and internal governance.
Yes. nexalign GmbH is a German company and operates DecisionOS under GDPR. All application data is processed on servers inside the European Union (Hetzner, Nuremberg). There is no third-party tracking, analytics is self-hosted and cookie-free, and a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement is in place with the hosting provider per Art. 28 GDPR.
All application data is hosted in Germany on infrastructure provided by Hetzner Online GmbH (Nuremberg). No data leaves the European Union. Transactional email (for example demo-booking confirmations) is delivered via Resend under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
DecisionOS maps decisions against NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR. For NIS2 and DORA there are auto-suggested dealbreakers based on the scope of the decision. The output memo is shaped to be usable directly in audit and governance reviews.
A typical technology decision that would take months with spreadsheets and scattered calls can be structured in an afternoon with DecisionOS. The exact time depends on how many stakeholders need to be aligned and how much external evidence (vendor research, compliance proof) needs to be gathered. The Readiness Score tells you when the memo is actually audit-ready.
Pricing is provided during a scheduled demo. There is no self-serve purchase. The reason is that deployment always involves a short discovery call to understand the specific decisions, compliance scope and stakeholder landscape. To discuss pricing, book a demo at nexalign.io/book.
nexalign is operated by nexalign GmbH, registered in Berlin, Germany (Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 279058), managed by Tim Ponier. The company is focused on decision infrastructure for European enterprises with regulated workloads.
Yes. You can book a 30-minute demo at nexalign.io/book. During the demo you will see how a real decision is set up end-to-end, from trigger to board-ready memo, using a scenario close to your own.
DecisionOS produces standard outputs (PDF, plain text, structured JSON where relevant) that fit into existing document management, GRC tools and procurement suites. Deeper integrations are scoped per customer during onboarding. DecisionOS is not designed to replace your procurement suite or your GRC platform — it feeds them.
Yes, where it helps. AI is used to extract structure from your initial problem description, to populate vendor research, to suggest stakeholder concerns, and to draft summary sections. Every AI-generated value is clearly flagged as a suggestion and can be edited or rejected. The final memo is always human-signed.
