Pillar 10; the substrate

Security & control

Security at the substrate, not bolted on as a feature. Every tenant lives in its own database behind passkeys and field-level RBAC. Logins, queries, AI calls and access patterns stream into an always-on anomaly engine; suspicious sessions get throttled or locked automatically and every action lands in a tamper-evident audit chain. EU AI Act and NYC LL 144 evidence is part of the API, not bolted on.

Monitored 24/7 Zero shared schemas Passkey-first
  • Per-tenant database isolation; zero shared schemas
  • Passkeys, SSO/SAML, SCIM, 2FA step-up
  • Field-level RBAC with just-in-time elevation
  • Tamper-evident audit chain; cryptographically signed, exportable
  • Always-on anomaly detection on logins, queries and AI calls
  • Automatic session lockdown on suspicious access patterns
  • AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, BYOK on Enterprise
  • EU AI Act + NYC LL 144 + GDPR Article 22 conformity packs
