TrustVerify AI Security & Trust Architecture

AUDIENCE: CISOs · Security Teams · Auditors  |  VERSION: 1.0  |  UPDATED: 2026-06-20

Encryption

At Rest

  • AES-256-GCM for all stored data
  • Key management via AWS KMS with HSM backing
  • Automated key rotation every 90 days
  • Database-level encryption (TDE)

In Transit

  • TLS 1.3 for all API communications
  • TLS 1.2 minimum (1.0/1.1 rejected)
  • Certificate pinning for internal services
  • HSTS enforced on all public endpoints

Access Control

Authentication

  • OAuth 2.0 (client credentials + PKCE flows)
  • MFA required for all admin and console access
  • Session timeout: 15 minutes inactivity
  • API keys scoped to specific permissions
  • Separate keys per environment (prod/staging/dev)

Authorization

  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Principle of least privilege enforced
  • Organization-level data isolation (no cross-tenant)
  • Audit log for all permission changes
  • Automated access review every 90 days

Data Handling

Core Commitment: TrustVerify AI does NOT retain customer data content — no documents, conversations, AI outputs, or business data. We retain only metadata: vendor names, API endpoints, score calculations, alert records. Your data stays with you.

What We Collect

  • Vendor names, categories, API endpoints
  • Score calculations and score history
  • Alert metadata (type, severity, timestamp)
  • Policy definitions and enforcement records
  • Webhook delivery receipts

What We Never Collect

  • Customer data content (documents, messages)
  • AI vendor outputs or responses
  • User PII beyond work email
  • Network traffic payload content
  • Vendor proprietary configurations

Data Residency & Retention

Infrastructure

Cloud Platform

  • AWS infrastructure, SOC 2 Type II certified data centers
  • Network segmentation: prod / staging / dev isolated
  • DDoS protection via AWS Shield Advanced
  • CDN via CloudFront with WAF rules

Detection & Prevention

  • IDS/IPS via AWS GuardDuty
  • Weekly automated vulnerability scanning
  • Quarterly manual penetration testing
  • Dependency scanning on every CI build
