Zero trust architecture
No implicit trust from network position. Every request is authenticated and authorised on its own merits, service-to-service calls carry verifiable identity, and segmentation limits what a compromised component can reach.
- mTLS service identity
- Per-request authorisation
- Network segmentation
Encryption
TLS 1.3 for data in transit and authenticated encryption at rest. Key material is held in a managed key service with defined rotation, and application code handles key references rather than raw keys.
- TLS 1.3 in transit
- Encryption at rest
- Managed key rotation
Identity & access management
Designed to federate with enterprise identity providers via OIDC and SAML, with role-based access control, SCIM-style provisioning, and short-lived scoped credentials in place of long-lived static keys.
- OIDC / SAML federation
- RBAC
- Short-lived credentials
Audit trails
Security-relevant events — authentication, authorisation decisions, data access, model invocation, configuration change — are written to an append-only trail with a stable schema suitable for export into a customer SIEM.
- Append-only events
- Stable export schema
- SIEM-ready
Observability
Structured logs, metrics, and distributed traces with correlation IDs that survive across service and model boundaries. If an outcome cannot be reconstructed after the fact, it is treated as a defect.
- Distributed tracing
- Structured logging
- Correlated metrics
Secure development lifecycle
Dependency and vulnerability scanning in CI, secret scanning on every commit, infrastructure defined as reviewed code, least-privilege build credentials, and threat modelling at design review.
