Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security built in at every layer. Your data stays yours.

Data Protection

Encryption at Rest

All sensitive data encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Database credentials, API keys, and PII fields are never stored in plaintext.

Encryption in Transit

TLS 1.3 enforced on all connections — API traffic, database connections, and inter-service communication.

No Data Caching

Query results are streamed to users, not persisted. Only metadata (schema shapes, query patterns) is stored.

Data Sovereignty

BYOC: all data stays within your infrastructure. SaaS: data isolated per region (US, EU, APAC).

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Row Level Security (RLS) — Every database query is scoped to the authenticated tenant. Cross-tenant data access is impossible at the database level.
Separate Connection Pools — Each tenant's database credentials are isolated. One tenant cannot query another tenant's databases.
API Key Scoping — API keys are tenant-bound. A key issued to Org A cannot access Org B's data.

Access Control (RBAC)

Role	Permissions
Admin	Full access: connections, users, billing, configuration
Analyst	Query, upload, view results. Cannot manage connections or users.
Viewer	Read-only dashboards and saved queries
API	Programmatic access scoped by key permissions

Query Safety

Read-Only Execution — NL2SQL generates SELECT statements only. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DDL blocked at the engine level.
Query Timeouts — Configurable per connection (default 30s). Long-running queries terminated automatically.
Row Limits — Results capped (default 10,000 rows) to prevent accidental full-table scans.
SQL Injection Prevention — AI-generated SQL is validated before execution. Parameterized where applicable.

PII Detection

Automatic PII classification during schema profiling:

Email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers
Credit card numbers (Luhn-validated pattern match)
Physical addresses, dates of birth
Custom PII patterns configurable per organization

PII columns are flagged in the catalog. Organizations can configure masking rules or exclude PII columns from NL2SQL entirely.

Audit Trail

Every action logged — queries, uploads, config changes, logins, exports
Immutable — audit records cannot be modified or deleted
Timestamped with user ID — who did what, when, from where
Exportable — CSV/JSON export for external SIEM integration
Retention — configurable per organization (default: 2 years)

Compliance Frameworks

SOX Readiness

Segregation of duties, change audit trail, approval workflows for financial data access.

Built for HIPAA

Encryption, access controls, audit logging and minimum-necessary AI handling cover the technical safeguards; we sign a Business Associate Agreement before any real patient data is loaded. BYOC keeps PHI in your own cloud.

GDPR-aligned

Data minimization, erasure and export requests, PII detection and masking. A Data Processing Agreement is available; EU data residency through BYOC deployment in your own region.

SOC 2 Type II in progress

Controls implemented across access, change management, encryption and audit logging; an independent CPA examination is under way.

Authentication Methods

Email + Password (with MFA)
Google OAuth 2.0
Microsoft Azure AD / Entra ID
OIDC (any compliant provider)
SAML 2.0 (Enterprise SSO)
API Keys (for programmatic access)
