isora-assess

isora-assess is a command for Claude Code from nathanimphilipos/synergos-grc. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,640 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An evidence-based security risk assessment using ISORA, a question set for checking whether security controls are actually operating.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess control questions across security areas by searching available control records and SOC 2 evidence for proof that controls are in place.
Why use it?
It looks for supporting evidence rather than judging only the wording of policies or assigning a maturity score. Missing or conflicting evidence is identified as a problem.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

isora-assess scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ISORA Evidence-Based Risk Assessment

What This Command Does

This is NOT a narrative review. This is NOT a maturity score. This command answers one question per control:

"Based on the evidence artifacts available, can we infer that this control is actually in place and operating?"

It reads the ISORA question set (216 questions across 12 families), then for each question it hunts through every available evidence source to find proof. If proof exists, the answer is favorable. If proof is missing or contradictory, the answer is unfavorable. If proof is indirect but strongly suggestive, it's favorable with an inference note.
