Trust & security — the honest version

No theater. Here's exactly where your data goes.

Most vendor trust pages are a wall of badges. This one is a map of the boundary, a list of enforced controls, and a plain statement of what we are not yet.

The boundary

Your pod. Your keys. Your account.

Every deployment is a single-tenant pod in your VPC or on a dedicated instance. The only egress is the Anthropic API — on your Anthropic account, under your DPA, with your keys.

No phone-home. No shared multi-tenant store. No third-party analytics we ship.

One honest caveat

This site sits behind Cloudflare, which injects its own privacy-first analytics beacon at the edge. That is the only third-party script on the domain, and it's on this website — not in your pod.

Enforced controls

What's actually enforced, not just written down

Approval gates

Irreversible and production actions always escalate to a human; the gate list is versioned in the governance corpus.

Proof-gated closure

A defect cannot reach "verified" without a passing test plus evidence — enforced by database triggers, not policy documents.

Secret hygiene

Credentials live in one owner-only store; repo/index-level scanning refuses to index credential files; leaked means rotated, no exceptions.

Backup-before-write

Every durable file gets a timestamped backup before modification.

Daily regression

The full smoke/regression suite runs every morning; failures auto-file defects.

Spend caps

Every LLM call routes through a metered gateway with per-pod budget caps and per-call cost attribution.

Decision logs

Agent work ships with a first-person decision log — the parameters chosen and why.

Compliance, honestly

SOC 2 / ISO 27001

Not certified yet

We are pre-customer-one and we say so. The control list above is what we already enforce on ourselves; certification is scheduled with the first enterprise deployment that requires it.

Ask us this on the call — we'd rather lose a deal than fake a badge.
